MY PRODUCER’S NOTES
Welcome to The Sounds of Brazil!
Stan Getz recorded five Bossa Nova albums in two years. First up was Jazz Samba with guitarist Charlie Byrd. It was recorded at The All Souls Unitarian Church in Washington DC on the afternoon of February 13, 1962.
Byrd had returned from Rio de Janeiro as part of a goodwill concert tour of Latin America with Brazil’s new sound percolating in his head.
Relocated to the US only recently after years of living in Europe, Getz was invited into the project but had little understanding of the music he was about to record.

Byrd had turned him on to the Bossa sound with a record by Joao Gilberto a few weeks prior. “I immediately fell in love with it… Charlie had been trying to sell a record of it with I don’t know how many companies, but none of ‘em wanted it. What they needed was the voice – the horn.”
And timing. The quick success of Jazz Samba ignited the Bossa Nova craze in the US and in 13 months, Getz went on to record four more Bossa Nova albums, cementing his status as Bossa Nova’s American icon.
If Jazz Samba is not in your collection, it should be. It turns 60 today,
Happy Listening,
Scott Adams
