Free Music Notes for Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour
Free Music Review: SOME OF HIS JOBIM'S BEST
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD covers all of Jobim's greatest tunes. A large chunk are instrumentals and with Claus Ogerman charts they are very smooth and relaxing. These songs have far more depth and beauty to them than they appear to have at first glance.Overall, Jobim was better at composing and playing guitar than at singing plus I prefer the more lush orchestra sound over a small combo.
Finally, this CD it also provides a good time span and variety of Jobim's music (63-86).
If you're JOBIM fan, this is a great point to start at.
Free Music Review: Get Getz/Gilberto or Composer of Desafinado Plays
Hit: 1 Stars
This compilation here is a not-very-imaginative rehash of previously released material. The reason I gave it one star is not cause it['s bad], but because ALL of the songs here one can get in more attractive/comprehensive packages, such as: "Getz/Gilberto" (a masterpiece), "Composer of Desafinado Plays" (a cool record) or "The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook" compilation from Verve, which is really cool. So there! If you are really interested in Antonio Brasileiro, skip this one and go for the real deal.Free Music Review: Music from the heart
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a big Bossa Nova fan, so the quality of this CD was no surprise. I have to say though, that the collection offers the best of Jobim. The music is slow, lazy and full of feeling. One of the biggest advanatges--the majority of the lyrics are in Portugese, which for me leaves the melody and voice be the driving power behind the songs.
Excellent!
Free Music Review: Classy, groovy, relaxing
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this CD for the song "Girl from Ipanema", which I have always considered the ultimate elevator music. So the purchase was kind of a joke, but I have been listening to this mellow, relaxing disk all the way through because its so much fun. Low key, quiet, groovy - its the perfect background music. And it adds a touch of class to the room.Another great track, "Insensatez", is an instrumental that evokes a melancholy aire, again with that classy Brazilian beat and some great '60s string arrangements. You won't be able to resist it.
