Although bossa nova enjoyed only a spasm of true popularity in America during the early 1960s, it's survived through the years as a boutique genre with a kind of hipster cachet. Emit director David Manson co-leads the band Brisa Do Brasil with his wife Andrea Moraes Manson, a native of Rio de Janeiro. They'll be joined by pianist Regis Moreira (from Sao Paulo) and drummer Robert Crawford in a bossa nova program that includes material by Marcos Valle, Tom Jobim, Edu Lobo, Ivan Lins and other Brazilian composers. Should be a good night to get your cool on. Wed., Feb. 15, 8 p.m., Studio@620, 620 First Ave. S., St. Petersburg. $10 general/$8 students and seniors, 727-895-6620.
