Carlos Jobim was the King of Bossa Nova, an unparalleled composer and musician, and Herbie Hancock is a versatile top-notch pianist. However, I find the bass player too good to be true. He did six slides during the song, which is just mesmerizing. I've never heard of such electrifying bass notes in my life. I wish I knew the name of the bassist. He's out of the world. I salute to all the players of this God-given magnificent song.
The beauty in this song lies in the simplicity of its melody. Then, Herby puts this amazing solo, turning this moment in a masterpiece. Jobim, not only the father of bossa nova, but the only one who really understood it in its core.

The music of the 70s,80s,90s are quite depressing and ambiguous - I'm not saying it's not good, it IS very good sometimes, but always ambiguous and with a strange dark melancholy. But jazz and bossa-nova music are precise/direct and always uplifting, even the sad songs are ultimately UP and not DOWN.
Herbie is always wonderful, and one of my greatest lifetime hero’s. But I’m surprised how often he seems to need his sheet music with him. Does he not know the changes to Waves? Even after the rehearsal I presume they had? Just an observation..;)
