Jobim-All Star Tribute (with Alex Acuna) (DVD) - Product Information
Direct from Brazil comes this deeply appreciative musical tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994), co-founder and leading composer of the bossa nova.
With over four hundred songs to his credit, Jobim virtually singlehandedly brought the bossa nova to the world, where it became a staple ingredient in the jazz cookbook. Jobim's new sound adapted the rhythmic variety and percussive excitement of the samba to the intimacy of syncopated guitar, while echoing the melodies and harmonies of cool jazz.
Composer of such standards as Girl from Ipanema, Desafinado, No More Blues, One Note Samba, Wave and Dindi, Jobim in inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 1991.
