The verse melody in this Jobim gem is actually made up of two notes and for a song that repeats notes heavily, it’s actually a blast to play. That’s helped by the fact that the chords are constantly moving and the bridge is startlingly different. Stan Getz first popularized the song in the 1960’s and many more musicians have discovered it since then. “One Note Samba” should be seen as more than a novelty tune and can really change a set up.
