Bad! Bossa Nova is an album by saxophonist Gene Ammons recorded in 1962 and released on the Prestige label.[2] It was also re-released as Jungle Soul! (Ca' Purange).

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "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".[1]
