The Girl From Ipanema is Dead 😢

Iconic Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto died today, at the age of 83. “I’m here to bring you the sad news that my grandmother became a star today and is next to my grandfather João Gilberto. Astrud was the true girl who took bossa nova from Ipanema to the world,” Gilberto’s granddaughter Sofia said on her Instagram page, in a statement that CNN translated from Portuguese.
Here's Astrud with Stan Getz:

Yes you are a star now, in that mighty, infinite, amazing universe, and your light will shine on us forever. 😞

@therighttothink50 What a beautiful playlist! Thank you – now I've got something to listen to when I go to bed tonight (6:30pm here) 🌷
PS The only one of those I've heard before is Maynard's "La Fiesta": excellent jazz!
Jazz – America’s one true original art form. 🎼🎶 <== should be syncopated
