Jazz Samba takes its inspiration and name from Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd’s ground-breaking 1962 album, the first ever fully-fledged bossa nova album recorded by American jazz musicians.  It topped the LP charts on its release and produced its own pop hit single, ‘Desafinado’.  This event is a  joyous celebration of the blending of Brazilian rhythms, jazz attitude and the majestic compositions of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Donato and Sergio Mendes.

“Their love of music and samba oozed from every note played” Ronnie Scotts
