I just picked up a "budget" CD on the Atlantic label at a nearby Borders location--it is one of fifty Atlantic 50th Anniversary jazz/blues releases, with a personal note from Ahmet Ertegun and dedicated to his late brother, Nesuhi. This one is called Herbie Mann & Joao Gilberto with Antonio Carlos Jobim. This one features arrangements on most tracks (and supposedly, some instrumental accompaniment...I have no clue thanks to the sketchy liner notes) by Jobim, who also lends his vocals to Herbie Mann's version of "One Note Samba". Seven tracks are performed by Gilberto and, for the most part, sound a lot like his work on the famous Getz/Gilberto album. If you like that one, this one will also be to your liking. Mann's five tracks, except for "One Note Samba", are instrumentals, and the two musicians' performances are intermixed in the running order. Quite a nice little album!
Naturally, the A&M links here are Jobim and Herbie Mann.
