Jazz Samba

When Charlie Byrd toured South America in 1961, Bossa Nova – a melding of Brazilian samba rhythms with the harmonic structures and 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 music by jazz artists and the one that created the Bossa Nova wave.
