Ahhhhh, bossa nova. It’s back, you know, although — like the best art — it never really went away. Created in Brazil in the 1950s, bossa nova’s marriage of jazz and samba remains irresistible. One of its masters, pianist João Donato, a contemporary of bossa nova founders Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto, brings his trio to Vartan’s Jazz Club on Friday, April 27, and Saturday, April 28, for his first tour of the United States in thirty years. Listening to Donato’s spare and dreamy lines, you imagine driving a convertible down the coast of Brazil with a pastel sky above and a beautiful companion next to you. It’s effortless.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $22,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
