She looks nothing like the Girl from Ipanema of My Mind looks like.

she doesn't look from ipanema... more from miami or california

I love all the fabulous play suits the girls are wearing. But, it's snowing outside.

i saw stan getz at the last playboy jazz festival he played at, right before he died. i used to listen to roost quartets a lot when i was feeling low. well, that and all the charlie parker tracks on a smithsonian jazz collection my old man gave me for xmas one year.

is it wrong that this just reminds me of rachel singing this from friends?

i live in the "hood" now and is fun to drive around pumping this out of my stereo this and

cool video, that's great.

have you heard the stuff he did with mccoy tyner and johnny hartman? man that album is good, their version of lush life is unbelievable. and he did epistrophy with monk, that's another of my all time coltrane faves.

YES! all the way!
Epistrophy, the icing on the cake
My gosh good music is such a wonderful thing!

Thanks Alex, I think I'll record a video of me singing it, I've been told I sing it very well, mind you, with a slightly French accent it might be as the Portuguese one
I've been singing Brazilian and Portuguese (LOVE fado) music for about 15 years and I feel like I'm in heaven every time...
Want to keep on learning Portuguese but then, I need to focus on Spanish cause in California it's pretty handy...

would be better if she showed more emotion

confused .. i always thought chris montez sang this song.

I've never seen the video before - the girls clothes and the expression on the guy in the band's face made me laugh . I always imagined her singing this on the beach not with snow in the background!

that's how I look at concerts. maybe it was a gathering of socially inept people.

I thought so, too. I'd probably do playback like that if I were taped.
