Has it remained frozen in time?
Gilberto, Jobim and that whole cool n lazy / Brazilian / samba feel? Even in jazz it has remained very 'traditional' and laid back.. Stan Getz, Charlie Byrd type stuff.
I love the notes on the rhythm, which is primarily a guitar plucking style not really intended for drum set, but are there any modern expressions of the Bossa, played on the drum set in a 'new' way?
One sees drummers taking some of the other 'latin' rhythms and expanding the vocabulary, but not the bossa.
Is 'The Girl for Ipanema' it, or can anything more be done with the bossa?
This might be a very ignorant question, so feel free to chastise and educate, if necessary.
