Album TWO. This album is with the Gary McFarland Orchestra released in October 1962 as Big Band Bossa Nova. Stan is joined with Doc Severinsen as one of the major personalities within the orchestra. One Note Samba is recreated in a different arrangement here from the first album. Kind of exciting, isn't it? Favorite cuts from this album, Bim Bom and One Note Samba. Hope you enjoy! The other three albums will be posted soon.

Stan Getz- The Girl From Ipanema, The Bossa Nova Years 1
Today, we dig into the jazz section. Not just jazz. BOSSA NOVA jazz! This is a box set released in 1984. I purchased it new at J&R Music World in NYC with great excitment in 1987. The box set contains five albums Getz recorded in popular 'latin flair' of the 60's. These albums were released betwen 1962 - 1964. The first one featured here is the ablum, "Jazz Samba' with guitarist, Charlie Byrd. The pop hit Desafinado hit #15 on the chart on 9/29/62. So grab a cocktail or two with some friends. This is great 'gathering' background music for any relaxing social occassion.
