By now I'm sure you've guessed that I have a sizable digital collection of rare bossa nova albums from the early 1960s. Collecting that period is one of my many obsessions. The years between 1962 and 1966 are exciting for the genre, especially albums recorded in Rio de Janeiro by Brazilian artists.
Included in my collection is the Bossa Nova Modern Quartet's Bossa Nova Jazz Samba. Released in 1964 on Brazil's Nilser label, the album featured Jorginho on tenor saxophone and flute, José Cláudio das Neves on vibes, Luiz Marinho on bass and Plinio on drums.
The tracks are Ed Lincoln's Bossa Nova Jazz Samba, Orlann Divo and Waltel Branco Brincando Gostei, Johnny Alf's Fim de Semana Em Eldorado, Lincoln's Sambette Nº 3, Luvercy Fiorini and Oscar Castro-Neves's Chora Tua Tristeza, Antonio Carlos Jobim's Corcovado, Jobim and Vinicius De Moraes's Garota de Ipanema, Lincoln's Do Jeito Que A Gente Quer, Orlann Divo and Roberto Jorge's Vira Lata and Walter Branco's Beduíno.
Here's the Bossa Nova Modern Quartet's Bossa Nova Jazz Samba. Put it on as background and enjoy free of ads...
