Description
Brian Molley Quintet and Laura Macdonald Quartet
Brian Molley Quintet recreate and reimagine one of the best selling jazz albums of all time, Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd’s Jazz Samba. Marking the height of the Bossa Nova craze, and featuring the Grammy winning Desafinado as well as Brazilian classics One Note Samba and Bahia, Jazz Samba rightly holds its place as a tour de force in Jazz and Brazilian Music, with both Getz and Byrd at the height of their powers.
Brian Molley Quintet, featuring Molley/tenor sax, Mario Caribe/guitar, Ross Milligan /guitar, Brodie Jarvie/double bass and Stuart Brown/drums, maintain a healthy respect for the original album whilst bringing to bear their own original interpretations of this genre defining music.
