Getz & Gilberto
Here's a piece from the soundtrack of my ill-spent youth by the girl from Ipanema, a goddess who had a recurring role in my sweetest fantasies. At 3am on a summer night, her voice would samba into my mind's ear as if born on the wind coming off Lake Michigan. Her easy, unselfconscious delivery is a balm for the aching heart.
I had all their music in the old days. Once I had the guts to sing Girl from Ip. at a piano bar. What was I thinking? I must have been 20. Very cool music.
