Genre defining record of the Bossa Nova style, featuring AntĂ'nio Carlos Jobim on violin and jazz giants Hubert Laws on flute, Art Farmer on flugelhorn and Phil Woods on alto sax.
Released in 1966, The Swinger From Rio is perhaps the best example of a genre defining record, capturing pianist Sergio Mendes playing straight up Bossa Nova with a stellar line-up of seasoned musicians. The Swinger From Rio features jazz giants Hubert Laws on flute, Art Farmer on flugelhorn and Phil Woods on alto sax.
The album reserves a special guest spot for the famed AntĂ'nio Carlos Jobim on violin, whose writing credits include the Jazz standard "The Girl From Ipanema".
