I completely refuse to enter the conversation from whence this
sentence emerged.
However, I have been engrossed in a fabulous book entitled "Bossa
Nova" by Ruy Castro, and ever since beginning it, I've been puzzled as
to how to pronounce Joćo Gilberto's first name, as I'm not completely
versed in Portuguese pronunciation. Since his name has come up, would
someone who knows please let me know? (It's been driving me crazy).
