Monica Zetterlund - Corcovado

...with Bill Evans, Chuck Israels and Larry Bunker. This is from a Swedish produced programme sent on Norwegian television called "Monicas allra bästa". Originally broadcast in 1965 on a show called "En stunds jazz", it was thought to have been lost forever, but some genious thankfully found it in SVT's archives

It is not good and it is not fantastic.

It wasn't perfect and it wasn't sublime and harmonic.

It is beyond all that, Monica was divine and her singing blissfully angelic.

Monica and Eva Cassidy are probably singing together on a cloud in heaven right now.

i guess the madonna that you are so fuming against is not madonna the pop singer but the mother of god. its a methapor.

[KasiaGliwski]

she was beautiful and she sang so well: in a simple and soft way. Very pleasant to listen.

Fantastic woman, very good singer in her simple and authentic way, Monica Z is really perfect in Waltz for Debby, and very very good in Corcovado with Bill E.

For me this piece is a surprise: never had heard Bill playing Jobim, that is my preferite composer. Great video...its a pity I dont understand swedish language.

A kiss to Monica and a hug to the great Bill. Perhaps in the "other" world they are still together playing or singing great music.

[Sextietta]

.... the rest on my channel is an eclectic mix of all different styles of music. The only common denominator is that it is all extremely good and well performed, except for very few exceptional pieces which might have landed there for different reasons all together.

If you do not approve of it that is totally acceptable to me. If you take the time and listen to it maybe your ears and your soul will discover something new.

@Sextietta

Monica would on those heavenly clouds outsing most! I dare say she was not too far from Billie or Ella as a mix!

I appprove of your liking her, but the rest on your channel...

That she had the voice of a Madonna is a BRUTE INSULT. She was way, way above that! For fuck's sake you just have to LISTEN! Monica's voice was unique. A rare gem!
