More Info:
UK collection of songs composed by the Brazilian Bossa Nova icon. Jazz had been one of the influences of Bossa and with the success of Joao Gilberto, within Brazil, it was inevitable that eventually the two schools would began to mix. This fusion was encouraged by the US state department in sponsoring such musicians as guitarist Charlie Byrd and flautist Herbie Mann on goodwill tours of South America. When Byrd returned home to Washington DC., he enthused about bossa to the saxophonist Stan Getz and in 1962 the two created Jazz Samba. Bossa nova captured the imagination of the North American public. It's simplicity and cool sophistication seemed the ideal soundtrack for the consumerist early '60s; a new world of sports cars, hi-fi and bikinis. Jazz Samba was the vanguard. El.
