QUINCY JONES BIG BAND BOSSA NOVA + 2 bonus tracks (Yellow Vinyl)
"Almost every track here is a small classic that you're bound to have heard somewhere, without realising what it was. "Manha de Carnaval", Luiz Bonfá's peerless melody, is another that surfaces constantly in movies and behind commercials. Likewise, Jobim's "One Note Samba", which varies the metre and changes the pace most effectively. Jones recognised that he had something that could change the metre and flavour of almost any piece. "On the Street Where You Live" loses its slightly plonking sentimentality and turns into a celebration of community. "A Taste of Honey" acquires a new and exotic quality."

Description
THE COMPLETE LP + BONUS TRACKS - LIMITED EDITION - 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL. Bossa nova was in vogue in 1962 and following the release of the Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd LP Jazz Samba, jazz record producers were anxious to get their signed artists to jump on the "jazz bossa nova" craze.
As Mercury Records' musical director at that time, Quincy Jones was his own producer and decided to take advantage of the opportunity with his Big Band Bossa Nova, which put together some Antonio Carlos Jobim classics, along with some original compositions, including the international hit single 'Soul Bossa Nova'. All wonderfully arranged by Jones and performed by his incredible all-star big band.
