The Girl from Ipanema

This is one of those extremely cool moments frozen in time through video. Frank Sinatra is jazz's most popular singer, an academy award winning actor, and a pop icon. Antonio Carlos Jobim is credited with being the creative force behind the style of music known as Bossa Nova, and is one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. To hear and to see them together like this is a gift. The song they are singing - "The Girl from Ipanema" is a jazz standard, and is often requested on gigs. Kick back with some Brazilian food, and take this in...
