Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd's iconic 'Jazz Samba' plus bonus album 'Big Band Bossa Nova' and 3 bonus tracks, includes 20-page booklet with new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer Brian Morton and by Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine.
A revelatory classic. Absolutely essential for any jazz collection. - Steve Huey, AllMusic
So this is a plea to listen to this music, rather than just putting it on and going about some other activity. Getz was a consummate soloist, but the band he had behind him - Byrd, Gene Byrd, Keter Betts, Bill Reichenbach, Buddy Depperschmidt - are also completely invested in this music. Its quality is unquestionable. - Penguin Guise To Jazz
