Text (written by Terri Hinte, Milestone/Fantasy Records' publicist) for the back cover of the CD:

"This second release of Brazilian Horizons is an ideal companion to Milestone's earlier collection of (in the words of both sets' producer) "jazz-imbued Brazilian music and Brazilian-inspired jazz." Expertly compiled by Arnaldo DeSouteiro, music-rich Brazil's foremost jazz producer and journalist, this anthology offers a gliterring array of jazz and latin-jazz players and singers (Coltrane, Fitzgerald, Tyner and Tjader among them) and major figures of Brazilian music (including Antonio Carlos Jobim, Bola Sete, and Moacir Santos) interpreting the timeless songs of Jobim, Ary Barroso, João Gilberto, Luiz Bonfá, Ivan Lins, and Milton Nascimento, among others. While bossa nova is the widely represented idiom, pre- and post-bossa styles are well represented, too, in almost 73 minutes of poignant melodies, flowing solos, percolating rhythms, and poetic lyrics. Perhaps the most notable item here is Jobim's "Dreamer", previously available only on an obscure 45, featuring the composer on guitar and a wistful, Chet Baker-ish vocal by the late arranger/composer/vibist Gary McFarland."
