Bossa Nova


I love the Bossa Nova. Had it on all afternoon. Stan Getz' saxophone reminds me of the smoke lazily rising from a cigar, wafting through the warm and dimmly lit room.
Corcovado, Menina Flor, Girl from Ipanema, One Note Samba.
Lately my favorite is Samba Triste. The combination of rhythm, melody, and mood here is absolutely brilliant. Incredibly romantic.
