Quincy Jones brilliantly capitalized on the exploding bossa nova trend by applying his incredibly tight, colorful big band orchestrations to authentic Brazilian rhythms. Driven by the indelible, slinky hit 'Soul Bossa Nova', the album brought a uniquely swaggering, jazz-lounge aesthetic to the genre.
