Damn!!!! RIP Joao

Loves me some Bossa Nova I like the fact that a lot of musicians dug that genre.

Here's a FZ instrumental Bossa Nova composition, pre Mothers, recorded in 1961. Not bad for a 21yr old

That is indeed sad news. My introduction to Bossa Nova music was his record with Stan Getz! Beautiful music! I think I’m going to put something of his on tonight in tribute!
