One of the most underrated pianists---count myself lucky to have heard him live, and and his brothers. Between them, Hank and brothers Elvin and Thad manage to create some of the finest examples of the modern improvisational form.
How beautiful. Oscar Peterson and Herbie Hancock also expored Wave. For me Jobim, as with Monk or Ellington, at the keyboard is the interpreter of his own music and others absorb his tunes into their own styles.
