Welcomed sleep yesterday and greeted today with Jazz Samba is a bossa nova album by Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd released by Verve Records in 1962. Jazz Samba signaled the beginning of the bossa nova craze in America. Stan Getz was the featured soloist and the tracks were arranged by Charlie Byrd, who had first heard bossa nova during a tour of Brazil in 1961.

Two songs, "Desafinado" (Off Key or Out of Tune) and "Samba de Uma Nota Só" (One Note Samba) were composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim and were released as singles in the U.S. and Europe. Charlie Byrd wrote one song, "Samba Dees Days", while the rest were by Brazilian composers.

#Bebop represented the key shift from popular music to #art from. Stan Getz was initially lambasted for #JazzSamba. #Bird too for recording with strings! #LeeKonitz, of all people, was accused of abandoning the ‘true path’! James Moody, arguably among the finest players of bebop with #Gillespie’s 1965 Quintet, totally hammed it up. Un derrated #JohnHandyIII too. My view is that Bird,Moody, Handy worked through appalling, humiliating civil rights abuses. So, #SoWhat
