2025 reissue - 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 program. 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.
