Well, yes and no. All the melodies are good swinger fare, but none of the others have the magic of the super-famous first track. Play it at your next dinner party; everyone will love "Soul Bossa Nova", then settle into conversation while the rest of the album fills the background. June 8, 2007

Very, very disappointing. One star, and only because of the arrangement of Serenata -- otherwise, 1/2. Go with Quarteto em Cy or Joao Donato, any of Tom Jobim's CDs are preferable -- maybe Gal Costa sings Jobim.

Sorry to say, this is a TERRIBLE album -- he was just trying to capitalize on a "thing" at the time..... disappointing. Period.

Most BossaNova is best when done by small groups -- BUT, if you insist on a big/larger bands, get Stan Getz's Big Band Bossa Nova CD. That's a terrific album. This flat-out STINKS (and I like most of Q's other work).

As a qualifier of sorts, I've been to Rio, am a former broadcaster and DO know music. February 3, 2007

rating: 4 Quotejust like the title saysQuote
this is Big Band Bossa Nova, when the Bossa Nova was a big craze, back in the early 60's, arranged and produced by the MASTER, Quincy Jones. Still sounds good today......... June 4, 2006

rating: 2 QuoteThis is awkward Samba played by a great Big BandQuote

Unfortunately percussion has completeley spoiled all tracks.
This is not Bossa Nova,not even Samba.

Sorry for a great project with great arrangements. February 18, 2006

I absolutely LOVE this CD! It always puts me in the happiest of moods. Funny thing is, I had no idea that it was originally from the early 60's! It sounds fantastic! April 7, 2005
