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

I just learned of her work about a year ago. She and Stan Getz
sure were great together.

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.

One of the best bossa nova albums ever produced is Jobim’s “Wave”.
A true joy to listen and relax to. Very sensual too.

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