    About this album

    Byrd Man With Strings presents Charlie Byrd’s refined approach to bossa nova and Latin jazz in a lush orchestral setting. Issued in 1969, this compilation draws on Byrd’s association with the Brazilian-tinged sound he helped popularise in American jazz, pairing his clean, understated guitar with string arrangements that soften and frame the melodies. Byrd’s playing is calm, articulate and rhythmically assured, giving standards such as Desafinado, Meditation and One Note Samba a graceful, supple swing. It is a polished showcase for one of jazz guitar’s most distinctive lyrical voices, and a strong example of how Byrd bridged cool jazz poise with Brazilian rhythm and songcraft.
