The Composer of Desafinado, Plays

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, ...

Best of Al Jarreau [Warner Bros.]

Best of Al Jarreau [Warner Bros.] (1996) more music like this

by Al Jarreau

This is one intelligently programmed greatest-hits album, for after leading with two fine, new 1996 tracks, "Compared to What" and "Goodhands Tonight," the CD actually becomes a cogent chronological account of Jarreau's 20 years with the label -- and a most revealing one at that. Early Latin-flavored tracks from the mid-'70s, like "Agua de Beber," ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album

The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album (1991) more music like this

by Astrud Gilberto

Astrud Gilberto has never been properly anthologized by Verve Records; although they've released a number of compilations over the years, none of them have been definitive, and most of them have been rather skimpy. 1987's The Silver Collection, originally released only in Europe but later imported to North America, is an idiosyncratic selection. ...

A Twist of Jobim

A Twist of Jobim (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

The debut release from the I.E. label (which is connected with Polygram) is an unusual multi-artist tribute to the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim. Some of his tunes are made funky (but in a melodic and tasteful way), while others become quiet (but still passionate) ballads. The treatments are all jazz-oriented, and there is plenty of solo space for ...

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

Brasilidade (2001) more music like this

by Bossacucanova & Roberto Menescal

For '90s artists ranging from Japanese loungesters Pizzicato 5 to techno producer Ian Pooley, the fluid, effortless music of Brazil has acted as both an influence and a spur for their own music-making. The Bossacucanova trio not only retranslates its native Brazilian music back into a contemporary setting with programming and mixing, but adds ...

Plays Jobim (2002) more music like this

by Charlie Byrd

When guitarist Charlie Byrd scored big on Stan Getz's Jazz Samba in 1962, he found a niche that served him well for the next 35 years. Byrd, however, no more invented bossa nova than Getz. Instead, both men proved masterful interpreters of a music defined by composers like Antonio Carlos Jobim. Plays Jobim represents a marriage of style and vision ...

The Man from Ipanema (1963) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Issued nearly a year after Jobim's death, this three-CD set is ground zero, the place to start if you don't have any Jobim in your collection or for anyone who wants a single package of his multifaceted art. The set encompasses not only Jobim's own sporadic work for Verve from 1963 until his final 1994 Carnegie Hall concert and the two A&M albums ...

Favorites: Sun Sea and Sand (2006) more music like this

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 ...

Byrdland/More Brazilian Byrd (2001) more music like this

by Charlie Byrd

There is something immediately warm and accessible about Charlie Byrd's acoustic guitar. Byrdland, which was originally released in 1966, and More Brazilian Byrd, released in 1967, find Byrd playing two widely different sets. On the first, he is joined by bassist Joe Byrd, drummer Bill Reichenbach, trumpeter Hal Posey, and saxophonist Teo Macero. ...

Bossa Nova (1995) more music like this

by Ana Caram

After saluting Antonio Carlos Jobim's lesser-known songs on The Other Side of Jobim, Ana Caram turned to his more famous work with equally splendid results on Bossa Nova. Jobim had recently died when she recorded the CD in January 1995, and the singer/guitarist felt that another tribute was in order. While Other Side purposely avoided standards, ...

Brazilian Heart (1985) more music like this

by April Aloisio

April Aloisio is a soft-toned vocalist whose sensuous and cool voice is perfect for bossa-nova. Half of the tunes on her impressive disc are in that genre and she proves that she can also sing straightahead jaz and scat quite effectively too. Aloisio is featured in a wide variety of settings from the 1985-94 period yet the program has a strong ...

Along with Verve's equally fine Silver Collection of Gilberto's prime sides, this 16-track set includes cuts from most of the singer's different projects.
