Bad! Bossa Nova is an album by saxophonist Gene Ammons recorded in 1962 and released on the Prestige label.[3] It was also re-released as Jungle Soul! (Ca' Purange).
Reception
[edit]The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated" "This was Ammons' final recording before 'being made an example of' and getting a lengthy jail sentence for possession of heroin; his next record would be cut over seven years later... The music is offbeat if not all that memorable, a decent effort but not essential".[1]
