Quincy Jones And His Orchestra - Big Band Bossa Nova (2014) [Hi-Res]

Quincy Jones's 1962 Brazilian jazz classic is back in print after many years, due no doubt to 'Soul Bossa Nova''s inclusion on the Austin Powers soundtrack. In addition to that show-stealer, „Big Band Bossa Nova“ delivers Jones's takes on several samba classics, including 'Desifinado' and the timeless classic, 'One Note Samba.'

Jones teams up with Lalo Schiffrin on 'Lalo Bossa Nova,' and even takes on Charles Mingus's 'Boogie Stop Shuffle.' 'A Taste of Honey' and on 'On the Street Where You Live' are where Jones's talent for creative arranging really shines through. Jones's attention to detail adds a subtlety to these recordings which makes them stand out as among the 1960s' best jazz records. „Big Band Bossa Nova“ still holds its ground nearly some four decades later as a superlative recording.

The album features flügelhornist Clark Terry, alto sax player Phil Woods, pianist Lalo Schifrin, with Jim Hall on guitar, and the brilliant Rahsaan Roland Kirk on 'Soul Bossa Nova'.
