Enoch Light - Big Band Bossa Nova [CD]

Orchestra conductor Enoch Light produced a string of stereo percussion albums in the 1960s, most of which made the Top Ten best-selling charts including "Big Band Bossa Nova", an album of Bossa Nova numbers that peaked at #8 and remained in the charts for 33 weeks. In 1962 the bright, new Brazillian rhythm, the Bossa Nova, had just reached North American shores and this album was one of the first that started the craze. Included are the Jobim composed "Desafinado", "One Note Samba", and "Meditation". Digitally re- mastered in glorious stereo, it is appearing here for the first time on CD.
