Quincy Jones - Big Band Bossa Nova

Jones' gift for rich orchestrations and Bossa Nova's floating yet supple rhythms were bound to meet on record. And with Lalo Schifrin and Latin American percussionists (and Jim Hall on 2 tracks), success was guaranteed. Featured here is the CD debut of the frequently sampled "Soul Bossa Nova," now a favorite theme for the 1998 World Cup. This Verve By Request title also boasts 1 previously unissued bonus track ("A Taste of Honey)."
