The CrusadersPretty groovy. Familiar with title track but only as single version. Alfonso Johnson played on this one

One note samba is a classic. Def sets standards but a little too laid back. Almost cliche but those things started here. Might need a few listens but got burned out
Absolute madness
A little too laid back for me.
A few really good songs, some kinda lame songs. Great production and arrangements.
Pretty good but a couple stinkers. Great arrangements and solos
Fantastic album. Great bass work.
So ubiquitous in american culture it's stupid
It's not for me, too sad and laid back, but this is an important album as a concept album and vocal pop album. Vocal performance is fantastic.
Great blend of pop songs, big band jazz, and rock n roll. Good energy and mix of fast and slow songs.
Hits all the funk fusion I like, some straight ahead. Lots of great playing, especially the keys. Everything I'm looking for in a jazz album.

I don't understand why this is on the list. It doesn't feel special or significant enough. Its a vibe but feels like an attempt for Gilberto to stay relevant after Girl From Ipanema and the far superior Getz/Gilberto album. Feels like campy over commercialized crap to me and not even close to her best work. Is this included solely to try to showcase her career outside Getz/Gilbert? Really no new ground broken here and not a significant album in any space. Does not belong on the list, so it's a 1. Also, Parade is one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard.
