Joe Beck: There was a club called Chuck’s Compository. It was the first stop when anybody came from Brazil. That included Sergio Mendes, who ended up sleeping on my couch for a month. Jobim was there and Joao Gilberto was already living in New York at that point, but I got to know him very well and ended up playing with his wife Astrud on the road for a long time. That little gig in NY was the jumping off point for what happened to me in subsequent years.
