About this Event

This Bossa Nova night will take you back to the legendary November 1962 Bossa Nova Concert at the prestgious Carnegie Hall in New York.

This what happened on that night....

"Bossa nova was largely unknown in popular music circles outside of Brazil—it wasn’t even particularly well known in its home country—when a lineup of Brazilian superstars teamed up with American saxophonist Stan Getz to roll the lilting fusion of Brazilian samba and West Coast “cool jazz” onto one of the biggest concert stages in the world. João Gilberto, Luiz Bonfá, and Sérgio Mendes were among the many performers who gathered that night on November 21, 1962, to shine the spotlight on bossa nova in New York and beyond.

In addition to presenting a new sound (literally—“bossa nova” means “new style” in Portuguese) to North America and the world, the concert also produced the Getz/Gilberto ensemble, which included Antônio Carlos Jobim from the night’s lineup, and whose 1964 debut recording took bossa nova to an even higher level of international recognition. (The now-ubiquitous song “The Girl from Ipanema,” which was featured on the album, was written by Jobim and popularized by Gilberto and Getz.)"
