Amazon.com essential recording

Guitarist Charlie Byrd was invited to travel and play in Brazil during a cultural goodwill tour sponsored by the Kennedy administration in 1961. He was completely enamoured by the music, and when he returned, he headed straight for the recording studio to make the now classic Jazz Samba. Collaborating with Stan Getz on tenor sax and backed by a band that included Gene Byrd (bass, guitar), Keter Betts (bass), and Buddy Deppenschmidt and Bill Reichenbach (drums), Byrd forged a new and brilliant sound. American record companies were to churn out hundreds of watered bossa-pop albums that have since given the style its lounge-addled image, but this album stands as a tribute to the vitality and adaptability of jazz. --Louis Gibson

Bossa nova music that dips, swings, boasts fine harmonic structures--and an infectious rhythmic pulse !!!.......2007-06-19

Bossa nova music was created largely by Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto in the late 1950s and early 1960s. When Charlie Byrd and his trio heard it, they wanted to make a bossa nova album of their own. The result is this wonderful CD.

The CD track set opens with an extended version of "Desafinado." The guitar gets plenty of air time in bossa nova music; and Charlie Byrd's guitar solo stuns me with its beauty and sensitivity. "Desafinado" plays with a few key changes to enhance the quality of the number; and the percussion works very well, too.

"Samba Dees Days" picks up the tempo considerably; and this ought to brighten any party you play this at! Stan Getz plays tenor sax to perfection; and Buddy Deppenschmidt along with Bill Reichenbach play the drums very, very well. "Samba Triste" is the only truly mournful sounding samba on this album; the minor keys work very well as Stan's melancholy solo enhances the forlorn flavor to "Samba Triste."

"Samba De Uma Nota Só (One Note Samba)" exudes elegance and style; when you listen to this track the fusion of jazz and samba is very evident. "E Luxo Só" reverts to a faster tempo that really makes you want to get up and dance wherever you are; and "Bahia (Baía)" concludes the album with a silky elegance that is singularly beautiful.

There is one extra number. The bonus track is the 45 rpm issue of "Desafinado." Naturally, the shorter version of this number doesn't provide us with the luxurious meanderings of the full length track. Nevertheless, it interests the listener to hear what the band chose to include--and exclude--when, under time constraints, they had to deliver the number fast yet with all the brightness of the full rendition. You won't be disappointed.

The liner notes include the original liner notes by Dom Cerulli; and there are great black and white photos of the band members playing. John Litweiler contributes an informative essay about the creation of the album as well. The quality of the sound is excellent.

I highly recommend this CD for any fan of bossa nova music; and people who enjoy jazz with a samba twist will cherish this one for ages to come.

Old School.......2007-01-17

This CD was all I expected and more. It was soothing without being muzac, and there was plenty of latin for spice. I was raised with the old school style of jazz and this really fit the bill!

I'd give it 6 stars if I could!!!.......2006-09-16

Stan Getz is in this sax player's opinion the best jazz saxophone player that has ever been recorded. His sense of melody is superb. He hides his amazing technical prowess, makes it sound effortless, and never gets in the way of the melody. Nobody else even came close to his melodic improvisations.

I've worn out a few Jazz Samba LPs and now own it on CD. It's a timeless classic. It has perhaps the definitive version of "One Note Samba" on it. "Desifinado" "Bahia", "O Pato" also shine very brightly. In fact, there are no tracks on this CD that are less than superb.

Stan played a lot of different jazz styles, from Cool School to Post Bop to Bossa Nova. And although he is not from Brasil, Antonio Carlos Jobim wrote a Bossa tune honoring him because his "voice" fit the mood so perfectly. Of all the things Stan did a good job on, Bossa was perhaps his forte. And this album along with "Jazz Samba Encore" are two of his best Bossa albums ever.

I'd give it 6 stars in a 1 to 5 star rating system. It's a "desert island" disk.

Nostalgic; great memories, so easy to appreciate.......2006-08-12

A must piece of work in the latin genre to include in your collection; I've heard bits and pieces of these tracks throughout my life; it's about time I added all of them to my collection.

Contrary to Mr. Gibson's jottings........2006-06-03

According to information readily available in the CD booklet, Jazz Samba was "Recorded in Pierce Hall, All Souls Unitarian Church, Washington, D.C., February 13, 1962." Not in a studio! That accounts for the warmth of the recording. It remains the standard against which all else is measured.

I Return Again and Again.......2004-01-15

I've listened to this CD at least 200 times. It's one of those that can play in the background or one that I sit and consciously listen to--and each time I hear some little twist and tweak I hadn't heard before.

I have quite a few Getz CDs but this one is probably my favorite.

great getz.......2003-12-12

You cannot miss this, you'll find Getz at his best. Even after repeated listening every time I find something new. I'm particularly fond of this cd as it made me discover Getz..

The opening of the Bossa Nova floodgates.......2002-06-18

You will hear Stan Getz's name often in the same sentence with many of the great jazz musicians of the 20th Century. Miles. Thelonious. Fitzgerald. Getz's music work spans more than six decades, most notably highlighted by his contribution to bringing the Brazilian sounds of bossa nova jazz to the United States in the early 1960s.

This compilation album is an excellent introduction to Getz's bossa nova sound and pays tribute to the tragically flawed Getz. The liner notes include the recording dates and location for each song; all of them were made between 1963 and 1967. Included are live versions of "Summertime", "One-Note Samba", "Here's That Rainy Day", and "The Girl from Impanema". If Dave Brubek has come to be identified by "Take Five", Getz's "Impanema" has come to soley define this tenor saxophonist in a classic and timeless manner which ranks as one of the most identifiable pieces of jazz music ever made, rivaled only by "Desfinado" as perhaps the defacto standard of the beautiful mannerisms of bossa nova jazz.

The liner notes also detail that "nine of the 12 tracks helped launch - and have sustained - bossa nova, gentle sambas with imperishable melodies and poetic lyrics, sometimes tinged with melancholy." The album features the following artists: Astrud Gilberto, Joao Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Charlie Byrd, Luiz Bonfa, Laurindo Almeida, Gary Burton, and Chick Corea. A well compiled summary of Getz, this album introduces the listener to Brazil's bossa nova sound quite elegantly. Interested in jazz but not sure where to start? Look no further as this lynchpin will get your collection off on the right foot.

a delightful introduction to stan getz.......2000-03-16

This was the first Stan Getz CD I ever heard,and it was a great intro. Perfectly relaxing and interesting at the same time, Getz is like no other. they seem to focus on the Samba years here, making Compact Jazz a superb collection and great starting point.

A must have for any Jazz collection........2000-01-01

This is a great album that both jazz fans and not so jazz fans can appreciate. The smooth sax of Stan Getz ranges from soothing on the opening track, to stacatto and aggressive later on, yet keeping his signature sound throughout. There are a few vocal tracks which are great as well. This album has a few live tracks on it, but is recorded excellently throughout. Even some of my friends which aren't into Jazz comment on the great music when I pop it in. One of my favorites CD's when I'm in a mellow mood and just want some good background music.

Romulus, meet Remus.......2002-06-05

Two of the best cool jazz men working together with more chemistry than the sum of the periodic table. Great tunes and absulutely masterful improvisational efforts with theme and variations, counterpoint and more cool than an arctic meat locker. The guys trade horns midway through the recording, and their innate musical brilliance and versatility defy description. On my deserted island must have short list.

Close encounters of the best kind.......2000-11-23

While not the best collaboration from Norman Granz' 1950's pairings of giants from his Verve label stable (see Gerry Mulligan meets Ben Webster for that honor), this one shouldn't be overlooked and presents yet another chapter in both Mulligan's and Getz' storied careers. Cut in 1957 this session features the "two brothers" (well, OK maybe not....) dueling over 6 tunes from the original LP plus two bonus tracks. The session swings and the first class rhythm section of Levy, Levey and Brown keeps things fluid, but there's not a whole lot of chemistry between the two saxists. They more or lesst go through the motions buy hey, for these two "the motions" are still superb. Not the best, but well worth the price of admission.
