Stan Getz & Luiz Bonfa - Jazz Samba Encore! (Acoustic Sounds / Verve)

A jewel of the bossa nova wave, Jazz Samba Encore! reunites tenor saxophone master Stan Getz with guitarist-composer Luiz Bonfá for a follow-up worthy of the original Jazz Samba phenomenon. Released in 1963 on Verve, this lush, irresistibly melodic set deepens the partnership between American jazz sophistication and Brazilian lyricism.

Joined by Antônio Carlos Jobim and vocalist Maria Toledo, Bonfá's wife, Getz and Bonfá craft an intimate, slow-burning collection of Brazilian standards and fresh compositions. Tracks such as "Sambalero" and "Insensatez" radiate with warm, understated grooves — the kind of spacious, sunlit arrangements that helped make bossa nova a global sensation.
