Numbered, Limited Edition Clear Vinyl - Only 500 Copies!
Desafinado was originally released in 1962. 'Bossa Nova' is Rio de Janeiro slang for 'the new wrinkle.' Basically, it is a blend of Afro-Brazilian samba and Afro-American jazz. It wasn't until the late fifties that the jazz-inspired rhythmic freedom and melodic spontaneity which Brazilian musicians were applying to their native music began to attract the attention of visiting U.S. jazzmen.
Some of them, fascinated by what they had heard, began to play their versions of the bossa nova back home. Nothing could be more fitting than a union of this newest of jazz trends with one of the most durable of jazz masters: Coleman Hawkins. This release is a numbered limited edition of 500 copies pressed on clear vinyl.
"The simplified style of this album overall perfectly suited the amiable, good-natured, and laid-back Hawkins at a time when the world was somewhat in political turmoil regarding Caribbean nations and the role of South America in the emerging so-called Third World. He passed away seven years later, leaving a legacy as the most revered tenor saxophonist in jazz, and this very nice recording in his long discography, unique even unto itself." -Michael G.
