Brazilian Jazz
Brazilian jazz can refer to both a genre, largely influenced by bossa nova and samba, that exists in many nations and the jazz music of Brazil itself. Música instrumental Brasileira The term "música instrumental Brasileira", which literally means "Brazilian instrumental music", is used in Brazil as a generalized term to refer to jazz as well as several instrumental forms of art music drawing on national styles such as choro, samba and bossa nova.
