While the title track duplicates the original percolating groove of \"El Prince,\" other tracks like \"Samba Cantina\" revert to a typical bossa nova rhythm of the period, which leads one to conclude that \"bossa antigua\" is merely whatever Desmond says it is. Of the album's two non-originals, \"The Night Has a Thousand Eyes,\" of course, is made-to-order for Desmond's wistful, sophisticated temperament, and he delivers exactly what a Desmond devotee would expect and love; and \"A Ship Without a Sail\" has some memorable off-the-cuff solo ideas. Jim Hall is around again to lend subtle rhythm support and low-key savvy in his solos, and like many Desmond companions of this period, he makes a fine sparring partner in the contrapuntal exchanges. The Brubeck Quartet's Gene Wright again lends a sturdy hand on bass. The playing is wonderful throughout, though just missing the full-throttle inspiration of Take Ten. ~ Richard S.
