Jazz Samba (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series)

• Track Listing

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing housed in gatefold jacket. When Charlie Byrd toured South America in 1961, bossa nova - a melding of Brazilian samba rhythms with the harmonic structures and the cool sound of West Coast jazz - was booming. He brought back records for Stan Getz to hear, and they planned a session. The result was Jazz Samba, the first album of bossa nova by jazz artists and the one that created the bossa nova wave. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features remastered transfers from analog tapes.
