Final Words
For Someone who know little about Brazilian Muisc beside Jobim, this book is a great start. If you like Jobim, 30% of the book is devoted to him, offering 5 of his songs. I should point out that “So Danco Samba” although listed at the back cover is not found in the book. Get your copy of Guitar Music of Brazil by John Zaradin.
