Day 19 - Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd - Jazz Samba (1962)


This album was fun to listen to. "Jazz Samba" is music for a lazy summer day. Listening to it you feel relaxed and happy at first, then you want to dance, then you go back to feeling relaxed again. I love listening to those kind of albums. Stan and Charlie play beautifully and the songs themselves are brilliant. Brazilian and exotic, and also American and jazzy. Perfect combination. Stan would go onto making his number 1 hit a few years later with João and Astrud Gilberto, "The Girl From Ipanema". 5/5.

Tracks I enjoyed the most: Desafinado, Samba Dees Days, O Pato & É Luxo Só.
