Elis Regina and Antonio Carlos Jobim: A Musical Love Story and a Timeless Recording
by Victor L. Schermer
One of my all-time favorite albums and desert island picks is Elis and Tom (Phillips, 1974), featuring duets by the legendary Antonio Carlos “Tom" Jobim and Elis Regina, an iconic Brazilian singer lesser known in the U.S. who a few years later died of a drug overdose at the age of 36.

Paul Winter Sextet: Count Me In
by Duncan Heining

Their story, and that of their leader and altoist Paul Winter's, is certainly one of the most remarkable in jazz.
