Chega De Saudade
"Chega de Saudade" (), also known as "No More Blues", is a bossa nova jazz standard. It is often considered to be the first bossa nova song to be recorded. Like "The Girl from Ipanema", the music for "Chega de Saudade" was composed by AntĂ´nio Carlos Jobim, with lyrics by VinĂcius de Moraes. Overview The song was first recorded in 1957 by Brazilian singer Elizete Cardoso and released on her 1958 album, ''Canção Do Amor Demais''. However, people took little notice of her release of the song. JoĂŁo Gilberto included the second recorded version in 1958. Released as a single, the song became a hit and would consolidate bossa nova as a permanent genre in the Latin music lexicon. The song also appeared on Gilberto's first album ''Chega de Saudade''. The title can be translated roughly as "enough longing", though the Portuguese word, ''saudade'', carries a far more complex meaning. The word implies an intensity of heartfelt connection that is yearned for passionately, not unlike feeli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

One Note Samba
"Samba de uma Nota Só", known in English as "One Note Samba", is a bossa nova and jazz standard song composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim with Portuguese lyrics by Newton Mendonça.
