This is the album that launched the samba craze in the United States in the early 1960s and thus was responsible for the bossa nova appearing in any movie scene that required an atmosphere of fun and cocktails. Not that one should blame either Stan Getz or Charlie Byrd for the appearance of lazy directors or indeed lazy musicians who took up the craze. For Jazz Samba rollocks along with Getz's tenor and Byrd's guitar and if it in truth isn't exactly Latin music then, frankly, who cares? It swings. It includes "Desafinado", which in a shortened form was a big hit at the time, but was improved upon a year later when Getz recruited an unknown singer called Astrud Gilberto to record "A Girl From Ipanema" (available on Getz/Gilberto). That was in the then future, in 1963 Jazz Samba shuffled along into a nation's hearts and their dancing shoes. --Phil Brett
