From the Cover
In one of those fascinating twists that add to the magic of jazz, it was a mild-mannered, non-exotic, West Virginia-born wizard of (primarily) the acoustic guitar who spearheaded the early-Sixties onslaught of bossa nova on the music scene of this country. Charlie Byrd, fascinated by this Brazilian music while on a South American tour, became its most ardent advocate here. He first joined with Stan Getz for a trend-setting LP and then moved on to his own big hit—this Riverside album, highlighted by the best-selling, with-strings version of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Meditation".
