Stan Getz Jazz Samba Encore! (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series)

Recorded in February and March of 1963 and released later that year, Jazz Samba Encore reunites Stan Getz with Luiz Bonf? & Maria Toledo in a more intimate setting than the landmark Jazz Samba, shaped by Bonf?'s darker harmonic palette, Toledo's distinctive vocal and percussive presence, and Getz's warm, unhurried lyricism. Blending Bonf?'s originals with works by Ant?nio Carlos Jobim, the album deepens the evolving dialog between Brazilian songcraft and American jazz phrasing, with Bonf?'s nylon-string guitar providing a subtle rhythmic and harmonic anchor and Toledo adding textural and emotional nuance. Featuring Jobim on several tracks, the session captures bossa nova's transition from global sensation to mature artistic exchange, resulting in one of Getz's most atmospheric and enduring Verve recordings. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
