Still, it includes his best versions of his standards "Wave," "Corcovado," and "Vivo Sonhando" (all recorded in the '60s), along with representations of his later days in the '70s and '80s. Of the 14 tracks, only ten are from Jobim himself...

The Brazilian organist whose sound was more recognizable than any other organist, Walter Wanderley recorded often during the '60s for Verve labels, including his biggest hit, 1966's "Samba de Verão." That song and 13 others from 1964-1966 are included on the solid yet brief compilation Pure Bossa Nova. Aside from the hit, highlights appear with "Vivo Sonhando," "Berimbau," and "Song of the Jet (Sambo do Avião)." John Bush, Rovi

This book consists of twelve original piano pieces composed by the authors: six sambas and six bossas. The sambas themselves display a varied range of derived styles: samba-de-roda, sambão, partido alto, samba amaxixado, and also the “pure” samba, in two of the pieces. The pieces reflect the rich musical tradition of Brazil and serve as excellent solo piano pieces.
