2009 The Bossa Nova Hotel – Moon Island

The Bossa Nova Hotel is a musical state of mind that was created and exists in cyberspace. It is a coalition of musicians who meet and create online, coming together regardless of where they may be on the globe–Los Angeles, Tokyo, Nashville, Rio and Bali. A combination of heart, mind and talent, it’s creatively inspired by the love of a vast array of popular music, re-interpreted and served up Brazilian-style. Who is in residence at that Bossa Nova Hotel today? Michael Sembello, Janey Clewer and Bruce Gaitsch.
