This project presents the first Mandarin Bossa Nova songbook, introducing a new direction in Chinese pop and jazz with a vibrant orchestral setting. Composed and arranged by Zhengchun ‘Dewey’ Huang, the program features three original songs inspired by classic Chinese oldies and the Bossa Nova tradition of Jobim, Stan Getz, and Luiz Bonfa. Each piece tells a story of romance, beauty, and bittersweet longing, expressed through smooth melodies and sophisticated harmonies.
