Albums First Released in 1962
Bossa nova spread beyond Brazil in 1962, while soul instrumentals and modern jazz found new audiences. Among the defining albums released in 1962 were Green Onions by Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Waltz for Debby by The Bill Evans Trio, Jazz Samba by Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd and Takin' Off by Herbie Hancock.
The year shows regional sounds becoming international. Memphis soul, Brazilian bossa nova and New York jazz could all sit in the same record collection, broadening what an LP buyer might encounter.

Our Pick of the Year: Green Onions by Booker T. & the M.G.'s
Green Onions helped define the spare, rhythmic sound of Stax Records. Booker T. Jones's Hammond organ carries the title track, while Steve Cropper, Lewie Steinberg and Al Jackson Jr. keep the arrangements tight and uncluttered. The album shows how a small instrumental group could make soul music that worked on radio, in clubs and across a full LP.
