Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd

Musical Group

A collaboration between American tenor saxophonist Stan Getz and American guitarist Charlie Byrd best known for the 1962 album Jazz Samba, which played a major role in popularizing bossa nova in the United States.

Jazz Samba (1962) brought Brazilian compositions like "Desafinado" and "Samba de Uma Nota Só" to U.S. audiences; Creed Taylor is credited in contemporary accounts with helping promote the American–Brazilian bossa nova crossover.

The available review celebrates Jazz Samba as a pivotal moment in the Bossa Nova season, highlighting Stan Getz's lyrical tenor and Charlie Byrd's guitar. The review places the album within the early-1960s American embrace of Brazilian music and praises tracks like "Samba Triste" and "Samba Dees Days." It credits figures such as Creed Taylor for the U.S. dissemination of the style.

For:Fans of jazz and bossa nova, and listeners interested in 1960s cross-cultural music exchanges.

Exciting. This is the right term to attribute to the protagonists, the stories, the music, and the cultural drives that enlivened the Bossa Nova season.
