Coolin

This is a song by Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto called Corcovado.  It is from an album called Getz/Gilberto.  Gilberto is a great Spanish guitarist and Getz is an American jazz musician.  This song is slow jazz but the musical parts are so great I could not resist putting it up here.  Getz is from France, originally, so in the song Gilberto's sister sings in English and Getz sings in French.  The balance between the two are so good that you don't even notice the French.

This whole album is insanely good, each song seems to have a different style.  If you do not like jazz then this is probably not for you, but if you enjoy good woodwind, guitar and singing styles then this is for you.
