“It’s influence on jazz be lasting…” Quincy Jones said cautiously of bossa nova. Of course, Jones’s gift for rich orchestrations and bossa nova’s floating yet supple rhythms were bound to meet on record. And with Lalo Schifrin and Latin American percussionists (and Jim Hall on two tracks) success was guaranteed. Featured is the debut of the frequently sampled “Soul Bossa Nova”, now a favorite theme for the 1998 World Cup. Included is one previously unissued bonus track. A new, specially priced reissue series from Verve. Original cover art and liner notes. 96kHz, 24-bit digital mastering.
