Bossa Nova is a 2004 Brazilian jazz album by jazz guitarist John Pizzarelli, who is typically known for his swing guitar skills. While not Brazilian, he has always enjoyed the music and therefore wanted to record this album. Some of the selections are penned by Tom Jobim, such as the classic tune "The Girl From Ipanema".

Critical reception

Tom Hull was unimpressed by the album, relegating it to his selection of "duds" in his July 2004 "Jazz Consumer Guide" for The Village Voice.[3]
