Viva Bossa Nova!
Laurindo Almeida And The Bossa Nova All Stars

Terrific early 60s light/jazz pop Bossa Nova album!
Group member include: Howard Roberts and Al Viola – second guitar. Shelly Manne, Milt Holland and Chico Guerrero - percussion. Jimmy Rowles - electric organ, Bob Cooper - tenor sax, Don Fageruist - trumpet and Justin Gordon - flute.
