Soul Español
Soul Español is an album by jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, released in 1966. It focuses mostly on the music of Brazilian composers. Reception. Writing for AllMusic, critic Ken Dryden wrote "With the surge of interest in bossa nova and samba, Peterson's interpretations of songs like "Manha de Carnaval," "How Insensitive," "Meditation," and "Samba de Orfeo" have stood up very well against similar jazz recordings of the mid-'60s. This is an enjoyable, if not essential, part of Oscar Peterson's considerable discography."
