Jobim

Antonio Carlos Jobim, (1927 - 1994)

The weather is finally starting to feel like spring again, which puts me in the mood for Antonio Carlos Jobim. The sounds of nylon string guitars, samba rhythms and beautifully sung language of portuguese, for me is the soundtrack of summer. Bossa Nova (which is Portuguese for “new trend”) has a swaying feel. The rhythm is what makes the music so seductive. The perfect bridge between Jazz and latin.


Tom Jobim - Wave

Jobim always surrounded himself with remarkable singers such as Regina Elis. The classic collaboration "Aguas de Marco" is a standard for all Brazilian singers. Elis was in her top shape in 1974 when the album was recorded.

"My music owes a lot to mountains, to the sea, to beaches, to birds and, of course we can't forget, to Brazilian women who are also part of the ecology…" -Antonio Carlos Jobim
