However, its popularity was cemented in the early 1960s starting with a goodwill tour of Brazil and other South American countries (1961) by American jazz musicians. Upon return, some of them (Charlie Byrd in particular) recorded Bossa Nova\/jazz albums, which with the help of Stan Getz and other musicians soon caught on with the public.  Another tour of South America was launched (1962) and more Bossa Nova albums followed, which increased its popularity.  The beautiful sound of Brazilian jazz is wonderfully captured here by Neal Alger and his quartet.  If you have any doubt as to the quality of the playing, listen to the first two songs which are brilliantly executed combining both the beauty of Brazilian music and stunning jazz improvisation. This is easy-to-listen-to music combined with a depth of improvisation that makes this outing special.  Making the event even more captivating is the guitarist’s use of an older tube guitar amplifier which on this recording is appropriately captured by a vintage tube microphone (Telefunken 251e).  This tape is a work of beauty.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PRODUCT-PART-NUMBER\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable as a Download Only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PRODUCT-PART-NUMBER\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/dsd256_badge_large.png?10940117313833204525\" width=\"90\" height=\"80\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"664\" height=\"60\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/Neal_Alger_Brazilian_Quartet_IPI.pdf?v=1587813160\" title=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/Greg_Ward_Organ_Quartet_IPI.pdf?692\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/download_liner_notes_735eceed-201e-4f62-b888-d1fed8b53db5_medium.jpg?3217511782796413000\" style=\"float: none;\" width=\"229\" height=\"65\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hdtt-samples.s3.amazonaws.com\/Neal+Alge+Brazilian+Quarte+Sample.flac\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/download_Sample_24_96_ce2d27c7-5f84-4e02-8a32-ac81bd7164a7_medium.jpg?1320818084609747374\" width=\"229\" height=\"65\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hdtt-samples.s3.amazonaws.com\/Davy%2BKnowles%2B-%2BStill%2BGot%2BWork%2BTo%2BDo+sample.flac\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlay Sample Tracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/hdtt-music-player.s3.amazonaws.com\/Neal+Alger+-++Brazilian+Quartet\/audioplayer.html\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"257\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e;\/iframe\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"International Phonograph, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"DSD256 Direct Stream Digital Download (Pure DSD)","offer_id":33461260648579,"sku":"HDTT10355","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\/352.8 DXD PCM Flac Digital Download","offer_id":33461260681347,"sku":"HDTT10354","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD128 Direct Stream Digital Download (Pure DSD)","offer_id":33461260714115,"sku":"HDTT10353","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD64 Direct Stream Digital Download (Pure DSD)","offer_id":33461260746883,"sku":"HDTT10352","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\/192 PCM Flac Digital Download","offer_id":33461260779651,"sku":"HDTT10351","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\/96 PCM Flac Digital Download","offer_id":33461260812419,"sku":"HDTT10350","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/products\/Neal-Alger-Brazilian-Quartet-Cover.png?v=1603540989","url":"https:\/\/www.highdeftapetransfers.ca\/ja\/products\/neal-alger-brazilian-quartet-december-2019-chicago-pure-dsd-ipi","provider":"High Definition Tape Transfers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
