What? No comments? Can't believe that. Let me straighten all of you out... Stephanie Jones is terrific! My advice is take a long dive into all of her videos and you'll be happy as a clam in a sandbank.

Adorabile .. con questa bella interpretazione per un' attimo mi sono sentito in Brasile .. obeigato Stephanie ...

Ms Jones, I am awe at your execution and interpretation of guitar music. I had the opportunity to watch you in concert last year in Denver. What a wonderful concert. I admit I was Star struck, you signed my CD while I stood foolishly silent with just a smile. I can only hope you come back for another concert.

[franksabatino]

Thanks Stephanie. You and this performance have panache. 👍😎

Absolutely superb, swings when its needs to, the dynamic usage is splendid. I am not crazy about some of the major 7ths moving around, , but overall what a superlative performance. You have great stage presence, confident, but not the least bit arrogant, You have a perky pixie thing happening which is like a breath of fresh air in the male dominated guitar world, OH and those 64 triplet figures are DOPE .
I k am a graduate of Juilliard (10 yrs) have a grammy for Titanic and recorded over a 1000 sessions a lot of swing stuff with Bucky Pizzarelli, , and George Benson, I LOVE nylon string guitar, anyhow I am a big fan of you, your playing, and wish you every bit of good luck in this challenging time. ( I am a violiinist, Paul Peabody)

As always, Stephany Jones plays superbly, with well controlled expressive way. Maintaining clear melody, and explosive disonance chord and bass line whenever necessary. Bravo.

Today, I went to Stephanie's concert in Japan for the first time and listened to this song performed live.
It was very cool !!
After the concert, I bought her CD, had her autograph it, and the photos we took together are my treasures.
Thank you for coming to Japan, Stephanie!!

Excellent lady. More grease to your elbow and more wisdom always.

Wonderful rendition of this beautiful tune composed by AC Jobim and Vinicius Moraes and arranged for classical guitar by the late, great Roland Dyens. Of course, many classical guitarists will recognize this as Roland's arrangement, but for those who have yet to discover his many marvelous compositions and arrangements, perhaps you could acknowledge that you are playing his arrangement of this tune in the title or in the "show more" part of your performance videos. It would be a nice posthumous tribute to his many contributions to modern classical guitar. I see that someone else suggested this about 6 months ago and I'm just adding my thoughts to theirs. Thanks, and please don't take offense. I met Roland once and was enchanted by him. e.

Such a rich palette of sounds, rhythmic and dynamic effects, all refreshed with washes of chromaticism, like the sorbet between courses, and Jobim's music is the winner. A stunning player with a feast of an arrangement. Delicious. Hungry for more.

Beautiful! A fast play with the tints of Stephanie Jones! Greetings from Brazil!

[PabloGonzalez-imjw]

Bravo to Roland Dyens for arranging this and to you for the performance

[gloellerCO]

I absolutely adore Jobim and this interpretation is so very interesting. I enjoyed it.

[ДаниярРи]

This is really good performance, but you should put in the descrition that is the R. Dyens arrangement

[Hagai-Rehavia-fingerstyle]

Amazing playing. where is the credit for the Genius arranger Roland Dynes???

[lucertola]

Fantastic playing with the best sound quality of all Stephanie's YT output.

[rrrosecarbinela]

Muito legal! Really love Jobim. And Stephanie is absolutely brilliant. Eccellente, bella riproduzione!

[CAGED]

There is nothing that Stephanie Jones can't do! 👏

[pigi]

Bravissima, but why not mention Roland Dyens, the author of this marvellous arrangement?
Roma Expo Guitar ti meriti una tirata di orecchie...

[PierrePage-wjii]

YES! You nailed it! That was just great! Thank you for sharing!
