Bossa nova
Popular
Highly Rated
With his elegantly delicate voice and subtly intense acoustic guitar, the man who invented bossa nova is a musical Rock of Gibraltar. Claus Ogerman\'s string arrangements add another layer of artistry to Gilberto\'s heavily accented version of Cole Porter\'s \"\'S Wonderful,\" a passionate \"Besame Mucho,\" the upbeat \"Tin Tin Por Tin Tin,\" and four heart-melting Antonio Carlos Jobim standards. If nothing else, the strings helped bring bossa nova to the larger audience it deserved.
