To the man who sang the Girl from Ipanema (in Portuguese) and another classic Joao Gilberto song, the name of which I can’t recall, and played the saxophone on line 13 this morning.
The Metro ride into work is usually my least favorite part of the day, but thanks to him, I spent my brief commute humming along and smiling like an idiot at no one in particular. Not bad at all as far as Monday mornings go...
I love, LOVE Jobim and Gilberto. I used to sing a few tunes in my (now defunct) band. I really, REALLY miss that stuff.
ReplyDeleteOz, I'm not very familiar with the genre but I do like it a lot - and this man's voice was great. He really made my day.
ReplyDeleteHi chimera!
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest to you "The Man from Ipanema" for your listening pleasure? It's a 3-disc set and I think you'll really like it.
