Sinatra  and Jobim  " This Happy Madness"

This is a 4 party collaboration.    Antonio Carlos Jobim wrote the  infectious bossa nova melody ; Gene Lees penned the  intriguingly sly lyrics; Claus Ogerman crafted the pulsating yet restrained arrangement  and Sinatra puts it all together. Music is certainly universal since this piece involved a Brazilian, a Canadian, a German and  an Italian American.
Would  that international relations  could be governed by the same spirit of collegiality.

  1. The second Jobim album was arranged by Deodato... Not Claus Ogerman.
