Brazils Greatest Composer Limited Editio

Brazilian songwriter, composer, arranger, singer, and pianist/guitarist Antonio Carlos Jobim, known in Brazil as Tom Jobim, was a primary force behind the creation of the bossa nova style. Moreover, his songs (most of which had lyrics by poet, Vinicius de Moraes), have become true classics and have transcended the genre as they continue to be played and recorded by countless singers and instrumentalists within Brazil and throughout the world. This release contains a representative collection of Jobim's songs in classic versions performed by some of the most remarkable bossa nova artists, and in many cases, presenting Jobim himself as accompanist, conductor, and arranger.
