How Insensitive

[Antônio Carlos Jobim Norman Gimbel Vinicius de Moraes]

A song that sounds way simpler than it really is, “How Insensitive” draws from classical music harmonically and is beautifully crafted. The melody doesn’t move around much, staying within one octave, and can prove tricky to learn well. Most versions – like the one here - follow the original Bossa Nova approach.
