Benjamin Biolay and co-author Keren Ann Zeidel made a name for themselves when French music vet Henri Salvador covered their bossa-chanson Jardin d'Hiver in 2002. Both Ben and Keren recorded the song themselves too, and Keren duetted with Henri for a radioshow. But I had no idea the song was some kind of standard nowadays. Recently, Canadian actress Ima (pictured) added a version to the impressive list of artists who covered the song, that features jazzpiano-bigshot Jacky Terrasson, his jazzy collegues Vincent Malone and the Getz-y Jim Tomlinson (who records with American fille Stacey Kent, what a great voice!), Brazilians Bia and Rosa Passos and even a kitschy accordeonist called Alain Morisod.
Can someone mail me the version by Sonia Andrade ?

A few years ago, listening to FIP on the Mac I used to download the small picture of the album cover. Take a sheet full of those images and walk into the FNAC. With a sales person, scout around for those particular discs. Then off to UPS and post them back home .
