Quincy Jones "Soul Bossa Nova"

While on the topic of bossa nova, I stumbled onto "Soul Bossa Nova," a song by Quincy Jones in 1962. The song features hard bop jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk who is renown for playing multiple instruments at the same time. You might recognize this song as the theme song to the Austin Powers movies. It's amazing to see how much impact the genre had in America and in the entertainment industry.
