It has become standard practice today for the professional musician to play at least one Latin tune in each set for added interest and variety. This popular set contains ten beautiful and popular bossa novas that jazz players have enjoyed for years, played with a distinct jazz flair" that adds energy and excitement. Complete with melody, chords, and lyrics, as well as transposed parts for all instruments. These songs, with their crisp, clean, tropical flavor, always seem to find a way of warming up cold practice rooms on a cold day. For meditative and truly authentic Brazilian-styled Bossa Novas, see our play-along Volume 98: Antonio Carlos Jobim. Rhythm Section: Hal Galper (p); Steve Gilmore (b); Bill Goodwin (d). Titles: Girl from Ipanema * One Note Samba * Desafinado * Meditation * So Nice * Little Boat * How Insensitive * Wave * Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars * Once I Loved."
