Haven’t been keeping up with the forums as I’ve been away, so maybe this has been posted already. But, a nice NYT Popcast this week about Joao Gilberto and Bossa Nova with Ben Ratliff. Also, a nice obituary on Gilberto from Ratiliff:

João Gilberto, an Architect of Bossa Nova, Is Dead at 88 (Published 2019)
Mr. Gilberto was the quintessential transmitter of the harmonically and rhythmically complex, lyrically nuanced Brazilian music, including a version of “The Girl From Ipanema.”
