Hi all, With Bossa Nova, it's ever interesting to look for a good melody which goes well with the chords progression. https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/uma-bossa-de-janeiroRD BossaBrushes RD BossaBrazilBrushPercAlex^1 Loop Guiro RT 464 Acoustic Bass RT 1104 Acoustic Guitar RT 2140 Alto Sax RT 4063 Piano RT 4062 Solo Piano Melody Piano Acoustic Grand Sforzando

Very nice Christian. It's got a great groove to it, cool intruments and mixed fantastically. Loved the change up in drums. Very creative piece!

Hi Chris,
What a wonderful listen! I love Latin music in the various - bossa being one of my favorites. Nice selection of players.
The only suggestion I have is to add a bit more reverb to the sax and raise the sax's volume to equal the piano's. Nonetheless, it's a very enjoyable song as is.
Very nicely done, mon ami!

Thank you all for your kind comments, Yes, Alan, I've changed the volume and the reverb of the alto sax!

Hi Christian,
Now that's a bossa! The melody is nice and in place. I like the idea of the ginned-up piano notes and that sax, wow! It sounds like the real thing (just kidding). Nice idea with the sax-piano responses. Well done! If I need to arrange a bossa, at least I know who to turn to for the real thing!
P.S. Bon format (durée...)

Chris, very nicely crafted Bossa. That rhythm guitar is a super anchor for the other instruments dancing around it. Very nicely mixed and balanced across the players. Well done!

Chris, you nailed the Bossa Nova.
You picked the perfect melody for the chord progression.
Super groove
Super mix
Sounds great

She got 8 out of 10.

Love the Bossa. You're so good at so many styles, Chris, and you created a cool melody that goes so well with this one. What a wonderfully comfortable bed you made for the melody and solos to lay down their voices. And what good voices they are.
Whoops. In my haste I wrote Samba on Soundcloud. Been listening to a lot of Samba this morning.

Good job with this, I would like to do more bossa novas, but they're trickier than people realize, I think.

Hi TuneMonger,
To create a bossa, the first thing to do is to find a good chords progression.
