Synopsis

Product Description
The words ''bossa nova'' are often synonymous with the name Stan Getz. But North Americans might not have ever known the sound of bossa nova had it not been for Charlie Byrd. In 1961, Byrd returned from a tour of South America, where bossa nova music was thriving. The style was the invention of singer Joao Gilberto and songwriter Antonio Carlos Jobim - an adaptation of infectious Brazilian samba rhythms with the harmonic structures and ''cool'' surface of West Coast jazz. Byrd brought back records for Getz to hear, they planned a session, and the result was Jazz Samba - the first album of true bossa nova music by jazz artists. Originally released in 1962, the album has been carefully remastered for SACD to provide the best possible sound.
