About Bossa Antigua

Bossa Antigua is an album recorded by American jazz saxophonist Paul Desmond featuring performances recorded in 1964 which were released on the RCA Victor label. The album title is a kind of pun: Bossa Antigua ("old thing") in contrast to the popular musical genre Bossa Nova ("the new thing"). However Antigua is a proper pronoun, naming the island that is paired with Bermuda. The word for ‘old’ is ‘antigo’ in Portuguese, a cognate maybe of Antigua
