Free Music Notes for Wave
Free Music Review: Jobim Music Marvellous - Sound Reproduction Poor.
Hit: 2 Stars
Hello Friends:
My title says it all.
The music of Jobim is unparralled. His beautiful songs desereve five stars.
However the quality of the sound is very poor. Possibly produced from old original recordings without sufficient modern technological correction and filtering. Very poor quality.
L.Roly Jobin.
Free Music Review: Everlasting
Hit: 5 Stars
Listen to the samples and you will not need anyone's comments. "Wave", "Tide", "Stone flower" and the rest of the albums with Jobim's music will live for ever. Smooth, relaxing, stylish.Free Music Review: Very Annoying
Hit: 1 Stars
This CD contains some of the most annoying muzac I have ever heard. All the songs sound pretty much the same... none without that put-me-right-to-sleep synthetic keyboard stuff. I was disappointed, I really was expecting to get alot of Brazilian flavor from this CD, it just didn't deliver for me.Free Music Review: A Wonderful Introduction to Bossa Nova and Jobim
Hit: 5 Stars
Although bossa nova was already known to the world with albums like Jazz Samba and Getz/Gilberto, this album (recorded in 1967 at Rudy Van Gelder's studio) helped establish Antonio Carlos Jobim himself as a known name. While Jazz Samba and Getz/Gilberto approach bossa nova with a smaller group, Wave has more of an emphasis on orchestration of stringed instruments, which is arranged beautifully by Claus Ogerman. However, instruments such as piano, bass, drums, and other percussion are still present.
Wave features instrumental versions of 10 Jobim originals, and each one is saturated with Brazilian bossa nova rhythms. Most of the songs on here are not jazz standards like "Girl From Ipanema" is. In fact, the only songs I would say are jazz standards are "Triste," "Wave" and maybe "Look to the Sky." So, this stands as a great introduction to the music of Jobim. It ao serves quite well as an introduction to bossa nova, as this was the first bossa nova album I ever listened to. I have been hooked on the genre ever since.
I would recommend this album to anyone wanting to investigate bossa nova because you'll get to hear some very famous songs with a very authentic bossa nova sound. But, you also get to hear very obscure Jobim songs such as "Captain Bacardi," "Mojave," "Dialogo," and "Antigua." I believe the obscure songs are more of a standout than the standards because they really translate the instrumental bossa nova sound wonderfully. I think if you want to know the genre better, then this is one of the first albums you should get.
Free Music Review: ..gives you happy feet...can't stop dancing!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great background music CD. At one point, during the dinner party, my friends and I looked at each other and asked "are they playing the SAME song over and over?" Maybe it was the wine?? :)
