Double Bass Rosa Passos - Aguas De Marco

[Don Kasper]

Here is a harmonic sketch - best felt in "2".
Check out @2:04 and 2:40 especially(!)

It's good; I like it. I transcribed the recording by Elis and Jobim, here, and found that my band, including me, couldn't play it, particularly the bridge when it gets off onto the up-beat and then back on to the down-beat. Jobim, I believe, commented that the tune was a "tone poem" but this recording is much more than that, IMO, it's a tone-poem song. Brilliance recorded, IMO.

Thanks for reminding me just how awesome (a word I don't at all use frequently) that recording of this tune is. Love her voice.
