Girl from Ipanema - Bossa Nova Piano
on: April 05, 2021, 06:17:05 PM
There are not many recordings of latin solo piano, probably because playing the overlapping rhythms with only two hands is rather difficult.

But here I tried to make a solo arrangement of the Bossa Nova Classic "Girl From Ipanema" by Tom Jobim. The second chorus also contains some improvisation and a reference to another famous bossa nova song by Tom Jobim.

I'm looking forward to your feedback!

Nice!
I like bosses but haven't yet cracked the feeling the rhythm part necessary to devote less brain energy to the active counting I seem to need to do when I read thru these
I have a bossa arrangement of the bach air in g and a of a chopin prelude I fiddle w now and then I should probably finish learning ,thansk for the motivation
