LIMITED EDITION

INCLUDES 2 BONUS TRACK

180-GRAM ORANGE VINYL

CONTAINS NEW SPECIALLY PREPARED LINER NOTES BY PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ’s WRITER BRIAN MORTON AND BY PARIS' PRESTIGIOUS JAZZ MAGAZINE

"Because of “The Girl From Ipanema”, Getz/Gilberto usually gets the credit for launching the bossa nova craze in the US, but Jazz Samba was recorded a full year earlier and was no less successful, scoring a major hit itself with “Desafinado”, which in some ways even more accurately captures the enervated, languishing mood soundtracked by bossa." - Penguin Guide to Jazz

"While the connection between jazz and Brazilian music has become commonplace, it is important to note that this album inaugurated the fruitful meeting between jazz and bossa nova." - Jazz Magazine
