Description
Cut in New York with Creed Taylor behind the desk and Claus Ogerman shaping the arrangements, Antonio Carlos Jobim’s The Composer Of Desafinado, Plays distills bossa nova to its most elegant essentials. Piano, guitar, soft reeds and a hush of strings make this more intimate and instrumentally focused than the vocal versions most folks know. Notice the little piano fill before the strings swell in Desafinado, it’s a gentle hook that keeps you leaning in. Corcovado floats on brushed drums and bass that never rushes, all poised and unhurried. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Antonio Carlos Jobim records online with us. This LP pressing gives the music more room to breathe; low end sits deeper and imaging feels tidier around the flutes. It belongs right next to Getz/Gilberto and the early Verve bossa era, but the mood here is cooler and purely instrumental. Spin it on a quiet Sunday in Preston and you’ll hear why Jobim the pianist matters as much as Jobim the songwriter. Still plays beautifully at low volume, and holds up in close listening too.
