That cool girl from Brazil has checked out at 83. Her recording of The Girl from Ipanema with Stan Getz is just unforgettable. :rose:

Agreed. Sad for us oldies to see familiar names leave us. Saw Stan Getz in concert about a hundred years ago.

Absolutely great song, which I first heard somewhere around 1963 while moored in San Pedro (Los Angeles) docks.

I saw Getz live in Stockholm, 1989. Great gig. When the boats in the harbour just behind the scene heard his final tone, they honked back, and an improvised "conversation" energed!
