grandad Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 My Jazz quartet play 'The Girl From Ipanema' . I knew nothing about the origin of the song but was shown a Guardian article today about the author. https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2019/jul/06/joao-gilberto-obituary What a contribution he made to music! 2 Quote

Hellzero Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Indeed, Antônio Carlos Jobim has written most the Bossa Nova tunes including A Garota de Ipanema, but it was often a two hands work with João Gilberto, even if he is not always credited : that's show business. 1 Quote
