The Bossa Nova.

The traditional Brazilian 'Samba' with a western twist.

In the early 1960's, Stan Getz released an album, 'Jazz Samba" (a must have) featuring the vocal talents of Joao and Astrud Gilberto. And the bossa nova became all the rage. Lots of touring ensued - as well as a romance between Getz and Astrud Gilberto that ended the Gilberto marriage. Ah, love.

But their music lives on...this is music for chilling...way down low.

If it doesn't strike you right off, give it a while. You'll see...

Enjoy
