While the 1953 Bud Shank/ Laurindo Almeida recordings were the precursors of the Bossa nova-jazz fusion, the 1962 Stan Getz / Charlie Byrd LP included here, Jazz Samba, would start the Bossa nova craze. The album compiled here, which contains definitive instrumental versions of "Desafinado", "O Pato" and "One Note Samba", is now considered a true classic, and continues to bring pleasure to a variety of listeners.
