This song is a special favorite of mine: Astrud sings "Lugar Bonito" with music by Carlos Lyra and lyrics by Norman Gimbel and a magnificent arrangement by Al Cohn. All musical giants.
As a musical salute to the memory of Astrud, have another listen to the original long version of "The Girl From Ipanema" from 1963. I'm in awe of the amazing talent associated with the "Getz/Gilberto" album: Creed Taylor--producer, Phil Ramone--engineer, Stan Getz--tenor sax, Tom Jobim--piano, Milton Banana--drums. Sebastiao Neto--bass, Joao Gilberto--guitar and vocals, Astrud Gilberto--vocals. With great Brazilian songs and brilliant artists, small wonder this album made musical history.
