BACKGROUND
All Brazilian, all written by its greatest composer Antonio Carlos Jobim, and all among his most famous compositions, but all in lesser known versions. Vinicius has Bill Frisell on guitar to add a fresh flavour, Olivia shows the almost classical formality and clarity of song structure, while Joao is surely one of the most subtle and seductive singers of the 20th century and beyond. His phrasing and rhythmic nuances are unsurpassed - surely the finest version of this countlessly covered tune.
