It's Disco Tuesday, so here's something completely different. I could do a Hiroshima post, since I have their 1980's output on HDD . But where would be the fun in that? Since I dance like a dazed Hippo, here's Antonio Carlos Jobim.

The title of this song actually could be sung by both a man or woman without changing the words for “Dindi” is a considered a form of extreme tenderness between couples. Not too many people attempted this song except for Frank Sinatra and Astrud Gilberto, both of whom contributed great performances. But this one, to my mind, has everything right: Riddle has this song set with great sincerity and Jobim makes the song into something more than what anyone else could think possib... MORE

This is another fine gem from this Riddle/Jobim partnership, the flutes and strings bringing in the sunshine in a very supportive way.

This is one of the best examples of how closely Jobim and Riddle worked with each other. Riddle’s orchestral accompaniment never overshadows Jobim, instead he gives the composer/singer one of great sparsely orchestrated counter melodies for which he was so well known.... MORE

The strings sit out on “Agua De Beber,“ capturing the quirky vocal line and a great sampling of the intimacy of the bossa sound as well as the wit of the composer’s own performance.

Riding high on the crest of the bossa nova craze during the 1960's, Antonio Carlos Jobim collaborated with the great arranger Nelson Riddle in 1965 on a recording which is valuable for it’s understanding of this most intimate of music styles. The strings are very impressionistically scored by Riddle to give one the idea of the seaside expanse with flutes and horns delicately balanced against the guitar, rhythm section and Jobim’s occasional off-pitch but never less than great...

The 1960's Bossa Nova movement in jazz became the new cross-over music with numerous popular music stars recording the catchy rhythms and quiet demeanor of this hybrid Brazilian music. Antonio Carlos Jobim was literally the high priest of the music form and recorded quite a few albums especially this one which was called “A Certain Mr. Jobim,” recorded in 1967 and arranged and conducted by Claus Ogerman. “Desafinado” or “Off-Key” was written by Jobim as an answer to critics w...

6Daniel Rogin's excellent post from earlier today about the Brazilian genre known as choro has put me in a Rio frame of mind. (Like that's anything surprising.) Antonio Carlos Jobim is a world away from choro, but he seems perfect for a summer-is-fading-away kind of night. I have made this post accessible by appending the English-language version of his "Fotografia." I really like his singing, technically risible though it may be. What appeals the most about it, I think, ... MORE
