2016 marked Samba’s 100^th anniversary. 2023 celebrated Bossa Nova’s 65^th birthday and if you fast forward from either of those events to today, it’s easy to see how our love of Brazilian jazz can be distilled into a single timely phrase: ‘Legacy and Alchemy’.

This week, let’s settle in to explore a handpicked playlist of musical milestones for Brazilian jazz.

Our Brazil Back2Back brings us two versions of a single song and I’ll introduce to you a few favorite tracks from singer Alexandra Jackson’s impressive debut ‘Legacy and Alchemy’ album, too.

Happy Listening,
Scott Adams
