Milton Nascimento has joined the Jobim Trio to celebrate the 50th anniversary of bossa nova with the Sept. 30 Blue Note Records release, Novas Bossas.
The group planned the album after Milton Nascimento and the Jobim Trio performed together at Rio de Janeiro’s Botanical Garden, in a concert that paid homage to the late Tom Jobim’s 80th birthday. “Our relationship is so fantastic that it seems as if we have always played together,” Nascimento said.
“It was refreshing to revisit this repertoire, which I have known for long, next to Milton,” said Paulo Jobim. “One side inspires the other,” said Daniel Jobim, “And when Milton sings, music is reborn.”
