From the inside cover: Jazz with a "Spanish tinge" has existed from before Jelly Roll Morton up to and beyond Chano Pozo. The current accent of the "bossa nova," however, is unprecedented in terms of the numbers of listeners who have been drawn to this fusion of jazz and Latin idioms. Essentially, the "bossa nova" is an advanced, more subtle, more flowing samba with heightened syncopation and jazz-influence harmonies. The most effective stimulus to its American popularity so far had been the Stan Getz-Charlie Byrd Jazz Samba celebration (Verve V/V6-8432). Now, another distinctively lyrical and melodically resourceful instrumentalist, Bob Brookmeyer, has demonstrated viable and just plain enjoyable the "bossa nova." is.
