Brazilian jazz: Difference between revisions

'''Brazilian Jazzjazz''' can refer to both a genre, largely influenced by [[bossa nova]] and [[samba]], that exists in many nations and the jazz music of Brazil itself.

The term "música instrumental Brasileira", which literally means "Brazilian instrumental music", is used in Brazil as aan generalizedumbrella term to refer to jazz as well as several instrumental forms of art music drawing on national styles such as [[choro]], [[samba]] and [[bossa nova]]. The term's ambiguity allows for the fact that Brazilian musicians themselves do not always have much in common with each other and might be willing to play in several genres. Terms for subgenres such as ''brazuca'', ''ecm'', and ''fusion'' are more specific to jazz.

Bossa's relationship to jazz, and popularity with American jazz musicians, led to Brazilian musicians, such as [[Airto Moreira]] and [[Flora Purim]], spending time in the United States and connecting to its jazz scene. [[Egberto Gismonti]] and [[Hermeto Pascoal]] also had a close association to jazz. This, combined with earlier collaborations between America jazz musicians and bossa nova artists, also led to "Brazilian jazz" as a kind of genre American musicians, notably [[Stan Getz]] and [[Charlie Byrd]] played.<ref name="Kirchner2005">{{cite book|author=Bill Kirchner|title=The Oxford Companion to Jazz|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dIyO-dQwkDwC&pg=PA556|date=14 July 2005|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-518359-7|pages=556–558}}</ref>
