Performer: Antonio Carlos Jobim
Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: A towering figure in the annals of bossa nova, Antonio Carlos Jobim composed some of the genre's best-known songs, most of which subsequently became popular standards recorded by an international array of artists. This sampler collects some of Jobim's finest work, including "Wave," the almost impossibly relaxed "Corcovado," and the classic "Desafinado," all of which define him as bossa nova's premier songwriter.
Antonio Carlos Jobim is one of the founding figures of bossa nova. Starting with his work with guitarist Joao Gilberto in the late 1950s ("Chega de Saudade," "Desafinado"), Jobim composed a string of unforgettable songs that combined subtle rhythms, modern harmony, and poetic lyrics, and which quickly found their way from Brazil to the rest of the world. His music has been performed and recorded by countless musicians, and by the time of his death in 1994, Jobim was widely regarded as one of the great composers of popular song.
