I have the gold CD shown in those videos. The album has been reissued so many times on CD (and a few times on SACD), it's crazy. I probably have 20 different versions and don't have them all.

Great music.

 

[flinter]

A shame. I read he had fallen on hard times.
If you like Astrud, check out Wanda de Sah.

I'm wondering how João would feel to see Astrud -- the ex-wife who took off on a fling with Stan Getz -- as the lead photo on his epitaph?!
