As a brazilian guitar player, i'd like to recommend you to listen to the album "Toquinho e Paulinho Nogueira". It is a beautiful album from two brazilian guitar players:

My favorite and I can’t believe it hasn’t been mentioned yet!

It doesn’t start at Bossa of course… for chorinhos this album (this is one track from it) is definitive. Featuring the legendary
Not sure if it’s jazz per se, but it’s related
this album is pretty important for Bossa. The purist thing imo.
Had anyone mentioned guinga?
Also I like this

He wasn't Brazilian, but Charlie Byrd had a huge role in popularizing Bossa Nova in the US. He's one of my favorite guitarists, and he could play bossa with the best.

Check out Nelson Faria's YouTube channel: Um Café lá em Casa
I also just made a video on Nelson's book the Brazilian Guitar Book where I go over some guitarist and different styles of Brazilian music

This is the single best guitar book I ever bought. It covers specifics of how to play various grooves, with the examples drawn from well known recordings -- and transcribed accurately. You can actually learn how the guitar style is played for each groove. It's a great springboard for getting into Brazilian styles.
And, the video brings it to life.
Nice job!

Thirty-nine posts and no one has mentioned Rosa Dos Passos? Here's Rosa doing Jobim's "Voce' Vai Ver."

Rosa Passos was my introduction to post Jobim Brazilian music. Morada Do Samba, I think, was the name of the album.
She just played Dizzy's in NYC for 3 nights with Chico Pinheiro, Rafa Barata and Helio Alves.

Has anybody mentioned Joao Bosco?
Filo Machado?
Dori Cayymi?
Oscar Castro Neves?
Baden Powell?
I'll save vocalists for another thread (not that this list doesn't include guitarists who sing too)Last edited by rpjazzguitar; 07-16-2022 at 02:36 PM.

Netflix had the documentary "This Is Bossa Nova" and may still have it available. It is definitely worth a watch and interviews many of the originators of the style. It made me realize that in Brazil bossa nova is a music played in backyards and homes along the lines of a folk music rather than a concert music.

Yamandu Costa. The only other place where such creativity is apparent is in Eastern Europe and the wealth of talent among Classical guitarists and pianists.

Here are the Assad Brothers that I was fortunate to see play live when in Illinois. Truly, guitar magic.
