This time its Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim performing a medley of duets on a tv show from November 1967. I especially love Frank’s Intro as he’s fiddling with a cigarette in his hands and says:

The instrument – guitar
The beat – Bossa Nova
The artist – One of the inventors of this exciting, all new sound, Antonio Carlos Jobim.

This is a great intro to one of my favorite albums of all-time (I have both the LP and CD – I’m such a nerd). I’d highly recommend purchasing it for your bachelor pad, study hall, next party, office cube, home collection or whatever. I love the fact that Frank seems to one-up Jobim by referring to himself in his full name as well.

So sit back, relax, pull up a wicker chair and, sure, take a smoke break like Frank does in the performance.
