Bossaesque: Modern Twists on the BossaNova Sound
Update: 2011-07-13
Description
There's a little Bossa Nova in all of us as evidenced in this set. While this is not Brazilian explicitly, hence the name "Bossaesque", all of the artists clearly have been influenced by that magical place in the construction of these songs. And it also shows the dexterity of bossa nova rhythms, its common instruments, and references. Basia, Cassandra Wilson, Beck, Platinum Pied Pipers, India.Arie, Quincy Jones, Arto Lindsay, Vinx, Everything But the Girl, and more give a wink-wink and a hip sway to songs who must have cousins in Bahia, Rio, Sao Paulo and everywhere in between.
