Free Music Notes for From Ton to Tom: A Tribute to Tom Jobim
Free Music Review: An unsung hero breathes new life into timeworn classics...
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't know about anyone else, but the joy and sorrow of Tom Jobim's music is perfectly evident here, as is the idea of artfully re-interpreting the original songs. I'd rather listen to this album than any of the tired, unoriginal redos of Jobim's material through the years. Or the versions that are out now with 'house beats' added. Horta's not interested in being a guitar hero, or parroting the original takes - most of the arrangements on this album have have a grace and style all their own, and if nothing else, he deserves to be praised for continuing Jobim's legacy. Free Music Review: yes it's great.

Free Music Review: Master's Dedication to a Master
Hit: 5 Stars
When you abbreviate "Anthony" in English, you say "Tony or Tom".When you abbreviate "Antonio" in Portuguese, you say "Toninho".
So Antonio Carlos Jobim and Toninho Horta are both "Antonios" and the similarity does not end with their name.
This Toninho Horta's tribute to Tom Jobim happens to make it clear how similar they are in their open mind and how different they are in their top quality wonderful results. Both are great composers and players with an orchestra's conception in their minds.
This is a must-have CD. The Brazilian master guitarrist, arranger and composer Toninho Horta pays his tribute to Tom Jobim.
I think it is always dangerous for an artist to use Jobim's material because it has been re-recorded over and over and over. However, this is not absolutely the case here. Toninho Horta simply re-creates all material. His creative fresh approaches are unique.
Toninho Horta sings his vocalises on all tracks and Brazilian singer Gal Costa sings on two tracks: "Chega de Saudade" (aka "No More Blues") and "From Ton to Tom", the Horta's composition dedicated to Tom Jobim.
All sung in Portuguese except for one track.
