Earlier I bemoaned the fact that there was not a complete version of this haunting, dreamy version of “The Girl from Ipanema” by Martina DeSilva and Adam Neely.

From the album Larry Coryell And Emily Remler Together (1985).
The Girl from Ipanema (Antônio Carlos Jobim) covered by Flor da Saudade with the golden voice of Martina DaSilva.
I can’t identify the other musicians. Martina DaSilva came to my attention when I watched this fascinating musical breakdown of the song by Adam Neely:

UPDATE: AzsaturnDX provided a link to Adam Neely’s complete audio version at this link. This is going to be the definitive version of tGfI for me.
