Bossa Nova is a 2004 Brazilian jazz album by jazz guitarist John Pizzarelli, who is typically known for his swing guitar skills. Some of the selections are penned by Tom Jobim, including "The Girl from Ipanema".
AllMusic reviewer Ken Dryden praised the album for "Pizzarelli's soft, swinging vocals and strong but understated guitar," noting "Gershwin's 'Fascinatin' Rhythm' is easily adapted into a bossa nova."
