The Story
Big Band Bossa Nova, released in 1962, is one of Stan Getz’s most vibrant and inventive recordings. Building on the success of the bossa nova wave, Getz teamed up with arranger and composer Gary McFarland to create an album that expands the intimate charm of bossa nova into a bold, orchestral jazz setting.
The result is a dynamic, cinematic take on the genre that remains accessible, melodic, and rhythmically engaging. The Yellow Vinyl LP edition adds a visually striking element for collectors while preserving the crisp, uplifting sound that made the album a standout in Getz’s catalog.
Track list:
1: Manha De Carnaval
2: Balanco No Samba (Street Dance)
3: Melancólico
4: Entre Amigos (Sympathy Between Friends)
5: Chega De Saudade (No More Blues)
6: Noite Triste (Night Sadness)
7: Samba De Uma Nota Só (One Note Samba)
