Question

Much attention has been drawn to this jazz standard’s harmonically-ambiguous 16-bar bridge section, which begins by modulating up a half step from the home key. This is the second track on Ella Fitzgerald’s 1981 album, in whose title she “hugs” its composer. Moreover, her 1965 live album Ella in Hamburg includes a gender-swapped version of this song. (10[1])Though its best-known recording is in D-flat, most American (-5[1])musicians play (10[1])this (10[1])song (10[1])in F, (10[1])with a melody that begins with the descending four-note figure “G, E, E, D.” Claus Ogerman arranged (10[1])this song as the first track on Frank Sinatra’s 1967 collaboration album, (10[1])which also features its composer’s songs “Dindi” and “Corcovado.” (10[2])Tom Jobim (10[2])(“zho-BEEM”) composed (10[2])this (10[1])song (10[2]-5[1])and played the piano part on the 1964 (10[1])album Getz/Gilberto (10[3])(“gets zheew-BAIR-too”). For 10 points, name this all-time most-recorded bossa nova (10[1])song. ■END■ (10[2])
