Brazilian Skies Celebrates the Birthday of Antonio Carlos Jobim We might be a day late, but we’re not going to let that stop us from celebrating the  96th birthday of one of bossa nova’s most important musicians. Antonio Carlos Jobim would have turned 96 on January 27. In honor of the occasion, Brazilian Skies will debut a bunch of new arrangements of Jobim’s tunes, spanning his entire career. You’ll hear some of his classic songs (“No More Blues”, “Dindi”, “Double Rainbow”), and some things that you might have missed when they were first recorded. With a catalog of over 400 songs, we have a lot to choose from!

Come on down to the Station on January 28th to find out what we decided to play.
