Here's the chord melody of Blue Bossa played with Stilblu model JM. I made tab before but never get to sync audio and video, so here it is. Blue Bossa is somewhat challenging in a way it's not really a bossa and trad jazz but modern jazz. I heard Bluenote record needs at least 1 blues tune when they used to make a jazz record. I feel like this song is also written in fitting the record label idea. This arrangement I combined trad and modern jazz approach such as diminished chord and half step resolutions. Something I didn't know we can apply to this song till pretty recently.
