“Tall and tan and young and lovely,
The girl from Ipanema goes walking...”
Terrific music in a wonderful time of the world....how we’ve screwed it ups a sin and a crime. But music takes us back for a wonderful moment.
It is great, was a great collaboration. You could call it Jazz but it’s a fusion of its own name: Bossa Nova. It’s a jazz influenced Brazilian sound in that it’s a little off beat and a little off key. But it does have a structure. It’s not free-form Jazz. But it’s incredible, enjoyable, relaxing, and fun.
The best!
Memories....I first saw Brasil 66 live in 1967 when they opened for Peter, Paul & Mary at the Carter Barron Amphitheater in Wash, DC. WHAT A SHOW!
You’re speaking my language.

God, I loved that era of music...Stan Getz, Girl from Ipanema, what’s not to love...
GREAT music! Samba and bossa nova are due for a revival.
Marking.
Jazz/Samba is my favorite music genre. Thanks for posting...

Astrud Gilberto recently passed but her voice was so incredibly pure & gentle...and very sexy, too!
Beautiful. AND timeless. What a wonderful combination of creative talent. Nothing like it since.
I think Bossa Nova diehards would bristle at the suggestion that it’s really just jazz with a Brazilian accent.
