Free Music Notes for Jazz Samba Encore!
Free Music Review: A collection of romantic, relaxing, beautiful music
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD is a great addition to a Brazilian music collection. I have the three Gilberto compositions on some Gilberto CDs, but it's good to hear some different interpretations. The Bonfa compositions are great. Some of the arrangements and vocals have shades of Esquivel, giving it more of a "space age" feel than the Stan Getz-Gilberto collection. This CD is full of romantic, relaxing music, and is perfect for a party.Free Music Review: better than the first one
Hit: 5 Stars
the perfect samba album. exotic, evocative, lyrical. way prettier than the first jazz samba album and those female vocals...Free Music Review: The absolute Jazz Samba companion.
Hit: 5 Stars
Excellent follow-up to Jazz Samba. Stan uses different musicians and adds a vocalist and still produces incredible music. Some of the soaring vocals by Maria Toledo are absolutely haunting. I read somewhere that Louis Bonfa and Maria Toledo were later married. You can hear the subtext love story.Free Music Review: Jazz Samba Followup

Jazz Samba Encore is the best Getz Bossa Nova album to buy after you own "Getz/Gilberto" and "Jazz Samba". The is the Bossa Nova - Samba trio to own! "Jazz Samba" was one of the best selling Jazz albums of all time. This was an attempt by Norm Granz at Verve to pair Getz with more Brazilians to capitalize on that success, but is is no way a lesser accomplishment as an album.
Melodic. Mostly instrumental Samba, some vocals. Lyrical Getz sails, pours out beautiful notes, as usual. Contrast Singer Maria Toledo with Asrid Gilberto of the evergreen "Getz/Gilberto". Maria has a voice with a better dynamic range, and more expressive voice than the Astrud Gilberto. (Astrud, Joao Gilberto's wife, had no musical training before "Getz/ Gilberto" was recorded, but Getz insisted...)
Luis Bonfa, composer of "Manha de Carnivale" from movie "Black Orpheus" is among sidemen.
Acoustic is live and slightly echoey despite being played in a studio.
Favorite cuts include Minina Flor, Ebony Samba & Insensatez, but there's not a bad cut on the album. Sunny & upbeat. As much of Getz catalog disappears, (along with other Jazz greats) this album perseveres.
Stan Getz remains the anitdote to a world of stress.
Free Music Review: nice samba party

Great samba instrumentals, great Astrud flying to the moon, absolutely worth buying. Necessary listening to understand how the US discovered samba.
