Gypsy and Current Jazz + Bossa Nova Summer + Summer Treat For You

JAZZRADIO.com Newsletter [JazzRadio.com logo]( [From Django's Heyday To The Latest & Greatest Jazz Tunes]( Leave it to combos like The Rosenberg Trio and Pearl Django to pull out jazz standards like Ol’ Man River and Stardust and make them the talk of the town! Of course, that isn’t news to devotees of our Gypsy Jazz channel. There, the inimitable style of Django Reinhardt, the Romani guitarist whose two-fingered playing (he nearly died in a fire as a young man and lost the use of three fingers on his left hand) made him the most accomplished (and recognizable) European jazz musician of the 20th century is alive and well. On the other hand, the jazz world has evolved since Django's heyday during the 1930s and 40s, and it's also important to keep abreast of the modern trends that are lighting up jazz clubs from New Orleans to New York to Berlin. There is nowhere better to stay on top of jazz "current events" than our Current Jazz channel, whether you’re looking get your blood pumping with a Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts drum solo or breathtaking improv by Saxophonist Alex Terrier, or if you're trying to compare Jeremy Pelt’s trumpet style to Steve Davis’ trombone virtuosity. Not that there's any reason to choose - For [Gypsy Jazz](, [Current Jazz]( and more than 30 other channels, make [JAZZRADIO.com]( your default listening app today! [Summer Means Bossa Nova]( Summer is here, the days are long and the water is warm - in other words, it’s Bossa Nova season! In contrast to other styles of jazz, it isn’t hard to confuse modern Bossa Nova tracks with classic works by 1950s-era standard bearers such as João Gilberto and Antonio Jobim. Technology may have set modern life at a frantic pace, but artists such as Brazilian singers Céu and Sabrina Malheiros don’t seem to have noticed the change. Their music continues to fuse the easy rhythmic traditions of their homeland with jazz harmonies more typical of North America, creating a unique style that is equally compelling as quiet background music or a front-of-the-house treat for active listening. Of course, Brazilians aren't the only culture around trying to balance the speedy tempo of 21st century life with creative opportunities to dial down and connect with the relaxing simplicity of South America’s largest country. In the Northern Hemisphere, American guitarists Jack Jezzro and Earl Klugh, trumpeter Leif Shires and others have tapped into the spirit of Brazil and flavored bossa standards like The Girl from Impanema with a faint hint of the dissonance that is common in modern America. It's obviously a winning combination: Ipanema is nearly the most covered song in the world, second only to the Beatles Yesterday. So grab a cold drink, stretch out by the pool, and tune into JAZZRADIO.com’s [Bossa Nova]( and [Smooth Bossa Nova](. They’re the perfect addition for the perfect summer season!
