If you like Ella, Duke, Count and Frank... you¹ ll love the music of Walter Wanderley Tony Bennett A popular artist on the Brazilian bossa nova scene from the end of the fifties, Walter Wanderley became an internationally renowned star through his collaborations with the singer Astrud Gilberto and her husband, João Gilberto.
He was discovered in Brazil by a touring Tony Bennett, who thought he¹d never heard organ music like it and recommended him to Creed Taylor at Verve. The timing was perfect; the unforgettable summer of 1966 bringing Wanderley a millionselling North American top thirty hit with his version of Marcos and Paulo Sérgio Valle s Samba de verao (Summer Samba). During 1966>1967, he recorded three notable albums; Rainforest , Cheganca and Astrud Gilberto s A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness .
Although Wanderley was compared in America with Jimmy Smith and Fats Waller, his sound on the organ was a world away; a distinctive, crisp, lightweight, staccato stuttering style, hugely appealing and immediately reminiscent of authentic Brazilian rhythmic and percussive impetus. Although what he intended was innovative, even revolutionary, it s playful, breezy, perhaps rather camp quality was responsible in part for him being resurrected posthumously in the 1990s as a leading purveyor of lounge music.
The World of Walter Wanderley is a large-scale compilation drawn from Wanderley¹s historic first Brazilian albums. This is the first re-issue of the album anywhere, in any format . Exports to Japan and to North America, by virtue of the sixties hit and because it was where Wanderley was re-discovered through his stylish Hammond B3 organ sound, during the early / midnineties lounge boom.
