Bud Shank & Clare Fischer - Bossa Nova Jazz Samba (1962)

Here we go now on the international Bossa Nova post of the day, obviously, gently provided by Caetano Rodrigues, the Great. This one brings wonderful artists, Bud Shank (sax) with a great identification with Brazilian music and Bossa Nova and Clare Fischer (piano), that has a particular meaning to zecalouro, Clare Fischer and his record Clare Fischer Plays Antonio Carlos Jobim and Clare Fischer - So Danco Samba was one of the first Caetano Rodrigues contribution, the start of the "international Bossa Nova" releases at Loronix.

This is Bud Shank and Clare Fischer - Bossa Nova Jazz Samba (1962), for Pacific Jazz, a nice blend of West Cost Jazz, Bossa Nova and Samba rhythms. It is amazing that this album is out of print.
