Trecho das notas de contracapa escritas por Gene Lees (crítico de música e letrista):
"I have been asked to say a few words on behalf of Paul Desmond. Paul has asked me not to. He asked me to discuss instead Edu Lobo and Milton Nascimento, who wrote all the tunes in this album (Not together; each works separately.) They are two of Brazil"s most gifted younger composers- composers of the post-bossa nova wave of talent. Brazil produces composers almost as readily as coffee beans ; maybe that' what they call a two-crop economy?
Edu's father, I am told is a music critic. So am I. As a redeeming feature, I can always point out that I have also produced some pretty good songs, but Edu Lobo's father can always point that he produced Edu Lobo.
Edu Lobo is a guitarist and singer of great ability. Fascinated by the music from the north of Brazil, he has created a kind of song that is all his own, a kind of song with a genuinely new flavor.
And so has Milton Nascimento. Milton, who is in his early twenties, is also a guitaris and a composer.Milton comes from Rio de Janeiro. Sel taught for the most part, he makes songs that have a haunting, folkloric flavor".
