Comment:

The moment anyone mentions the phrase boss nova, our minds make the leap to a warm night in Rio de Janeiro, where there’s little else to do except sip agua de coco from a freshly lopped nut, and make love. But there’s more to the genre than those balmy pleasures. How about the bossa meets the doo-wop of vintage Cuban group Los Zafiros? Check out “Bossa Cubana” and you’ll end up with the best of Rio and Havana, which is like having your cake and eating it. Jazz fusion genius Chick Corea borrows the genre and sends it in quite incredible directions on “Bossa,” from 1968’s hugely influential work Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. Cibelle, meanwhile, keeps it sultry with “Esplendor.”
