Ok, Bossa Nova fans, I’m finally able to start adding new tracks to the Bossa Nova Breakfast again this week! Switching over to a new network has been more work than I thought it would be, but I think I’ve got the hang of it…
Look for new music tonight from Marcos Valle, Rosa Passos, Celso Fonseca, Clara Moreno and a few others– And thanks again for your patience!

Bossa Nova Breakfast
Well, it’s official, bossa nova fams – Live365 has been shut down for good. Nothing left but a simple goodbye message on their website. I know many of you originally found the Bossa Nova Breakfast on Live365, and I’m happy to say that I had good 15 year run there.
And for those of you who still haven’t heard – the Bossa Nova Breakfast is now on Radionomy! And it just recently became available again on TuneIn. I hope you’ll join me there as I build up the playlist (slowly, but surely!) and navigate the new network.
Thanks again for being loyal listeners!

Hello Loyal Bossa Nova Fans!
I have some urgent news for you. The Bossa Nova Breakfast will soon be moving to another broadcast network. Due to increases in broadcast and royalty fees set to take effect next month, my network, Live365.com, is ceasing operations sometime in January 2016. I have been with them for more than 14 years, and there is still some hope that they will continue to provide streaming services on a limited basis after January, but I can’t say for sure at this time.
The good news is that I have been able to sign a contract with a new broadcast network, and I will begin streaming the Bossa Nova Breakfast with them very soon! I hope to have more information about how you can tune in to the new broadcast service tomorrow. Please check back here and on our website
BossaNovaBreakfast.com, for the latest updates!

Statue Of Jobim Inaugurated At Ipanema Beach
Twenty years after famous Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim’s death, a statue in his honor was inaugurated in Ipanema. The statue of man who composed “The Girl From Ipamena” and many other classic songs from the Bossa Nova era stands on the shore at Arpoador beach, one of the master’s favorite spots.
The life-size sculpture was completed after six months of work by Christina Motta, the same artist who did the statue of Brigitte Bardot in Buzios, along with six others which stand in the same beach town. Motta told the media that she based Jobim’s look on a picture from the period of the composer’s greatest fame — the Bossa Nova period of the 1960s, during which he was working with co-composer and lyricist Vinicius de Moraes.
The inauguration took place in the presence of Jobim’s family, who approved of the statue, and the unveiling was accompanied by a performance of the Sexteto Terra Brasilis band. The statue shows the artist with his guitar over his right shoulder and looks as if he was casually walking along the beach. Jobim died on December 8, 1994 in New York when he was 67 years old.
If you’re a fan of Jobim and classic Bossa Nova, tune in to the Bossa Nova Breakfast, where we celebrate the music and legacy of the great composer’s work everyday!

KENNY BARRON & THE BRAZILIAN KNIGHTS
Tune in to the Bossa Nova Breakfast this week for Brazilian jazz from pianist Kenny Barron. Recorded in Rio de Janeiro in 2012, “Kenny Barron & The Brazilian Knights”, is a showcase for a variey of compositions by recognized masters of Brazilian music, among them “Rapaz de Bem” and “Ilusão à Toa” by Johnny Alf, Baden Powell‘s “Só por Amor”, and Jobim’s classic “Triste”. The session features the work of native musicians Claudio Roditi on trumpet, guitarist Lula Galvao and harmonica player Mauricio Einhorn, who also contributed several original compositions to the recording. Barron is certainly no stranger to Brazilian jazz and samba, having worked with Dizzy Gillespie in the 1960s and with Stan Getz for five years beginning in 1986. The pianist also previously released two Brazilian themed sessions under his own name, “Sambao” in 1993, and “Canta Brasil” in 2002, both of which have been a part of the Bossa Nova Breakfast playlist for some time. With “Kenny Barron & The Brazilian Knights”, one of the most respected pianists on the American jazz scene has once again succeeded in reaching across cultures to create a work that overflows with lyricism and joy.

ANA CARAM AND THE OTHER SIDE OF JOBIM
Tune in this week to the Bossa Nova Breakfast as we present music from “The Other Side of Jobim”, an overlooked gem by the São Paulo born vocalist and guitarist Ana Caram. Recorded in 1992, “The Other Side of Jobim” was Caram’s third album, and it features some of the most engaging performances of her career. Backed by a small ensemble including two guitars, oboe, cello, Caram’s voice is relaxed and appealing throughout this set of less familiar works by the master, such as “Esperance Perdida”, “Falando de Amor”, “Demais” and “Samba Torto.” Ana Caram’s “The Other Side of Jobim”, this week on the Bossa Nova Breakfast!
