Bossa nova is neither jazz nor blues. It's Brazilian music adapted to jazz, with jazz chords, harmony, and arrangements by Stan Getz, Herbie Mann, C. Byrd, and Dizzy Gilespie.

It was the era of cool jazz fusion, jazz bebop.

This Brazilian music was born from the blend of African music with European rhythms, such as the Portuguese moda, the German Scottie, the Polish mazurka, the Polish waltz, and the Austrian polka. This music gave rise to choro and samba, which evolved from samba maxixe to carnival samba and romantic samba, or samba canção.

Jazz has this artistic ability to incorporate national music from each country, such as Caribbean, Latin, and African music, and return to its roots.

 Tenório Jr. was a famous pianist from the 60s and 70s, during the Bossa Nova and cool jazz era. When he toured Argentina for shows, he was mistaken for a terrorist and taken to the feared Navy Mechanics School commanded by Admiral Emílio Massera. He was seen in the courtyard and then disappeared. His remains were found last week in a vacant lot in Buenos Aires. He was friends with famous musicians such as Tom Jobim, Elis Regina and Vinícius de Moraes, and they all asked the Argentine authorities for information about his whereabouts since the time of the military regime.

 Na década de 1950, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, C Byrd, Herbie Mann, Tony Bennett, Quincy Jones e Stan Getz buscaram novas fontes para enriquecer o jazz. O jazz tem essa capacidade plástica de incorporar a música nacional, mantendo suas raízes.

Foi o caso da música caribenha, latina, africana e da Boa Nova, que foi adaptada ao cool jazz.

Duke, Miles, Peguy Lee, Ella, C Basie e Sinatra adoravam Bossa

 Stan Getz, Herbie Mann, Charlie Parker, Tony Bennett, Miles, Quincy Jones, Dizzy Byrd, Duke, rescued bossa nova as a source of jazz renewal. Jazz incorporates elements from other cultures without losing its roots. It was the era of cool jazz.
