Stan Getz and Luiz Bonfa – Jazz Samba Encore!

A romantic bossa nova gem — acoustic elegance meets saxophone soul.

Released in 1963 as a follow-up to Jazz Samba, this sequel finds Stan Getz pairing with Brazilian guitar master Luiz Bonfa and vocalist Maria Toledo. Jazz Samba Encore! leans even more into Brazilian authenticity, with more acoustic textures and intimate arrangements.

Bonfa’s intricate guitar voicings create the perfect backdrop for Getz’s warm, breathy tone. Tracks like “Saudade Vem Correndo” and “Mania de Maria” glide effortlessly, full of soft rhythmic lilt and melodic charm. While less commercial than its predecessor, Encore! is a deeper, more personal bossa nova experience — a must for lovers of the genre.
