This 1981 live concert by the Brazilian bossa nova master was his first in 20 years, and was dedicated to his writing partner Vinicius De Moraes, who had died less than a year before. Accompanying himself on piano, Jobim's frail, melancholy vocals give this program of his best known songs, including "Desafinado," "Eu Nao Existo Sem Voce," and "Corcovado," an unusual air of stillness and gravity.

Global Rhythm (Publication) (p.47) - "Beginning to end it's a poignant, indeed extraordinary, performance."

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.
