Jazz Samba!

Jazz Samba! Nigel Price, guitar; Mark Crooks, tenor saxophone; John Cervantes, piano; Marianne Windham, bass; Demi Garcia, percussion.

Jazz Samba! takes its inspiration and name from Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd's ground-breaking 1962 album, the first fully fledged bossa-nova album to be recorded by American musicians. It topped the LP charts on its release and produced its own hit pop single - Desifinado. 

The band's performance is described as being exciting, intense and satisfying, conveying both joy and the authentic spirit of Latin jazz and bossa-nova.

'They love of the music and samba oozed from every note played and the final encore and applause reflected the joy given out by them to a very grateful audience' - Ronnie Scott's
