Little research from my memories put all those videos together.... Watch and, probably, be inspired.
And i even don't know whose composition or interpretation is better.
Anyway, i'm happy to see that sometimes it's worth to study classical and jazz to see the interaction.

Insensitez - "How Insensitive" in English, although the Portuguese word really means 'absurdity' or 'folly') is a bossa nova, jazz standart composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim, loosely based on Frederic Chopin's Prelude No.4 .

I would suggest to start with this speach and then watch everything else - it just helps get more... emotional about it. :) )
