Title: Laurindo Almeida And The Bossa Nova All Stars – It's A Bossa Nova World: International Hits In Jazz Samba Arrangements
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1963, Jazz, Bossa Nova, Los Angeles, California
Matrix #: ST-1946
Condition: EX
Cultural Facts:
Scene Ecology: Almeida was a key bridge between Brazilian guitar tradition and U.S. studio jazz—one of the first Brazilian artists to build a long, working career inside the American recording system.
Media Narrative: The early-60s bossa nova boom became a U.S. cultural fashion wave—part genuine musical exchange, part “cool” marketing tied to jet-age modernity.
Personal Struggle: Almeida later battled serious illness and died from complications of cancer in 1995 after decades of constant session work and touring.
