The Bossa Nova style was born in Brazil in the late 1950s. As many American jazz stars toured South America during those years, bossa slowly became known in the United States. However, in early 1962 Stan Getz recorded a couple of albums combining bossa with jazz that unexpectedly became top- sellers. As a result, a bossa nova craze developed and nearly every jazz star recorded his/her own bossa nova album, or at least included a couple of bossas in their LPs or concerts. This series contains complete albums from the golden age age of bossa nova-jazz , including two 1953 precursors by tenor saxophonist Bud Shank and Brazilian guitarist Laurindo Almeida, as well as brilliant works in the genre by such stars as Stan Getz, Quincy Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Brubeck, Zoot Sims, and Coleman Hawkins, among others, and the landmark early recordings by Joâo Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim which introduced Bossa Nova to the world.,,
