Can anyone tell me the name of the bossa nova that Martin Taylor plays on the second half of this video?

Thanks,

Jack

If having a good name makes such a good player, I'm changing mine to
Gibson Fender, or perhaps, Guild Gretsch.

Hi Bob,

I don't know if we're still talking about the same tune, but what I
heard was clearly "My Funny Valentine". The harmonies and even the
melody were very faithful to the tune, so there's no mistaking it.

don't change a hair for me, not if you care for me,
Bobby

Hi Bob,
Yes, definitely My Funny Valentine (iTunes has it mislabeled was all I was saying - they've got it flipped with Just Squeeze Me).

I'm not going to listen again. The first time I did, there's no way that's the tune.

If you don't hear "My Funny Valentine" there, then you don't know "My
Funny Valentine".

best,
Bobby

Alright, Bob,I was wrong. There were so many breaks on the transmission on my pc, I must have missed the part that gave the tune it's character.

However, I must say that the playing was good but I won't buy that for a song like "My Funny Valentine" which has to be played like a sad ballad should be played.

Sorry folks for the anxiety.

NO anxiety here, but I did go to the horse's mouth for confirmation. The horse in question sez, "Martin Taylor Mbe commented on your link.
Martin wrote: "Hi Zeek, Yes it's My Funny valentine, but I played around with it a lot" So, there you have it. He did play around with a lot and left out some things too, that's what threw me. Betcha he hasn't played it exactly that way since, either. ;)
