The Ultimate Guide To Jobim's Harmony: 'The Girl From Ipanema' Bossa Nova Explained

In this jazz tutorial video, we explore the intricate harmony of Jobim's bossa nova classic, "The Girl From Ipanema". We examine Jobim's use of out-of-the-ordinary dominant chords, which is simply brilliant. Jobim pushes the boundaries of traditional harmony, always keeping us on our toes with unexpected but stunning chord progressions. In this tutorial, we reveal the brilliance of one of the greatest composers of all time, Jobim. We take a closer look at measure 6 and explore Jobim's unique use of the subV7 chord, which adds a unique flavor to the progression. We also discuss the B section of the song, where we analyze the dominant chords B7, D7, and Eb7, and the modulation pattern in the melody. At the end of the video, we provide a downloadable pdf for the lesson. So, get ready to be inspired and challenged by Jobim's genius and creativity!
