Do the Bossa Nova with Herbie Mann Do the Bossa Nova with Herbie Mann Do the Bossa Nova with Herbie Mann (subtitled Recorded in Rio de Janeiro with the Greatest Bossa Nova Players) is an album by American jazz flautist Herbie Mann recorded in 1962 for the Atlantic label. AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating "Rather than play a watered-down version of bossa nova in New York studios (which was becoming quite common as the bossa nova fad hit its peak in 1962), flutist Herbie Mann went down to Brazil and recorded with some of the top players of the
Cannonball's Bossa Nova some of the local talent. Little more than a sweet-natured excursion into some of the indigenous music, it's a pleasing diversion." Cannonball's Bossa Nova Cannonball's Bossa Nova is a 1962 album by jazz musician Julian "Cannonball" Adderley. First released on Riverside in 1963, the album was reissued on Capitol Records several times with different covers and titles. The Allmusic review by Al Campbell awarded the album 2 stars and states: "Unfortunately this release contains little fire, as Adderley didn't get much rehearsal time with these musicians. Combined with the repetitious nature of the Bossa Nova these proceedings can get tedious."
