There was also a lot of other Getz albums, Brubeck, and Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, among other jazzy stuff popular in the late 60's early 70's

and she almost seems disconnected from herself at points haha

My favorite version of this is the longer album version that starts with Joao Gilberto singing in Portuguese, then Astrud in English, then a long solo by Stan Getz, but it's long and I didn't want to test people's patience.
