Though Sammy Davis, Jr. was best known for singing to big band swing sounds,

when given the chance he could shine just as well in other musical landscapes.

Here he's paired with Brazilian guitarist Laurindo Almeida, performing jazz standards.

The pair effortlessly complement each other inside the very intonation and tenor of their respective crafts.

Davis incisive abilities as an emotive performer bring a pervasive dramatic quality to the wide range of material covered.

Unique and thoroughly fascinating.
