Retrato em Branco e Preto

Twenty-eight chords and sixteen different scales across eight tonal centres. That's one of the highest densities in the library: roughly every two chords the ground under your feet changes.

Chico's lyric is about repeating a mistake knowing it's a mistake. Jobim's harmony does the same to an improviser: the tune returns to places that look alike but ask for different readings, and a player trusting memory gets it wrong again.
