Coffee Talk Lectures: The Girl From Ipanema – The Music of Antonio Carlos Jobim
Tuesday, October 14 @ 3:00 pm
2nd Floor – Room 6 & 7

Join us for a celebration of the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim who merged samba with cool jazz in the 1960s to create bossa nova. The Bossa Nova sound originated in Rio de Janiero, home to the Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Jobim’s The Girl from Ipanema won a Grammy for Record of the Year in 1965. Rio, a city of contrasts, features one of the seven wonders of the modern world, the pre-Lenten celebration Carnaval, and striking favelas. The city comes alive through the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim, including the Sinatra recordings, Sergio Mendes and Elis Regina.

Presenter Rick Feingold has traveled to Brazil nearly a dozen times. He programmed the Latin Jazz music series while working as the marketing director at the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State University. He teaches American History at Bergen Community College.
