Guaraldi and Sete team up again for another attractive, mostly bossa nova session, this time with a softer-focused rhythm section, shorter tracks, and more Guaraldi tunes (4) on the menu than before. Guaraldi's quasi-Oriental &Ginza& is resurrected and retooled, &The Girl From Ipanema& and &A Taste Of Honey& are dutifully covered, and the most amusing track is Vince's tongue-in-cheek, slightly rock-ish cha-cha &The Ballad Of Pancho Villa.& Although Guaraldi was in somewhat fresher form in his other albums with Sete, this one won't disappoint his fans
