*To virtually all Americans, the words “bossa nova” are synonymous with Brazilian jazz. More specifically, they immediately trigger memories of bossa nova’s greatest American hit, “The Girl From Ipanema.” When Creed Taylor introduced Astrud Gilberto’s version of the song to American audiences in 1964, he had no idea what kind of lasting impact it would have. He had no idea that Getz/Gilberto would come to define Brazilian music for American audiences. Forever.
