Style BOSSA NOVA
This Henry Mancini/Johnny Mercer favorite is arranged in a bossa-nova style for grade 3 players. The beautiful melody lends itself perfectly to the warm, sonorous voicings and flowing rhythms. The high and low strings share melodic roles while the optional rhythm section supports the arrangement. The optional solo section can be improvised using the chord changes provided, or the soloist(s) can play the written solo provided for each instrument. Duration 5:35.

This classic Jobim/Mendonca tune was recorded by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and George Michael, and in 1962 the version by Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd was a top-20 pop and easy-listening hit.
