Bossa nova

as much a testament to the INSANE vivacity and breadth of sound you can achieve w tight unification around the bar as western jazz is a demonstration of more individualist flexing and complexity. this isnt to put them in opposition to each other in the slightest, these are two sides of the jazz horseshoe that complement and underscore each other constantly. when people say that jazz is an american invention, theyre right -- but there is no 60s new jazz, no propelling of global jazz theory into the present, that doesnt rest majorly in the hands of bossa and the voice it established in this beautiful back-n-forth

the good shit is good and the bad shit is real bad

good sounds for my brains
