Big Ben Strikes Again

Jorge Ben is one of the greatest living Brazilian musicians and songwriters. Big Ben Strikes Again, originally released in 1967 on Phillips, includes many of his early compositions. Backed by a big orchestra Ben's warm, emotional voice shines through a very swinging song programme. This is when Ben's unique samba style was successfully flirting with catchy jazz arrangements. The result is a fantastic album full of exquisite, danceable songs.
