| | Charlie Byrd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the early 1960's he was on a State Department tour in South America where he was introduced to a new music, the bossa nova, which was the musical passion of Brazil beginning in the late 50's. | | | A short time later Getz called Byrd in D.C. and suggested the idea that they collaborate on a bossa nova album. | | | He is perhaps most well known as a collaborator with Stan Getz on the Jazz Samba album, which featured many themes of bossa nova, and of course, samba. |

| | Review - Charlie Byrd: Byrd Song - Charlie Byrd With Voices |
| | Charlie Byrd has always been one of the best jazz guitarists around, and his world class acoustic guitar technique was a perfect blend of classical and jazz styles. | | | Byrd Song evokes mixed emotions in me. Recorded in 1965 and just remastered this year, it highlights the great Charlie Byrd on acoustic guitar along with Keter Betts on bass and Bill Reichenbach on drums. | | | The music of Byrd and his trio is evocative and elegant. |

| | Byrd / Not A Byrd |
| | Byrd made number one with his third single, "Holdin' Heaven," and has released a number of succesful albums and singles since. | | | In the '70s, Byrd recorded a number of jazz fusion albums with a group of his students who were billed as The Blackbyrds. | | | Joe Byrd was a student of "serious" music who dropped out of UCLA in the mid-'60s to organize "happenings." With the Field Hippies, he released The American Metaphysical Circus (Columbia, 1969), an album that fused rock with experimental electronic music. |

| | Charlie Byrd Byrd Song |
| | On Byrd Song (recorded in 1965) he embellishes his guitar- bass-drums format with a choir that sings vocalese licks (a la Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross) in response to the melodies of the trio. | | | Byrd Song is a peculiar album, even from a man whose career was always hard to pigeonhole. | | | For Charlie Byrd fans this album, long out of print, will not become a favorite, but will prove to be an intriguing listen and a good purchase. |

| | These quiet songs, with her airy, pleasant vocals, backed only by Byrd's guitar, make for great listening. | | | Though there are really no bad cuts on the album, the content is so diverse -- acoustic trios, electric guitar with brass, and acoustic guitar with vocals -- that the album doesn't flow as a whole. | | | "Byrd's Word" opens the album, with a big brassy sound, complete with Byrd cutting loose on electric guitar. |

His 1962 album "Jazz Samba," with saxophonist Stan Getz, is credited with introducing the bossa nova movement to America. | | | A master of diverse musical styles, Byrd never blended them. |

| | Charlie Byrd (Brazilian Music & Jazz) |
| | American record companies were to churn out hundreds of watered bossa-pop albums that have since given the style its lounge-addled image, but this album stands as a tribute to the vitality and adaptability of jazz. | | | Byrd had been among the first American musicians, along with Jim Hall and Kenny Dorham, to encounter the Brazilian beat, and there's a sure grasp of the idiom, particularly well suited to his classical guitar. | | | The string and big band settings are tasteful and unobtrusive, a pleasant backdrop for the essential dialogue between Byrd's guitar and Jobim's songs. |

| | Although a fine guitarist with his own distinctive style, it is not slighting Byrd to observe that he retained echoes of both Segovia's and Reinhardt's styles. | | | Blessed with a keen ear for melody and the tight technical rigor of a student of Segovia, Byrd meshed jazz improvisation with understated classical touches; it is not clear whether he is responsible for American bossa nova's trademark sound or the other way around. | | | In some ways, Byrd was ideally suited to be one of the foremost ambassadors for Brazilian music. |

Throughout the album, Byrd demonstrates an affinity for--and ability with--swing that was always present in his music but often overlooked as he made his own pioneering moves in bossa nova and classical/jazz fusion. |

| | Brazil remains Byrd's most haunting musical destination as he and his cohorts evoked a mad samba-in-the-streets feeling on "Samba de Orpheus," lingered lovingly over "Triste," and turned "Wave" into a one-chord voodoo incantation. | | | A conventional clubwould have been too noisy and distracting; a concert hall would have swallowed up the delicate if amplified acoustic guitar. | | | Byrd was one of the first to put bossa nova on the map in the early 1960s, actually cracking the top 20 with "Desafinado" in league with Stan Getz. |
