Boz Scaggs Sings Jobim’s "Dindi"

<

My vote for the greatest song by the master, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Sinatra does an excellent version, but I'm partial to the Box Scaggs interpretation. The record this comes from, Speak Low, is strong all the way through. It might be the best "pop star sings the standards" record out there. Here's what Wikipedia says about Dindi:

"Dindi" is a song composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim, with lyrics by Aloysio de Oliveira. It is a world-famous bossa nova and jazz standard song. Jobim wrote this piece especially for the Brazilian singer Sylvia Telles. "Dindi" is a reference to a farm named "Dirindi", in Brazil, a place that Jobim and his friend/collaborator Vinicius de Moraes used to visit (according to Helena Jobim, his sister, in her book "Antonio Carlos Jobim - Um Homem Iluminado"). In December 1966, Telles recorded this piece with the guitarist Rosinha de Valença.
