songs in the style of bossa

Jazzaferri

ND ... I spent some time a decade ago on choro music. Not gotten into Garoto.

Dont forget "Paquito" when exploring tunes that sound great as Bossas. The Dflat full diminished makes for an interesting twist too.

Rather surprisingly, Charles Trénet's "Que Reste-t-il de nos Amours" sounds great played as a bossa.
You can get the bossa nova chord changes for it and for many other tunes (including brazilian hits and other great songs : Besame Mucho, Fly me to the Moon, 'S Wonderful and Henri Salvador's "Jazz Méditerranée", in this great site : http://spazioinwind.libero.it/bossanova/
