Samba Azul
An evening of smooth jazz and lively samba beats
|
In the 1960s, while the cool, mellow sound of Bossa Nova was popular in Rio de Janeiro and spreading throughout the world, a new style of music began to appear. Often performed by the musicians who accompanied famous Bossa Nova singers, the movement was a reaction to the elegant simplicity of Bossa Nova. The music they created was more complex, with room for improvisation, inspired by the jazz sound coming out of America at the time. This style came to be known simply as “Samba Jazz”.
