Stan Getz, Charlie Byrd – Jazz Samba – Vinyl LP

High Quality

180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL – THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 2 BONUS TRACKS

While the 1953 Bud Shank/Laurindo Almeida recordings were the precursors of the bossa nova-jazz fusion, the 1962 Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd LP “Jazz Samba” , produced by Creed Taylor, started an international craze for bossa nova and is, universally, considered a true classic.

Producers were quick to exploit the Bossa Nova craze in the first half of the ’60s and many famous jazzmen at that time recorded albums that were, wholly or partially, made up of songs from the genre. Though the craze may have waned a little since those early years, bossa nova remains a vehicle of inspiration for many of today’s musicians.
