Free Music Notes for Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour
Free Music Review: Push Time Back II
Hit: 5 Stars
I completely concur with Miguel Hernandez!
This music reminds me of my childhood times when my father played the Beautiful Music station FM 100 in Chicago - especially "Wave."
Jobim is a master of melody and rhythm.
Highly recommended for your collection.

Just the thing to put on if you're having Jill St. John (or Robert Morse, ladies) over for cocktails.
Listen to the above samples for the feel, but the CD's stereo mix and lush sound far exceed the streaming quality heard here.
Wonderful period stuff.
Free Music Review: Push time back... mind up.
Hit: 5 Stars
I got this album not by a store nor a friend; but by chance. Suddenly I started to listen to songs my dad was used to play when I was little kid. I got those memories of soft and magical music like being in a paradise, flowers, great meadows... ...when you are a little boy, you can imagine really great things. This excellent album; played by its great composer, can put you there; as it does to me... again.Free Music Review: good purchase
Hit: 4 Stars
first, it is well prices, and it is just what I expected. its a little generic after listening to it for a while. So I think this is not the "listening" kind of music, but its more like working/background music. Maybe i was expecting too much!Free Music Review: Timeless Tunes For Any Time

Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour is an excellent collection of jazz bossanova recordings by one of the leaders of the bossanova sound. Jobim's solo and accompaniment with vocalist Astrud Gilberto and legendary saxophonist, Stan Getz, offers a melodic and sensuous effect to his lush Brazilian sound. The cd's crispsness makes the recordings timeless, but not without a thought of 1960s cocktail sounding nostalgia (dependent on your age, these are tunes you heard your father play on the good ol' hi-fi system). The songs make you imagine you're on a beach with the palm trees gently swaying back and forth, or simply lounging on the patio listening to tracks, such as the all too familiar, "The Girl From Impanema," my favorite version of "Meditation," or the delicious hipster trappings of "Desfinado" with Getz's exceptional sax solo.
Finest Hour will not disappoint those listeners looking for the quiet jazz sounds that whisper in your ear or simply let you relax. So, grab yourself a copy, and while you're at it, mix a cocktail or two and add one of those little umbrellas.
