Music: Jobim

I saw this video, and just needed to share:



Antonio Carlos Jobim, and often Tom Jobim, and most often simply Jobim. He is something of a Brazilian god; around the world, just a god, period. I want to have his baby, except he's no longer with us, and I'm not quite built that way.

Eliane Elias (another CL favorite) doesn't do a bad job, starting with Aguas and moving on from there.



Here's an English language version of the song. John Pizzarelli reports that he was warned by Rosemary Clooney never to perform it without the lyrics in front of him.



And a little goodbye from Jobim himself, with a different number.
