37.43Level 20 — don't confuse this with bossa
We did bossa in “Blue Bossa” and “The Girl from Ipanema.”
This groove should not become generic “Latin jazz.”
Keep the rhythmic concept distinct.
In practical terms:
do not simply reuse your bossa LH pattern and change the tune.
Each style needs its own rhythmic identity.
