Charlie Byrd-Brazilian Byrd, Music Of Antonio Carlos Jobim (1965)

Charlie Byrd is one of the legendary jazz guitarists who, throughout his long career, explored countless styles ranging from bossa nova and Latin jazz to swing. In 1965, he conquered the charts and the hearts of millions around the world with one of his most emblematic works, "Brazilian Byrd", a collection of immortal songs by the Brazilian artist Antonio Carlos Jobim. Iconic tracks such as "Jazz 'n' Samba (Só Danço Samba)", "Corcovado", "Samba Do Avião (Jet Song)", "The Girl from Ipanema", and "Dindi" are beautifully framed by captivating arrangements courtesy of Tommy Newson. In all of them, the sound of jazz in the style of bossa nova and lounge music is brilliantly layered with a dreamy trumpet, Byrd's melodic guitar, and the accompaniment of a string, brass, and wind orchestra.
