Although he was a new name to American Bossa Nova buffs in the 1960s, Walter Wanderley
had long been a household name in Brazil, where the whole Bossa Nova business started. The Saô Paulo organist first caught the public ear with his brilliant arrangements for his
good friend and compatriot, Joao Gilberto. The year was 1961. By 1962, Wanderley was a
headliner in his own right, launching a string of hits that included The Girl from Ipanema, Desafinado, and the high-flying Song of the Jet (which you'll hear in this album).

This album is pure gold!
