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 who wrote that he had no talent and certainly no sense of pitch!
