The Girl From Ipanema the first song the 18 year old Amy sang when she first went to Miami to record with Salaam. Salaam remarked that the way she re-interpreted this bossa nova classic made me realise that I was dealing with a very special talent. Her approach to the song was so young and fresh, it really inspired the rest of our sessions. Recorded in May 2002. Halftime Amy had talked to Ahmir Questlove Thompson of the Roots about working together. Halftime is a song that Amy and Salaam had worked on since the Frank sessions. The result is beautiful.
