Where other records went for hushed intimacy, he went for colour, wit and punch, mixing Jobim favourites with sharp originals and arranging the lot with a showman's flair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoul Bossa Nova is the headline act, a gleefully strutting tune powered by Roland Kirk's flute that later found a second life as the theme to the Austin Powers films. Chega de Saudade (No More Blues) shows how gracefully Jones could make a full orchestra whisper, while Lalo Schifrin, who sits at the piano, contributes the slinky Lalo Bossa Nova. The extra cut, A Taste of Honey, slots in neatly at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than sixty years on, it still sounds like the coolest party in town, all swaying percussion, grinning horns and a sly sense of humour, and a reminder of just how early Quincy Jones was thinking in widescreen, years before his studio wizardry made him a household name.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67761810014498,"sku":"8435723701026","price":11.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Quincy_Jones-Big_Band_Bossa_Nova_Spain_Import.jpg?v=1794309607","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/quincy-jones-big-band-bossa-nova-spain-import","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
