| | STAN GETZ/CHARLIE BYRD / JAZZ SAMBA |
| | Jazz Samba is the album responsible for importing the Brazilian Bossa Nova craze to America in 1962. | | | On such songs as "Samba Triste" or "Bahia," he solos effervescently, in perfect union with the round, opulent saxophone sound of Stan Getz. | | | Getz was an inspired choice for this musical genre: his trademark grunts and pops and melodious high-note phrasings highlight his superb sense of dynamics, making this music-which sounded clumsy and peripatetic in other players' hands-relaxed and graceful. |

| | Smooth jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Earlier, Wes Montgomery made a number of instrumental recordings of familiar pop songs which were aimed as much at pop audiences as at jazz fans; these records are often cited as important early smooth jazz. | | | The construction of Smooth jazz as a radio format has its roots in the Beautiful music format, generally played in 15-minute sets (instrumentals bookending one or two vocal songs per set). | | | Others contend that "Smooth Jazz" can indeed be a viable subgenre, arguing that it is narrowminded to try to turn jazz into a kind of museum exhibit, and point out the continuing cross-pollination that has occurred between jazz and RandB over the course of a century. |

| | Jazz represented a break from Western musical traditions, where the composer wrote a piece of music on paper and the musicians then tried their best to play exactly what was in the score. | | | The music called Jazz was born sometime around 1895 in New Orleans. | | | The second wave of New Orleans Jazz musicians like Joe "King" Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton fromed small bands, that took the music of these older men and increased the complexity and dynamic of their music, as well as gaining greater commercial success. |
