December 15, 2008

The concept behind this attractive but all-too-succinct compilation sounds like a question from a tropical version of the Trivial Pursuits game: Who is the only vocalist to have recorded at one point or another with all three of bossa nova's holy trinity--Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto and Vinicius de Moraes? It's surprising that there is only ...
