Wave (1967) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

When Creed Taylor left Verve/MGM for his own label under the auspices of A&M, he quickly signed Antonio Carlos Jobim and they picked up right where they left off with this stunningly seductive record, possibly Jobim's best. Jobim contributes his sparely rhythmic acoustic guitar, simple melodic piano style, a guest turn at the harpsichord, and even ...

Red Hot + Rio

Red Hot + Rio (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

Now this is an interesting project; Brazilian standards and newly-composed music interpreted or transfigured by the old masters, rock stars and cutting-edge '90s musicians - with all the proceeds going to fight the spread of AIDS. What is so remarkable about this album is how wholeheartedly the younger musicians relate to the cruising Brazilian ...

Girl from Ipanema: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook (1962) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

The first of several tribute albums issued just after Antonio Carlos Jobim's death, this one generally sticks to his most famous songs as interpreted by several Brazilian and American artists from PolyGram's archives. Jobim himself appears on such obvious choices as the best-selling Stan Getz, João Gilberto, and Astrud Gilberto hit "The Girl from ...

Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Verve continues their Finest Hour series with Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour, a 17-song collection highlighting the bossa nova pioneer's singing and songwriting. "Insensatez," "Corcovado," "The Girl From Ipanema," "Desafinado," and other definitive tracks make this set entertaining, if not comprehensive. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

The Composer of Desafinado, Plays (1963) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

In his first American album, Antonio Carlos Jobim presents a dozen of his songs, each one destined to become a standard -- an astounding batting average. Jobim, who claimed to have been out of practice at the time of the session, merely plays single notes on the piano with one hand, punctuated by chords now and then, sticking to his long, ...

The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim

The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim (1965) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Unlike his debut, Jobim's second LP for the American market was strictly a pop album, with the composer himself singing, while the arranging/conducting chores were placed in the capable hands of Nelson Riddle. What promises to be an excellent collaboration, however, doesn't quite turn out, and the results are much more bland than could be expected ...

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Pieced together from various albums to showcase what a remarkably consistent songwriter and performer Antonio Carlos Jobim was, Hip-O's 20th Century Masters - The Best of Antonio Carlos Jobim opens with two of Jobim's compositions from Stan Getz and João Gilberto's quintessential bossa nova record, Getz/Gilberto, before threading through his own ...

Compact Jazz: Antonio Carlos Jobim

Compact Jazz: Antonio Carlos Jobim (1991) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

One of the first CD compilations of Jobim's music, yet it doesn't scrimp on the time too much (nearly an hour) and it hits mostly all the right marks. The selection varies between Jobim's versions of his compositions (taken mostly from the 1963 The Composer of Desafinado Plays album), the Stan Getz versions that brought them to America's attention ...

Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve

Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve (1959) more music like this

by Various Artists

In the hope that Red Hot + Rio would ignite interest in Brazilian music within the X-Generation, Verve simultaneously released a historical survey with similar cover art, similar noise interludes between tracks, and occasionally, the same tunes (do not be confused!). Although some of the same old stuff reissued a thousand times before is here (the ...

by Stan Getz/Antonio Carlos Jobim

Compiling all the major hits that legendary jazz alto saxophonist Stan Getz had with Brazilian songwriter and vocalist Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stan Getz/Antonio Carlos Jobim: Their Greatest Hits is a nice single-disc collection. While there are deeper double-disc anthologies available, Their Greatest Hits is a perfect summation of what made the '60s ...

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Recorded in 1970 at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in New Jersey under the production auspices of Creed Taylor, the arrangement and conducting skills of Deodato, and the engineering expertise of Van Gelder himself, Jobim's Stone Flower is quite simply one of his most quietly stunning works -- and certainly the high point of his time at Columbia. Nearly ...

Compact Jazz: Best of Bossa Nova

Compact Jazz: Best of Bossa Nova (1987) more music like this

by Various Artists

Ah, boss nova American style: a sea of white dinner jackets shimmying to Getz, poolside. Beyond images from many a bossa soundtracked ?60s movie, though, the music itself was something to behold. Teaching jazz a bit more about it's already graceful mien, bossa nova found its most regal stateside purveyor in Stan Getz. Getz's classic work with both ...

Passport to Brazil (2000) more music like this

by Various Artists

Perhaps attempting to capitalize on the new popularity of Brazilian music on the heels of the film Bossa Nova, this six song compilation is culled from the A&M/CTI recordings that were post mortem to the mid-'60s bossa "craze." A different arrangement (by Deodato) of the Getz/Gilberto hit, "Girl From Ipanema" by Antonio Carlos Jobim himself is ...

Samba & Bassa Nova: The Gold Collection (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

Fine Tune's Samba & Bossa Nova: The Gold Collection is hardly a definitive overview of samba or bossa nova, nor should it be seen as an introduction to either genre. Instead, view it as an affordable sampler of the two styles, and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Not every performance is a classic, and several are subpar live tracks, but with cuts ...

Em Minas ao Vivo: Piano e Voz (2006) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Brazil's greatest songwriter, Antonio Carlos Jobim, admittedly preferred working in the shadows of the recording studio to the openness of the concert stage, and although, during the earlier part of his career he dutifully stepped out to perform his compositions, by the late 1960s and '70s he had become a more reclusive figure. The 1980 death of ...

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

This 23-track collection of Jobim bossa nova material is beautifully assembled and remastered on England's Wrasse label. The contents of this package are for the most part classics with few surprises, but the sequencing and the accent on vocal performances is attractive. The songs range from 1963's "O Morro Não Tem Vez," with Astrud Gilberto, and ...

by Astrud Gilberto with Antonio Carlos Jobim

Astrud Gilberto became an accidental success when her fragile command of English made her the de facto choice to sing "The Girl from Ipanema" at a session led by Stan Getz and her husband, João Gilberto. Of course, despite its overwhelming success, it wasn't clear that she could sustain a career when she recorded her first solo LP, The Astrud ...
