Turma da Gafieira - Samba Em Hi-Fi (2022) [Hi-Res]

"Samba Em Hi-Fi" (stylized as SAMBA em HI-FI) is the second studio album by the Brazilian instrumental ensemble Turma da Gafieira, originally released in 1957. The group was a unique project for its time—a "supergroup" that brought together future legends of the Brazilian music scene. The recording featured virtuosos such as guitarist Baden Powell, accordionist Sivuca, renowned drummer Edison Machado, flutist Altamiro Carrilho, and trombonist Raul de Souza.

Musically, the album serves as a bridge between traditional dance samba (gafieira style, popular in Rio's dance halls) and the complex harmonies of jazz. Due to the musicianship involved, the record is considered one of the earliest and most significant examples of instrumental samba-jazz, anticipating the global Bossa Nova boom. The sound is characterized by its dynamism, intricate horn arrangements, and the distinctive swing that would later become a hallmark of Brazilian jazz.
