Page "Jazz standard" Paragraph 14

In Brazil, a new style of music called bossa nova evolved in the late 1950s.

Based on the Brazilian samba as well as jazz, bossa nova was championed by João Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfá.

Gilberto and Stan Getz started a bossa nova craze in the United States with their 1963 album Getz / Gilberto.

Among the genre's songs that are now considered standards are Bonfá's " Manhã de Carnaval " ( 1959 ), Marcos Valle's " Summer Samba " ( 1966 ), and numerous Jobim's songs, including " Desafinado " ( 1959 ), " The Girl from Ipanema " ( 1962 ) and " Corcovado " ( 1962 ).

Later, composers such as Edu Lobo and Egberto Gismonti contributed a great deal to the Brazilian jazz repertoire, with tunes like " Casa Forte ", " Frevo Rasgado " and " Loro ".
