Performer: Walter Wanderley
Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Despite his Anglo-American-sounding moniker, the late organist/pianist Walter Wanderley came from Brazil, and was one of the leading lights of bossa nova during the 1960s. Wanderley transferred the unique rhythms of Brazil to his bright, stuttering approach to the organ, adding a substantial straight jazz influence as well. PURE BOSSA NOVA presents 14 tracks from his '60's heyday. This cross-section of Wanderley's music (recorded in both Brazil and America) maps out a zone where sultry rhythms and melodies, clever improvisation, and urbane hipster cool cheerfully collide.
