SINATRA: Boss of the Bossa Nova:
 Frank introduces Antonio Carlos Jobim, a leader in the developmnt of a marvellous rhytmic beat called the Bossa Nova. Although subtle and restrained, this musical device has a compelling, insistent pulse that one cannot resist tapping one's fingers or feet to the song. Two of the songs. Quiet Nights and The Gal from Ipanema are originals by Jobim demonstrating its origins in the Samba traditio in Brazilian music. However, two standards, one by Irving Berlin, "Change Partners" and Cole Porters' "I concentrate on You" show how the Bossa Nova can be used to give new life to ballads written more than 70 years ago. These sings need to be whispered not shouted and are an effective antidote to the loud and insensitive nature of much of todays' music clamour.
