Fine Wine of the Week

Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim. A Medley, including "Corcovado", "Change Partners", "I Concentrate On You" and "The Girl From Ipanema."



This is the epitome of aural sensuality, at least to me.

Laid back, languid Sinatra singing, ciggy in hand; Tom Jobim providing the sensual bossa nova underbeat.

So evocative of a time and place gone by, yet still timeless.

If you dig this, I highly recommend picking up the album the two recorded together in the mid '60s: Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim . You won't be sorry.
