Paul Desmond's Bossa Antigua is a notable jazz album recorded in 1964 and released in 1965 under the RCA Victor label. The album features Paul Desmond on alto saxophone, accompanied by guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Eugene Wright, and drummer Connie Kay. It showcases a blend of jazz with influences from the bossa nova genre, which had gained significant popularity in the United States during the early 1960s. The title Bossa Antigua is a clever play on words, contrasting "bossa nova" (meaning "new thing") with "antigua," which translates to "old thing" in English. This reflects Paul Desmond's approach to the genre,
