A hidden treasure from Verve's golden bossa nova era, this session pairs Stan Getz's luminous tenor saxophone with Gary McFarland's sophisticated arrangements. McFarland's masterful touch provides the perfect backdrop—spacious yet swinging—allowing Getz to shine while weaving Brazilian rhythms with the modern sensibilities that defined Verve's sound. McFarland's original compositions anchor the session, including "Bim Bom," "Melancólico," "Balanço No Samba," "Noite Triste," "Chega De Saudade," and "Manhã De Carnaval." Essential listening for bossa nova and jazz collectors.
Genre: Jazz and Latin
