Bad! Bossa Nova

'Bad! Bossa Nova' is an album by saxophonist Gene Ammons recorded in 1962 and released on the Prestige label. It was also re-released as ''Jungle Soul! (Ca' Purange)''.

Reception
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".
