Loved the interview, Bob! However, the included version of "Falling in Love with Love" is from Eddie's 1994 album "Real Time" and not from 1966 album "First Prize".(BTW, I prefer the earlier version).
Great interview, interesting to hear that Eddie played a W.T Link, but as regards the money from The girl from Ipanema session: 'The extent of the financial injustice is made clear in Ruy Castro’s 2003 book Bossa Nova: The Story of the Brazilian Music That Seduced the World. Castro details that João Gilberto received $23,000 for his work on the album. Getz got the lion’s share of money for the album, estimated by some to be nearly a million dollars. Getz earned so much from its success that he immediately bought a 23-room “Gone With the Wind-style mansion” in Irvington, New York. As for poor Astrud Gilberto, she was paid a relative pittance for turning millions of people on to jazz and the rhythms of Brazil. The woman “responsible for the record’s international success” (in Castro’s words) earned only what the American musicians’ syndicate paid for a night of session work: $120.'
Bob thanks you, @leanmchungry for his continuing interest . Bob said to tell you that "I knew that Stan had made the lion’s share of the money but I had not known how little poor Astrid was paid." Best wishes. - Jessy Kaiser
