Free Music Review: Tom Jobim- Claus Ogerman- Creed Taylor 5 Star Collaboration
Hit: 5 Stars
It is undeniably true that the best Tom Jobim was recorded under Creed Taylor production on Verve ("The Composer Plays") and for Taylor's CTI, including this "Wave" - both blessed by Claus Ogerman arrangements, the same maestro who's worked with Bill Evans in the now-Jazz classic "Symbiosis". This is also a must-have in any serious Bossa Nova collection.Free Music Review: Nothing less than a masterpiece.
Hit: 5 Stars
This album will always hold a special place in my heart as it accompanied me to college in the early 1970s. I would play it in the listening room with headphones on--over and over, again. Little did I realize back then how important or significant Brazilian music would become in my life.This album is one of Claus Ogerman's arranging BEST, by far. Each track is a jewel; my favorites being "Look to the Sky" and "Antigua". Having it on CD is a godsend after these years of hearing it with surface noise. Jobim's piano playing is masterful and just the way I like piano played--mostly single notes with a light, delicate touch. Though it's an overused cliche, this album IS a classic and belongs in every jazz or Brazilian music lover's collection.
Incidentally, the credits for the drums/percussion listing on the album are incorrect and have never been amended, even for the CD versions (import or U.S.). Claudio Slon is the sole drummer on the entire album and Romao/Rosengarden are percussionists only. This was confirmed for me by Claudio Slon himself when I began work on his discography.
Free Music Review: Incredibly mellow but sophisticated at the same time

For a one disc collection, this is probably the best place to start with Jobim. If you already are a fan, spring for the beautiful 3 CD collection The Man from Ipanema which has many more songs on it, all in an incredibly designed box set. If you like bossa nova, you must add this CD to your collection as it is a pivotal one for the whole bossa nova genre. It just keeps growing on you.Free Music Review: ECSTATIC

It was a real treat to see some others appreciate the music of Tom Jobim. Wave was my first intro to jazz through a friend of mine in high school and so my first purchase was Wave in the Red cover which I still have and treasure. My all time favorite piece of music. Every song is wonderful with "Red Blouse" as my favorite.Free Music Review: The album that defines bossa nova
Hit: 5 Stars
I first bought this album on vinyl, shortly it was released, already being a fan of Jobim. I played the grooves off of it. Now, I have it in CD. It's doubtful anyone in the world has played and listened to this album more than I have over the years. The appeal is threefold: First, Jobim's music is relentlessly upbeat and mood elevating. There is a happiness and joy which never fails to make your outlook on life better. Second, the music is relaxing. It cuts through tension and removes the stress and aggravation of everyday living. Third, it's rhythmic. Brazilian beats are recognized as the most expressive and soul-moving in the world. If these rhythms don't get your body subtly moving, you'll need life supports! If you don't know Jobim or haven't listened to Brazilian Bossa Nova, start here! Jobim is the undisputed, heavyweight champion of the genre and THIS album is at the absolute top of his work. Do NOT miss it!
