Everything about those Verve Bossa Nova records was sublime, from the music to the album covers. If you're ever in L.A. check out Amoeba Records on Sunset and Cahuenga; they have always have at least one copy of each of those (and almost anything you're looking for, really).

Going back to Toots, I just now recalled that he lent his talents - harmonica and whistling - to what I consider to be one of the great, underappreciated films of the '70s: Chilly Scenes of Winter. Really captures the feeling of unrequited love (happens to all of us, right?).
