Not many artists have the chance to start a "craze," but this jazz tenor man did just that with these five bossa-nova LPs from the first half of the "60s. These were that rare combination of best sellers and artistic triumphs: Jazz Samba with Charlie Byrd, Big Band Bossa Nova, Jazz Samba Encore!, Getz/Gilberto and Stan Getz with Guest Artist Laurindo Almeida . Jazz stars from both Americas sparkle as you hear one of the defining hits of the "60s, The Girl from Ipanema , plus Desafinado; Corcovado; Samba Triste; Balanco No Samba; Once Again (Outra Vez) , and more much of it remastered for the first time in 20 years!
