Hello Jazz Friends!
We're getting ready for CLUB RIO! Our colorful throw beads are in, build-your-own mask-masking supplies (and ready-made ones for you non-DIY types!) and we just can't get enough of the nova that's bossa!
What IS a bossa nova anyway? "It comes from the Samba, but with more emphasis on harmony and melody," Debo Orlofsky of the New Mexico duo, Jazz Brasileiro.
Taken from their website,
Jazz Brasileiro is synonymous with Brazilian Jazz, playing both classic bossa nova and a wide range of contemporary Brazilian music. The collaboration between guitarist Tony Cesarano and vocalist Debo Orlofsky highlights exquisitely crafted guitar lines and gorgeously haunting melodies sung in Portuguese and English. The guitar/vocal duo adapts this purest form of bossa nova with singular arrangements and voicings.
Debo says, "Bossa nova makes me feel happy, relaxed, [reminiscent of ] nature, moonlit beaches under the stars."
Ahhhhh . . .
Always on the look-out for that fresh take on an old favorite, we found this recording by the late and great Amy Winehouse.
A new favorite is the Italian musician, composer, DJ, Nicola Conte. Brave, bold, NU Bossa with some Acid Jazz and the best sounds from Italian cinema all thrown in. Delicious:
We've definitely Bossa Nova-ed the afternoon away . . .
Hope you're having a great one!
