| ulibcn (Barcelona Spain) | Posted: May 31, 2008 - 16:33 Very nice songs, all these Jobim pieces. Although... the appeal of Astrud Gilberto's voice has always escaped me. So shallow, so inexpressive, so boring... I guess more than her quality as a singer it's the memory of a truely golden age of music. |

| lathyris (Houston, TX) | Posted: Dec 26, 2007 - 07:25 Jobim has got to be the most underrepresented artist on RP. His collection is vast and revolutionary -- I say we need more! |

| coyote620 | Posted: Oct 24, 2007 - 12:09 simply a masterpiece. |
| pmnixa (Rochester, MN) | Posted: Oct 24, 2007 - 12:09 This song is a perfect example of why I adore RP. Never heard of the artist or song (gasp!) but absolutely love it. |

| Saliby_Br (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) | Posted: Mar 18, 2007 - 15:32 Tom Jobim was a master, he created Bossa Nova.  |
| coloradojohn (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan -- 15 min. west of Shinjuku, center of the freaking Universe) | Posted: Mar 02, 2007 - 23:58 Yeah, always a fave. That purring Portuguese, that oddly-syncopated Brazilian sound, that hauntingly happy music, so evocative of a bygone era -- but as always, timeless whenever heard. More of this, of Joa and Astrud, too, anytime, please, Bill! |
| celadonstone (Southeast of the USA) | Posted: Feb 15, 2007 - 07:43 DAMNIT! Just missed another fave while doing something else and had the volume turned down. I love bossa nova. 
Thankfully I have Astrud Gilberto's CD in my car.I'll probably add this one. |
| the_bink (The Golden Horseshoe (4,179 km east of Paradise)) | Posted: Feb 15, 2007 - 07:41 Amost so good that it made me forget that it's -20C outside, and that we just had 70cm of snow. Almost. |

But the combination of Gilberto's guitar and smooth voice and the incredible sound of Paul Desmond's sax.......good stuff.
I grew up listening to this album, my folks being ensnared by the late 50's Bossanova craze. The irony of this post is that "Corcovado" is from the same album, Getz/Gilberto, that is "Girl From Ipanema". And it's Stan Getz's sax. Jobim plays piano and Joao Gilberto guitar. I also grew up with this stuff--from the early '60s actually--courtesy of my father's enthusiasm before it was overtaken by Beatlemania. I still have his Verve mono LPs. |

| Smoove_D (Milwaukee) | Posted: Jan 31, 2007 - 12:55 Try the version on The Essential Stan Getz. I think it's better. But this one still gets an 8. |
| MylenerHead (Somewhere In the South) | Posted: Jan 31, 2007 - 12:55 This not only makes me sway in my seat as I listen, but it entices my soul to sway also.... |
| SmackDaddy | Posted: Jan 31, 2007 - 12:54 One of my favorite songs, but not digging Antonio's voice on it. |
| godspeed (Heaven) | Posted: Jan 16, 2007 - 21:59 heaven... |
| dewhead (Lenoir City, TN) | Posted: Jan 02, 2007 - 07:57 Very nice. Would be perfect for a springtime Sunday morning with the paper and a good cup of coffee. |

| Zep (Floating) | Posted: Dec 18, 2006 - 19:24 Outstanding. |
| kazuma (Austin, TX) | Posted: Dec 18, 2006 - 19:23 I needed to hear this tonight and I didn't even know it. And I've never heard it before either. I hear odd echoes of Donald Fagen's "New Frontier" ... which, I assume, probably came out long after this did. |
| dreadpixie | Posted: Dec 04, 2006 - 05:31 Thanks for a great song to go with my morning cup of tea. Still waking up over here. |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Dec 04, 2006 - 05:31 Is this RP's jazz hour? The last two tracks got a 2, this is a 1 - looks like RP's on a bad run right now from my viewpoint :( |

| bindi (North Carolina) | Posted: Aug 23, 2006 - 18:51 Is that Astrud Gilberto singing with him? Love her voice, whoever it is. Great tune! |
| AliGator (Home) | Posted: Aug 23, 2006 - 18:51 I know this song from the AIDS benefit compilation, Red Hot + Rio. This version is quite a bit mellower.  |

| Johnny_Wave (California, baby) | Posted: Aug 23, 2006 - 18:48 Cool choice, diggin it |
| bobrk (Beautiful Downtown San Jose) | Posted: Aug 23, 2006 - 18:47 I think this is the wrong album. It should be Getz/Gilberto featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim. It's the same album that has Girl from Ipanema. I listened to it daily for many years. Here it is: (click here) |
| lathyris (Austin, TX) | Posted: Jul 25, 2006 - 12:28 Aww yeah! Thanks for this -- Jobim is magnificent. Check out Wave; the entire album is classic. |
| hippiechick | Posted: Jul 25, 2006 - 12:28 Brazilian music instantly transforms me to a hammock under a tree with a mojito in my hand. |
