It was an urbane, sophisticated sound born not in the streets but on the beach, and in the cafes and apartments where he and his well-heeled friends hung out.Īccompanied by lucid, carefully researched notes, which place the emergence of bossa nova in the context of Brazil’s burgeoning modernity, the book and CD booklet admirably capture the atmosphere of the early 1960s, and relate the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Gilberto to architect Oscar Niemeyer’s audacious plans for Brazil’s new capital, Brasilia, and to the bold designs of Cesar Villela, whose striking album covers form the core of the illustrations in the book.
