The First Case of the Bossa Bloom
I don't play a lot of Bossa Nova on the show... I suppose it's because it trends so close to jazz styles that crossed over to the US; and because, of all the music I play, Bossa Nova participates the least with African influenced drumming.
But I like the Bossa Nova! Long time listeners know I have a sweet spot for jazz...
Today we are indulging some grooovy Bossa tunes in the first hour, trending up to some fun and funky Brazilian MPB in the second hour. I'll kick it off with the straightest jazz sounds of today's show... this is a small combo Bossa charm offensive. In the second set today we move to the lounge, hearing the Bossa groove transposed to organ driven combos. We close the first hour with a demonstration of that unique quality of Bossa Nova: the "cool."
The second hour follows the cool with some artsy Brazilian sounds, all following the jazz mode of the first hour. As we progress to the end of the show we get funkier, introducing some relaxed beach jams and some carioca showtunes.
