The album Bossa Nova (New Brazilian Jazz) embodies the finesse of bossa nova, enhanced by a touch of sophisticated jazz. Under the direction of Lalo Schifrin on piano and arrangements, talented musicians such as Leo Wright (alto saxophone, flute), Chris White (double bass), Rudy Collins (drums), as well as José Paulo and Jack Del Rio (percussions), bring a unique energy to the ensemble. Tracks like Boato (Bistro), with its delicate groove, or Chora Tua Tristeza and Poema Do Adeus, with their refined arrangements, perfectly illustrate this captivating fusion of Brazilian smoothness and jazz virtuosity.
