ByClick the play button to listen
Fueled by the 1959 international release of the movie "Black Orpheus" and through reports from US jazz players returning from South American tours, the Brazilian music bossa nova (Portugese for "new trend" or "new wave") found its way into American jazz in the early 1960s, becoming a permanent part of the jazz fusion. Stan Getz, in particular, appreciated bossa nova as the interaction between cool jazz and samba and collaborated successfully with many of the pioneers of the new music, including Luis Bonfa, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto.Playlist
