This is a note-for-note transcription of the instruments listed – included is also an incomplete draft of the piano part. This version has a vibe full of youthful optimism, as opposed to the Jazzified Getz/Gilberto version with its slower and Astrud Gilberto’s longing/yearning vocal evoking a hint of melancholy instead. This instrumental version features several compositional ideas that were omitted for the sake of improvisation. I reckon this is the closest to Jobim’s original vision of the tune. Enjoy!
