Big Band Bossa Nova is a 1962 album by saxophonist Stan Getz with the Gary McFarland Orchestra. The album was arranged and conducted by Gary McFarland and produced by Creed Taylor for Verve Records. This was Stan's second bossa nova album for Verve following Jazz Samba, his very successful collaboration with guitarist Charlie Byrd. The music was recorded at the CBS 30th Street Studio in New York City on August 27 and 28, 1962.
Fresh from the sudden success of Jazz Samba and "Desafinado," Stan Getz asked the 28-year-old, strikingly gifted Gary McFarland to arrange a bossa nova album for big band as a follow-up. Getz is always his debonair, wistful, freely-floating self, completely at home in the Brazilian idiom that he'd adopted only a few months before.

With hindsight, Big Band Bossa Nova, the follow-up to Jazz Samba, seems like a mistake, or at best a diversion. Desafinado" had yet to go clear and Getz and Creed Taylor-who produced all five albums in this box set-must have been wondering where to go next with the music. A big band, arranged and conducted by 28-year old wunderkind Gary McFarland, seemed like a good idea

Bossa Nova was the thing as the 60s got underway and Stan Getz’s ‘Big Band Bossa Nova’ is a superb example of the "new wave". Published on. August 27, 2018. Recording this album began on 27 August 1962 at Columbia 30th Street Studios in New York City, when the whole of side one of the original LP was laid down, the four tracks on side two were done the following day. Besides the wonderful tenor sax of Stan Getz, the piano playing of Hank Jones is particularly good while Jim Hall plays acoustic guitar in the Charlie Byrd role
