Johnny Alf, 80, a founder and pioneer of Bossa Nova music and a pianist artist, died Thursday at a hospital near Sao Paulo, Brazil, of multiple organ failure. He had been fighting prostate cancer. Mr. Alf, who widely influenced later stars, was called the "true father of Bossa Nova" by Ruy Castro, who wrote a definitive history of the music. Mr. Alf, born Alfredo Jose da Silva in Rio de Janeiro, was an aficionado of early American jazz, which greatly influenced his work and that of Bossa Nova as a whole.

New Delhi, March 2 (IANS) Three years ago, Biddu, the musician who gave India the Bollywood cult number “Aap Jaisa Koi…”, decided to swap his guitar for the pen - partly because “music was not the important thing in the world any more”.
“Record sales were dipping and the X-box was moving in - unlike 15 years ago when music was the most important thing. I did not want to keep doing music year after year till I grew old with a foot in the grave,” Biddu told IANS here.
Last week, the musician cut his teeth in the literary world with his autobiography, “Biddu: Made in India”.

March 2, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): We have grown up hearing the lines of Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s ‘Madhushala’ as sung by the great Manna Dey and composed by the fabulous Jaidev. But now comes the surprise. Harivanshrai Bachchan’s equally distinguished son, Amitabh Bachchan, has, in his hands, the lines of ‘Madhushala’ as created by his father. The fact that the immortal Harivanshrai Bachchan had actually composed a tune for his lines comes as a complete surprise. Says Amitabh Bachchan, “I sang ‘Madhushala’ recently at a live performance the way my father had composed and sung it. That is the original tune for ‘Madhushala’. My father sang it that way from day one, with no orchestra of course.”
