Milton Nascimento, one of the greatest Brazilian musicians of all time, has just finished a tour in Europe, during which he and partners Jobim Trio played songs from their latest CD, Novas Bossas (Nascimento Música/EMI). The CD is a celebration of Bossa Nova, the unique Brazilian music style that gave the world classics such as "The Girl from Ipanema" and has its 50th anniversary this year. Released in Brazil last March 5, the CD is being released internationally by EMI this month.
