Antonio Carlos Jobim Music

Jobim Recorded this album immediately after finishing another recording session with Frank Sinatra called; "Francis Albert Sinatra / Antonio Carlos Jobim" a definite 5 star album.

In "A certain Mr. Jobim" ACJ delivers a perfect relaxing Bossa Nova Brazilian Jazz album with himself on vocals; A Spine chilling romantic recording that deserves a good glass of wine and a relaxing romantic evening.

Not his best recording but well worth being in everyone's Bossa Nova music collection

Like white bread and mayonnaise, this CD has no Brazilian flavor whatsoever. These songs are examples of Jobim works devoid of the essential Jobim. Don't waste your money.

I had originally ordered the CD here, supposedly all sung by Joyce. However, I received "Les plus belles chansons de AC Jobin & V de Moraes." 14 songs, only 2 sung by Joyce. It was nice music but not what was expected (the seller issued a refund). When I checked on the Amazon site further, I see that there are at least 2 tributes to Jobim and Moraes sung by different people, including Joyce. There is also 1, maybe more CDs of just Joyce singing songs by those composers. Some of these CDs have almost the same cover art on the Amazon site, others have no cover art shown, so you can't go just by that.

This is just a note to carefully check the listing of song tracks, and emails sellers beforehand to confirm if necessary. It's all great music, but it's more complicated than it looks to get exactly the CD you want in this case! :-)

Every piece on this album is strikingly original. In fact, I have purchased 4 other albums from the artists on this CD just to hear more of what they have to offer! Should appeal to lovers of world music, jazz and classical.

This CD is a real classic among enthusiasts of Late 20th Century Music. It offers jazz, contemporary, and even minimalist genres of music. John Somebody started out as my favorite selection from this CD many years ago, as it makes a good example of spoken word turned into music. In addition, the Philip Glass selections make a wonderful introduction to his music. I could go on and on about all of the music on this Sampler, as all of it is excellent.

I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is either an enthusiast of late 20th century music or anyone who is curious. My disclaimer, however, comes in that this is not for someone who is not open to new things. Some of the music on this CD can be like an acquired taste. In the meantime, enjoy!
