I’m about to play GFI for my 87-yo mother who has dementia. It is her favorite tune! Reworking a solo jazz guitar arrangement. Your presentation is timely WRT to getting the clave rhythm and bass line correct.

Another one of my classic favorites. I guess I’m far from alone. Now I have to go listen to that original recording again, listening to the clave it dances around. Thanks much!

Thank you very much for your brilliant analysis.

Another wonderful video Pete. How can someone not love The Girl From Ipanema? I wasn't really aware of the clave until watching "In the heights", but now love the rhythm and you do hear it quite a bit in songs.
