Walter Wanderley

Walter Wanderley is a solo artist associated with Brazil whose catalog here spans 1966–2007. The artist is connected with Bossa Nova and Latin Jazz, so genre, period and individual recordings offer useful ways into the work.

Listen for how Bossa Nova and Latin Jazz shape rhythm, voice and arrangement. A starting path includes “Garota moderna (Modern Miss)”, “A Man and a Woman (Un homme et une femme)”, “A Different Beat”, “Cried, Cried (Chorou, Chorou)”. Then move to “Hammond Bossa From Brasil” and “Organ‐ized” to hear how recordings are organized in a release context.
