“Blue Bossa” is an instrumental jazz composition by Kenny Dorham. It was introduced on Joe Henderson‘s 1963 album Page One.[1] A blend of hard bop and bossa nova, the tune was possibly influenced by Dorham’s visit to the Rio de Janeiro Jazz Festival in 1961.[2][3] The tune has since been recorded numerous times by different artists, making it a jazz standard.[4]
