Bossa nova
Jazz was suffering a commercial and artistic crisis due to the popularity of rock and roll. In 1961, Tony Bennett made a trip to Brazil with bassist Don Payne, and both became familiar with modern Brazilian popular music. Payne took numerous Brazilian records when he returned to United States; he then showed them to his friend and neighbor Stan Getz. Getz was excited about the sound of bossa nova and released two albums: "Jazz Samba" and "Big Band Bossa Nova", both in 1962. Bossa nova became so popular that the title "Big Band Bossa Nova" was used for three other 1962 albums: by Quincy Jones, Oscar Castro-Neves, and Enoch Light.
