Recado Bossa Nova - Djalma Ferreira

[pdxdjazz]

This is the Recado chart I like best.
Here's why. It supports the descending "guide-tone" which starts at D and goes down chromatically a half-step every two bars, seven semitones in a row!
I added that harmony-line as "slash notes" to the alt. chord line above the bars so it would transpose with the chart.

I feel that's the true essence of the tune.

I've also seen it called The Gift,

and Cesar Swing.

Kinda reminds me a little of Hotel Calif. too.
