Meirelles e Os Copa 5 chronology
Novo som (1965) Samba Jazz!! (2002) Esquema novo (2005)

Despite the long period between the last album, Novo som, and Samba Jazz!!, Meirelles tried to keep the same music conception he had when he was 20 years old. He tried to create simple songs, influenced by jazz, but at the same time which remind Brazilian music.^[1] In fact, this album evocates the samba-jazz rhythm exactly as in 1964, when Meirelles e Os Copa 5 recorded their first album, O som.^[2]
