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 ...

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, ...

Quiet Now: Nights of Quiet Stars (1999) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Antonio Carlos Jobim's Quiet Now: Nights of Quiet Stars is probably the most successful entry in this series of Polygram reissues, because the Brazilian composer's music is so blissfully suited to compilations that focus on the gentle, romantic side of jazz. Perhaps it's his sleepy, low-key voice, which makes Perry Como sound like Darby Crash, or ...

Getz Plays Jobim: The Girl from Ipanema (2002) more music like this

by Stan Getz

Simply put, here are the most successful 14 cuts covering two years in the collaboration between Stan Getz and Antonio Carlos Jobim, during which both men became accustomed to having hit singles. Unfortunately, only one of them got to ride that horse for the rest of the decade -- in the United States, anyway. Nonetheless, this material marks the ...

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 ...

Jazz Samba Encore! [Bonus Tracks] (1994) more music like this

by Stan Getz/Luiz Bonfa

Here's some more bossa nova from Stan Getz when the bloom was still on the first Brazilian boom. This time, however, on his third such album, Getz relies mostly upon native Brazilians for his backing. Thus, the soft-focused grooves are considerably more attuned to what was actually coming out of Brazil at the time. Two bona fide giants, Antonio ...

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 ...

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 ...
