Jazz saxophonists had a field day with the bossa nova inPicture 2 1962. The jazz-Brazilian folk experiments first undertaken by alto saxophonist Bud Shank and guitarist Laurindo Almeida in the early and late 1950s became a winning formula for jazz in the spring of 1962. With Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd's Jazz Samba LP racing up the charts, many established jazz saxophonists took a shot at the new beat with great success. In May 1962, alto saxophonist Leo Wright recorded No More Blues with Dizzy Gillespie. Coleman Hawkins and Gene Ammons 418HiOWpyeL recorded bossa albums in September. Ike Quebec was next in October followed by Cannonball Adderley in December. But among the finest jazz-bossa nova entries recorded in 1962 were a pair by Zoot Sims. Both have been virtually forgotten.

Sims' New Beat Bossa Nova: Samba Swings (Vol. 1) was recorded in August, just a week after the tenor saxophonist's appearance on Bill Evans Interplay date. New Beat Bossa Nova: Samba Swings (Vol. 2) was recorded three months later in Picture 3 November, shortly after Sims worked with Charles Mingus on the bassist's Town Hall Concert, 1962. Both of Sims' bossa nova albums were recorded for Colpix, a label started by Columbia Pictures-Screen Gems that by 1962 was recording Nina Simone and teen pop groups.

What makes Sims' bossa nova albums special are the breezy arrangements by Manny Albam and Al Cohn, the inclusion of Jim Hall [pictured] on lead guitar and, of Jim Hall course, Sims' spun-gold saxophone lines. On both albums, the arrangements feature two or more fluttering flutes on top with soft, surfy percussion on the bottom. Sims and Hall operate fluidly in the middle. Sims completely understood the new Brazilian genre and offered easy-going lines without too much push. There's nothing like hearing Sims romp playfully here with Hall's guitar and a team of flutes.

Volume 1 features eight Brazilian tunes, including Djalma Ferreira's Recado Bossa Nova and four by composer Carlos Lyra. Sims attacks each with leg-dangling ease. Unlike Getz, who tended to work his horn's upper register on bossa 12stereoLP2 120 recordings, hurling line after imaginative line like spears, Sims lingers on notes and swings the middle of the instrument, providing a slightly different flavor. The band on the first volume features Spencer Sinatra (flute), Ron Odrich (flute, clarinet), Phil Woods (clarinet, alto sax), Gene Quill (alto sax, clarinet), Zoot Sims (tenor sax), Jim Hall and Kenny Burrell (guitar), Art Davis (bass), Sol Gubin (drums) and Ted Sommer and Willie Rodriguez (percussion).

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(c)             The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2.

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging  (nothing significant).

-         Cover has some small writing on its back side (a small filing code written in one corner) (less than 1/2 square inch in size)

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine

-         Cover has two corners slightly worn / dinged  / bent.(nothing significant)

-         Cover has some fraying/wear along the upper seam

-         Cover has a partially split top seam (between 2 and 4 inches  / 5 to 10 centimeters)

-         Front cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record),  probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

-        No cut-out (drill) holes.

-        No cut-out corners

-        No saw-marks or indents

-        No yellowing from aging

-        No stamps

-        No peel-off marks

-        No stains

-        No mold or mildew spots

-        No stickers or labels

-        No water damage

-        No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or  cuts.

-        No warping

-        No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover

-        No glue traces or wax residue.

-        No bar codes

-        No RIAA stamps or stickers.
