Well done Luc.
If I can...
English lyrics make my ears cringe (the reason I don't like Astrud Yawning Gilberto).
Ms Daughter has a beautiful classy way of singing the final head, and a lovely Portuguese pronunciation, including that feared "R" (is she a Portuguese speaker?). What about scrapping the American neocolonialist part?
The backing track has two bars that I try to never play: the last root chord on the form is better skipped to go straight to the first one. Not much you can do on the BT, but keep it in mind with the band.
Harmonically there are different spellings of this tune. Often harmony parts in bossa tunes are written thinking of guitar voicings. It is worth spending some time in analyzing the chords.
Your playing is great. I would probably select a better reed. Also, with so many choruses to play, I would decide general directions beforehand.
Please let me know if my post is patronizing and/or annoying you and I will delete it.
