Antônio Carlos Jobim

Good morning.

Today we’re listening to Antônio Carlos Jobim, a Brazilian composer, pianist, and guitarist. Considered a co-creator of bossanova music, Jobim wrote many of that genre’s standards including “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Desafinado,” and “Águas de Março.” We’re re-upping the 1963 album The Composer of “Desafinado” Plays, on which Jobim plays several of his popular compositions with an orchestra. But first we’re playing 1967’s Wave, a collection of cool bossanova instrumentals led by guitar and piano.
