Boss2nova is all about me....a million cazillion cd's collected over the years. I fell in love with this music when Tom Jobim and the "Girl From Ipanema" along with Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66 softly drifted into my ears....ear candy for sure. For a long time I have wanted to share some of my vast music collection with you. Visit often as my site grows.....God Bless.

Favorite Artists
Antonio Carlos (Tom) Jobim
Jobim once said, "Bossa is a hunch. In Brazil, we say that a guy has 'bossa' for something, as in 'John has bossa for music'....a flair, a gift, what you might call soul. Bossa nova was the new flair, our new wave." (quote from the liner notes of cd URUBU)
Moacir Santos
The musicians' musician. His music will be enjoyed on many different levels for eternity. May he rest in peace.
