On Friday, October 17, Symphony Center marks the 50th anniversary of bossa nova with a performance by renowned singer /songwriter Milton Nascimento and the Jobim Trio. One of the true icons of Brazilian music, Nascimento is beloved throughout the world for his timeless songs and unique voice.
Throughout his 40-year career, he has released nearly 30 albums, including "Clube da Esquina," "Native Dancer" and the Grammy Award-winning "Nascimento." Although he is a master of Brazilian music, he has never confined himself to any one genre, often collaborating with artists such as Wayne Shorter, Paul Simon, Pat Metheny and Duran Duran. One of his closest relationships was with the late Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim, one of the most influential popular composers of the 20th century and a primary force behind the creation of bossa nova music. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the emergence of this musical style, Nascimento teams up with the Jobim Trio, featuring guitarist Paulo Jobim and pianist Daniel Jobim (son and grandson of the great Tom), and Tom's longtime drummer, Paulo Braga. During this program, Nascimento and the Jobim Trio pay tribute to Tom's remarkable compositions, at the same time infusing them with their own present-day grooves. The group released an album on the EMI label in Brazil earlier this year; "Novas Bossas" will be released in the United States later this spring.
