João Gilberto
Carnegie Hall, JVC Jazz Festival; June 22, $35–$100
Landmark achievement: Alongside composer Antonio Carlos Jobim, Brazilian singer-guitarist João Gilberto invented bossa nova, the windswept music that taught the world to chill.
Why see him now: Catching Gilberto in the flesh is the only way to understand how an unassuming gentleman with a guitar slowed the collective pulse in the land of sun, skin and samba. Who wouldn’t want to bring a date to see a guy who can lay claim to being the coolest man alive?
