Song 469 ( Quincy Jones - Soul Bossa Nova )

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VNcx826QL._SL500_AA280_.jpg

I have actually been thinking about choosing this song for a time now and after hearing it during a Quincy Jones interview yesterday on the television it seemed excellent for today. This song has gained immense popularity due to its use on the Austin Powers films and as a consequence it has been tied to/with the movie in most peoples' minds.
However, this song is actually quite complex, especially in the brass and rhythm sections. What really stands out for me is Rahssan Roland Kirk's amazing flute playing.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
