Ramsey Lewis
Bossa Nova
Honey Pie 078 import re-issue LP

Reissue, originally released on Argo Records in 1962. At the very beginning of the sixties, almost every American jazz musician in the business had to somehow express his attraction for the exotic yet challenging Brazilian sound of the day. This is the album that shows Ramsey Lewiss trio embracing the light and infectious groove of bossa nova, a genre and a style in which Lewiss pop sensibility fits perfectly. The trio, here and there augmented by Brazilian guests, shines throughout a well-chosen tracklist of songs from the likes of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonf plus a bunch of originals in the same vein.

Songs are:
Samba de Orpheus
Maha de Carnaval (The Morning of the Carnaval)
As Criancinhas (The Children)
A Noite Do Meu Bem (The Night of My Love)
O Pato (The Duck)
Generiques (Happiness)
Roda Moinho (Whirlpool)
Cara de Palhaco (The Face of the Clown)
Carnacao Para Geralda (A Song for Geraldine)
