Description
If it’s true that Brazilian singer and guitarist João Gilberto is ‘The Father of Bossa Nova’, then surely Antonio Carlos Jobim must be its Godfather.
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, undulating melodies with a few passages of jazz improvisation now and then. Yet it is a lovely idea, not a gesture is wasted. Arranger Claus Ogerman unveils many of the trademarks that would define his Creed Taylor-produced albums with Jobim - the soaring, dying solo flute and spare, brooding unison string lines widening into lush harmony; flutes doubling on top of Jobim's piano chords - again with an exquisitely spare touch. The result is this five-star collection of Jobim’s standards, all instrumentals beautifully crafted with Ogerman’s strings and Jobim’s guitar and piano play. This is a wonderful album, easily one of Jobim's very best. ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM The Composer of Desafinado, Plays 1963 - CD - 320Kbps  Tracklist: 01. The Girl From Ipanema 02.
