This is another record album that has traveled with me for 50+ years from Minnesota to Massachusetts to Texas to Kentucky to Indiana to Missouri and finally to Wisconsin. Now I'll save two cuts of it here before saying goodbye to it.
"The Girl From Ipanema" was made popular by a short 45-rpm version that zoomed in the pop charts, but I prefer this more detailed and nuanced presentation from the album.
[The album] won the 1965 Grammy Awards for Best Album of the Year, Best Jazz Instrumental Album - Individual or Group and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. "The Girl from Ipanema" also won the award for Record of the Year in 1965. This was the first time a jazz album received Album of the Year. It was the last jazz album to win the award until Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters 43 years later, in 2008.The other cut I'm saving is this version of "Desifinado":
I never knew what the Portugese title or lyrics meant until writing this post (translation here).
