When She Passes Each One She Passes Goes Ahhhh

I've been listening to an album I recently downloaded from iTunes: Eliane Elias plays Jobim.

I used to own this on cassette tape and had forgotten how much I loved it. Eliane Elias is a Brazilian jazz pianist, arranger, vocalist and songwriter. She's also quite fetching. But aren't all those Brazilian women?

It was actually a young, Brazilian girl that inspired one of Jobim's most famous songs; The Girl from Ipanema. I grew up hearing this song (and all the others on the album), and always sang along; tall and tan and young and lovely...Bossa Nova was in my blood. Listen for yourself.
