Whatever you want, Stan Getz.
True story from his autobiography... In the 1950s he was playing a gig in Seattle. He got arrested for shoplifting at a drug store downtown. Spent a night in jail. He did it in order to buy heroin.
Some things never change in Seattle.
Except now the needles are free and nobody is getting arrested for shoplifting in order to fence for necessities.
He was a beyond troubled person. Amazing talent... and his collaboration with Joao and Astrud Gilberto brought bossa nova to the US.
The Frankie take is best though.

Yep, the Sinatra/Jobim collaboration was pretty damn good and I like that ^^^^ live show they did in 1967.
