Song of the Day: Samba do Aviao (“Song of the Jet”), words and music by Antonio Carlos Jobim (with English lyrics by Gene Lees), has been recorded by many artists through the years, including Jobim himself, Tony Bennett, and Brazilian guitarist Nelson Faria, who celebrates his 63rd birthday today. Check out his duet with trombonist David Sachs [YouTube links].
