Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd - Jazz Samba LP (Reissue w/ 2 Bonus Tracks)

LP - Limited Edition 180g Black Vinyl featuring the complete album + 2 bonus tracks (2025 Number One Essentials Edition). 

The 1962 album "Jazz Samba" by Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd is widely recognized as the record that launched the global bossa nova phenomenon, building on earlier 1953 recordings by Bud Shank and Laurindo Almeida. Featuring iconic instrumental tracks like "Desafinado," "O Pato," and "One Note Samba," this classic continues to be a staple on radio and in public spaces more than four decades after its debut. A must-have for anyone who appreciates jazz or popular music.

"Like all records that become a cultural phenomenon, there is always a danger that the music gets lost along the way. Hearing Jazz Samba afresh and in a new edition is always a heart-warming and uplifting experience." - Brian Morton

"Partly because of its Brazilian collaborators and partly because of 'The Girl From Ipanema', Getz/Gilberto is nearly always acknowledged as the Stan Getz bossa nova LP. But Jazz Samba is just as crucial and groundbreaking; after all, it came first, and in fact was the first full-fledged bossa nova album ever recorded by American jazz musicians. And it was just as commercially successful, topping the LP charts and producing its own pop chart hit single in 'Desafinado'. A revelatory classic. Absolutely essential for any jazz collection." - ***** Steve Huey, AllMusic
