I just picked up the 3CD/Book by him called "The man from Ipanema" on
Verve.
The first disc is 23 songs concentrating mostly on vocals. Disc 2 is 15
instrumentals. Disc 3 has his biggest hits with multiple versions of the
songs. It also came with a beautiful book full of interviews, art and
background information. All I can say is WOW!

On a similar note, can somebody point me in the direction of some of the
better Bossa Nova/Acid Jazz releases and comps? I've seen Instinct's
"Bossa Brava" series but have never heard it.

Thanks and take care everybody,

Pedro Cevallos
