Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd - Jazz Samba
The words bossa nova are often synonymous with the name Stan Getz.But North Americans might never have known the bright sound of bossa nova if it weren't for Charlie Byrd.In 1961, Byrd returned from a tour of South America, where bossa nova music was enjoying a boom.The style was the brainchild of singer João 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 records for Getz to listen to, they planned a session, and the result was "Jazz Samba"—the first album of genuine bossa nova music by jazz artists and the one that ignited the bossa nova wave in 1960s America.The original recordings were produced by Creed Taylor.Recorded on February 13, 1962, at Pierce Hall, All Souls Unitarian Church, Washington, D.C.
