    This is a bit obvious, but have you checked out Jobim's tunes/recordings? For soloing, how about Stan Getz?

    Bossa is a very specific style of music, and I would say performance as well. I dont know much, but other than the movement starting in my homeland, understanding the portuguese lyrics raw, other than translations might help.
