Is that Stan Getz?
I love his work, and especially his work with the Bossa Nova sound.

One of the Youtube comments says, “Smoother than the felt of a pool table.”

Gotta love beat jazz and the surrounding universe.
Youtube ruins it with all the over the top ads.
I won’t watch those.

When I first heard this on a local jazz channel, I was mystified. What a beautiful piece. Took me another month to find out who it was. Gilberto was a genius.

There is another “corcovado,” an instrumental, and even better by Jobim. Absolutely beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W47F2MJDT28

One of the best bossa nova albums ever produced is Jobim’s “Wave”.

A true joy to listen and relax to. Very sensual too.

You may enjoy Ana Caram, Tom Jobim and their version of “Meditation”. It is simply brilliant:

Stan Getz, a collaborator? LOL. He worked with Jobim too, and many others of course.
