Jazz saxophonists had a field day with the bossa nova inPicture 2 1962. The jazz-Brazilian folk experiments first undertaken by alto saxophonist Bud Shank and guitarist Laurindo Almeida in the early and late 1950s became a winning formula for jazz in the spring of 1962. With Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd's Jazz Samba LP racing up the charts, many established jazz saxophonists took a shot at the new beat with great success. In May 1962, alto saxophonist Leo Wright recorded No More Blues with Dizzy Gillespie. Coleman Hawkins and Gene Ammons 418HiOWpyeL recorded bossa albums in September. Ike Quebec was next in October followed by Cannonball Adderley in December. But among the finest jazz-bossa nova entries recorded in 1962 were a pair by Zoot Sims. Both have been virtually forgotten.

Sims' New Beat Bossa Nova: Samba Swings (Vol. 1) was recorded in August, just a week after the tenor saxophonist's appearance on Bill Evans Interplay date. New Beat Bossa Nova: Samba Swings (Vol. 2) was recorded three months later in Picture 3 November, shortly after Sims worked with Charles Mingus on the bassist's Town Hall Concert, 1962. Both of Sims' bossa nova albums were recorded for Colpix, a label started by Columbia Pictures-Screen Gems that by 1962 was recording Nina Simone and teen pop groups.

What makes Sims' bossa nova albums special are the breezy arrangements by Manny Albam and Al Cohn, the inclusion of Jim Hall [pictured] on lead guitar and, of Jim Hall course, Sims' spun-gold saxophone lines. On both albums, the arrangements feature two or more fluttering flutes on top with soft, surfy percussion on the bottom. Sims and Hall operate fluidly in the middle. Sims completely understood the new Brazilian genre and offered easy-going lines without too much push. There's nothing like hearing Sims romp playfully here with Hall's guitar and a team of flutes.

Volume 1 features eight Brazilian tunes, including Djalma Ferreira's Recado Bossa Nova and four by composer Carlos Lyra. Sims attacks each with leg-dangling ease. Unlike Getz, who tended to work his horn's upper register on bossa 12stereoLP2 120 recordings, hurling line after imaginative line like spears, Sims lingers on notes and swings the middle of the instrument, providing a slightly different flavor. The band on the first volume features Spencer Sinatra (flute), Ron Odrich (flute, clarinet), Phil Woods (clarinet, alto sax), Gene Quill (alto sax, clarinet), Zoot Sims (tenor sax), Jim Hall and Kenny Burrell (guitar), Art Davis (bass), Sol Gubin (drums) and Ted Sommer and Willie Rodriguez (percussion).

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ANONYMOUS ONLINE REVIEW)

THE WHITE LABEL PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed to the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals": the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial  and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(c)             The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)            White Promo Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 50:1.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER):

THE COVER IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+(+)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        A visible water stain affects the area about 1/2 inch wide along the top seam and spine  (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY) ; there is no structural damage to the cover, and both cardboard base and paper slick are intact, however, the stain is visible

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 4   (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY)

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine  (nothing significant)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
