In the 1950s, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, C Byrd, Herbie Mann, Tony Bennett, Duke, Miles, Quincy Jones, and Stan Getz, sought new sources to enrich jazz. Jazz has this plastic capacity to incorporate national music while maintaining its roots. 

This was the case with Caribbean, Latin, African music, and Boa Nova, which was adapted to cool jazz.

Maestro Soberano has been recorded by every great musician on the planet, all the giants of jazz. Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Stan Getz have defined him as one of the greatest of all time! A follower of Debussy, Ravel, Villa Lobos, Pixinguinha, Caymmi, Noel, and Ary, he was called the Brazilian Gershwin by the greats of American jazz.
