AllMusic[2]

Soft Samba Strings is a 1965 album by jazz arranger and vibraphonist Gary McFarland.[2]

Reception

Douglas Payne reviewed the album for AllMusic and compared it dismissively to Soft Samba writing that it was "A misleading title that has less to do with Soft Samba and more to do with McFarland's similar feature for Zoot Sims (Waiting Game). Rather dull, perhaps because a strong soloist like Sims is missing".[2]
