‘Blue Bossa’ is an instrumental jazz composition by the American jazz trumpeter, singer, and composer Kenny Dorham. It was introduced by jazz tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson on his album Page One in 1963. ‘Blue Bossa’ is a blend of hard bop and bossa nova. The tune was possibly influenced by Dorhams visit to the Rio de Janeiro Jazz Festival in1961. The tune has since been recorded numerous times by different artists (Dexter Gordon, Joe Pass, Pat Martino etc) making it absolutely a jazz standard. The Rosenberg played ‘Blue Bossa’ probably for the first time for the German TV (ZDF). This jazz standard has been performed and recorded at The North Sea Jazz Festival 1992. Jimmy Rosenberg has recorded the tune on his album ‘Trio’ in 2004. sintimusic.nl youtube/user/sintim01
