Bossa Nova Soul Samba is an album by American saxophonist Ike Quebec recorded in 1962 and released on the Blue Note label.^[1] It was Quebec's final recording before his death in January 1963.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states, "Quebec emphasizes warm, long tones (reminiscent of Coleman Hawkins in a romantic fashion), and his sidemen play light and appealing but nonetheless authoritative bossa rhythms."^[2]
