Jorge Ben - Big Ben Strikes Again [Clear]

Step into a sun-soaked samba-jazz groove with Big Ben Strikes Again, now dazzling on clear vinyl. This collectible pressing brings Jorge Ben’s early brilliance back into sharp focus.

Originally released in 1967 (as the U.S. reissue of Ben É Samba Bom), the album blends samba with lush orchestral jazz vibes—anchored by tracks like “Bicho Do Mato” and “Saida Do Porto” that dance effortlessly between warmth and rhythm. Ben’s voice, both rough-edged and soulful, shines through arrangements filled with brass and swing.

Pressed on crystal-clear vinyl, this edition elevates the experience—letting each string flourish and percussive snap glitter in the light. At just about 34 minutes and packed with ten tracks, it’s a perfect gateway into Jorge Ben’s organic grooves. A must-have for collectors and anyone craving vibrant Brazilian sounds.
