180 Gram Virgin Vinyl - Limited Edition. High-definition Premium Vinyl Pressing For Super Fidelity. Includes 2 Bonus Tracks. All of the tracks included here feature a splendid quintet fronted by Stan Getz and Bob Brookmeyer, accompanied by John Williams on piano. The quintet with Brookmeyer, Getz’s working band of the period, was booked to play at Zardi’s nightclub on Hollywood Boulevard during seven uninterrupted weeks in the summer of 1953.

Tenor saxophonist Getz and pianist Evans recorded the album in May 1964, with Rudy Van Gelder doing the engineering -- but Verve didn’t release it until 1973, subtitled Previously Unreleased Recordings.

Bossa Nova means ‘new wave’ or ‘new trend’, and this album rode that wave, making the `US album chart in the wake of the success of Jazz Samba (1962) and prior to the release of Getz/Gilberto (1964).
