Bossa Nova
Originally one of the beats drummed out by the Brazilian samba schools at carnival time, the bossa nova has been refined into one of popular music's coolest sounds. This film features footage from two reunion concerts given in Rio de Janeiro last year by Joao Gilberto and Antonio Carlos
Jobim, the key founding figures, and traces the music in works by performers as varied as Miles Davis , Frank Sinatra , Bob Dylan and Sinead O'Connor. Director Walter Salles
Series editors Nigel Finch and Anthony Wall
