reviews:
Quincy Jones’s 1962 Brazilian jazz classic is back in print after many years, due no doubt to “Soul Bossa Nova”’s inclusion on the AUSTIN POWERS soundtrack. In addition to that show-stealer, BIG BAND BOSSA NOVA delivers Jones’s takes on several samba classics, including “Desifinado” and the timeless classic, “One Note Samba.” Jones teams up with Lalo Schiffrin on “Lalo Bossa Nova,” and even takes on Charles Mingus’s “Boogie Stop Shuffle.” “A Taste of Honey” and on “On the Street Where You Live” are where Jones’s talent for creative arranging really shines through.
Jones’s attention to detail adds a subtlety to these recordings which makes them stand out as among the 1960s’ best jazz records. BIG BAND BOSSA NOVA still holds its ground nearly some four decades later as a superlative recording.
Probably would not be called bossa nova today but it will put you in a happy mood.
I love this CD. It’s so reminiscent of the cocktail party music for those old movies from the late 50’s and 60’s with folks like Rock Hudson, Jack Lemmon, David Niven, Doris Day, Peter Sellers, Shirley MacLaine, etc. Bossa Nova was THE MAJOR COCKTAIL PARTY music for films like Casino Royale (It helped to make “The Look of Love,” as done by Sergio Mendes and Brazil ‘66 so popular). Bossa Nova was king then, and this is a fabulous feel good nostalgia recording. This CD makes me want to throw a cocktail party! This treatment of bossa nova fits in perfectly with the musical culture of those days gone by. It’s a time travel trip to the suburban set and penthouse parties in Manhattan. It’s soothing, calm, and simply . . . Quincy does Bossa Nova in the early 60’s. Got to go . . . it’s martini time.
Enjoy
