Stan Getz

MINI-LP PAPERSLEEVE EDITION

2 LPs ON 1 CD Plus 1 BONUS TRACK

While the 1953 Bud Shank/Laurindo Almeida recordings were the precursors of the bossa nova-jazz fusion, the two 1962 Stan Getz LPs included here, "Jazz Samba" and "Big Band Bossa Bova" (and the two which would follow them in 1963, "Jazz Samba Encore" and "Getz-Gilberto") would start the bossa nova craze. Producers were quick to exploit the Bossa Nova craze in the first half of the ‘60s. Most of the famous jazzmen recorded an album, or at least a couple of tunes in the genre, with uneven results (Quincy Jones even recorded an album in 1962 that was also titled "Big Band Bossa Nova!!!"). The two albums compiled here, are now considered true classics and continue to bring pleasure to a variety of listeners.
