Hello, Organissimo folks, it's AccuJazz programmer Lucas Gillan with our newest channel, Brazilian Jazz. We're streaming a collection of much Brazilian and Brazilian-influenced jazz, from classic Getz/Gilberto to Dexter Gordon playing bossas to jazz-tinged MPB stars like Joao Bosco and Jorge Ben. Hope you enjoy:

Ever since Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim fused American jazz with Brazilian samba in the 1950s to form the new style known as Bossa Nova, countless musicians have been inspired to create music marrying the two traditions. Brazilian harmonies and rhythms have pervaded modern jazz in the past 50 years, influencing artists from Stan Getz to Maria Schneider. To celebrate Brazilian Jazz, AccuJazz Internet radio has just launched a new streaming channel devoted to the style. It is free to use and available 24 hours a day.

The subtle syncopated rhythms, complex harmonies, and combination of dissonance and sweetness in Brazilian music make for art of rare beauty. Listeners will hear these traits in the over 600 songs playing on the channel. The playlist includes timeless bossa nova by Joao Gilberto, American masters like Charlie Byrd and Stan Getz, a sprinkling of Brazilian-influenced hard bop by artists like Dexter Gordon and Joe Henderson, and jazz-tinged MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) by artists such as Joao Bosco, Gilberto Gil, Beth Carvalho, and Caetano Veloso. Brazilian expatriates such as Eliane Elias, Jovino Santos Neto, Luciana Souza and Claudio Roditi also make up a large portion of the playlist.

"Brazilian Jazz" brings the tally of AccuJazz channels to 48, joining other popular channels like "Piano Jazz," "Decade: 50s," "Straight Ahead," and "Jazz Fusion." As with all AccuJazz channels, listeners can customize their experience by pausing, skipping songs, and "deselecting" artists they would rather not hear. Listen now at AccuJazz.com.
