Our Take

Prepare to be transported to a world where the sun shines a little brighter, the drinks are a little stronger, and the rhythms are a little smoother with Dave Brubeck Quartet's Bossa Nova U.S.A. This album is like a tropical vacation for your ears, with each track serving as a mini getaway to the sandy shores of Brazil.

From the moment the first notes of "Bossa Nova U.S.A." hit your ears, you'll feel yourself swaying to the infectious groove of the Bossa Nova beat. Brubeck's piano playing is as cool as a caipirinha on a hot summer day, effortlessly blending jazz and Latin influences to create a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

Tracks like "Coracao Sensivel" and "Curtain Time" showcase the Quartet's impeccable musicianship, with each member shining in their own right. Paul Desmond's smooth saxophone solos transport you to a dimly lit jazz club, while Joe Morello's drumming keeps your toes tapping along to the Bossa Nova rhythm.

But it's not all sunshine and cocktails on this album - tracks like "That Old Black Magic" and "Here Comes McBride" show the Quartet's versatility, with Brubeck's intricate arrangements giving a nod to their jazz roots.

Overall, Bossa Nova U.S.A. is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to add a touch of samba to their collection. So sit back, pour yourself a caipirinha, and let Dave Brubeck Quartet take you on a musical journey that will leave you feeling sun-kissed and groovy. Cheers to Bossa Nova U.S.A.!
