Big Band Bossa Nova - Yellow Vinyl (Vinyl)

QUINCY JONES BIG BAND BOSSA NOVA "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 it's slightly plonking sentimentality and turns into a celebration of community. "A Taste of Honey" acquires a new and exotic quality." Personnel: featuring Clark Terry (trumpet) Phil Woods (alto sax), Paul Gonsalves (tenor sax), Rahsaan Roland Kirk (Stritch, alto sax), Lalo Schifrin (piano), Jim Hall (guitar), Chris White (bass), Rudy Collins (drums), José Paula, Carlos "Bala" Gómez, Jack Del Río (percussion), Quincy Jones (conductor). Recorded in New York, August 13 & September 4-12, 1962.
