Artist:	JOBIM, ANTONIO CARLOS
Title:	Stone Flower
Label:	CTI RECORDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	CTI 6002LP

Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1970. "Nearly a decade after the paint peeled from the shine of bossa nova's domination of both the pop and jazz charts in the early '60s, Creed Taylor brought Jobim's tender hush of the bossa sound back into the limelight. With a band that included both Jobim and Deodato on guitars (Jobim also plays piano and sings in a couple of spots), Ron Carter on bass, João Palma on drums, Airto Moreira and Everaldo Ferreira on percussion, Urbie Green on trombone, Joe Farrell on soprano saxophone, and Harry Lookofsky laying down a soulful violin solo on the title track, Jobim created his own version of Kind of Blue. Stone Flower is simply brilliant, a velvety, late-night snapshot of Jobim at his peak." -- All Music Guide

Title:	The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim
Label:	DBK WORKS
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	DBK 524CD

Previously available in the DBK boxset, now each album available separately. Originally released in 1965 by Warner Bros. Records, and arranged by Nelson Riddle. "And with this album he introduces a dozen or more uniquities. He sits at his microphones, his hair undressed, finger-combed. His right leg crossed over his left to support his guitar. The lyrics, written by Academy Award writer Ray Gilbert, are new, unfamiliar sounds for him to interpret. To one side, Brazilian drummer Dom Um Romao, imported by Jobim for this recording. Jobim's voice, audible in the studio only to the microphone. He pronounces carefully, moving his jaw precisely for each vowel. Beside him, the arranger conducts his orchestra. Riddle looking dour, an exacting artist, imperceptibly relaxes the beat. With a patience born of years of elite and taxing assignments, Riddle controls the sprawling rows of musicians before him. The room has quiet about it, the quiet that settles only when a great and respected fellow musician concentrates on his art." --Stan Cornyn, from the original liner notes

Title:	Love, Strings and Jobim
Label:	DBK WORKS
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	DBK 525CD

Originally released in 1966 on Warner Bros. "The sensitive musicanship of Jobim, introducing the love songs of his country by the young writers of that land. His album was recorded in Rio over a period of three months. Three months spent searching for the best musicians, spent in assembling an orchestra in one place when over half the musicians have no telephone. They, together with a score of strings, and flutes and brass and still more guitars, assembled slowly and played these songs until they shone...at the center is the mood of Jobim, whether interpreted on guitar or piano. The mood of a slight, tousled, gentle man, speaking softly in a world too fast, eloquently in a world too facile." --Stan Cornyn, from the original liner notes

Title:	A Certain Mr. Jobim
Label:	DBK WORKS
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	DBK 526CD

Originally released in 1966 by Warner Bros. "To record this album, Jobim is in New York for the first time in two years, fresh from a consummate session in California with Francis Albert Sinatra. The session is held three nights running at a church turned recording studio, a vaulted, brightly-lit cavern noted for its acoustical brilliance. Dom Um Romao, a study in perpetual motion and one of the top Brazilian drummers working in the States, flies in from Chicago. On hand for the pulsating organ solo in 'Surfboard' is Dick Hyman. Leading the gossamer string section, the first violinist of the New York Philharmonic." --Hal Halverstadt, from the original liner notes

Title:	The Prime of Antonio Carlos Jobim
Label:	DBK WORKS
Format:	3CD BOX
Price:	$49.00
Catalog #:	DBK 600CD

Three of Jobim's classic 1960s Warner Bros. albums together in one box set: The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Love, Strings & Jobim, and A Certain Mr. Jobim. "Once having entered Jobim's wonderful bossa world, a listener may, by means of the composer's ravishing music, proceed forward or backward along the whole continuum of Brazilian music; his music is the point of entry. From his roots and influences -- all the way back to the passionate romance of Chopin and the shimmering harmonies of Debussy, to Heitor Villa-Lobos's elegance and Dorival Caymmi's earthiness, to master melodist Ary Barroso and the heat and joy of samba -- Tom Jobim forged a musical language that is profoundly brasileiro, yet entirely universal." -- Terri Hinte.

Title:	Wave
Label:	LILITH (RUSSIAN FEDERATION)
Format:	LP
Price:	$22.00
Catalog #:	LR 143LP

"By the time this album was released, Antonio Carlos Jobim was already an international superstar. Having recently won a Grammy (1965) for 'The Girl From Ipanema,' by 1967 all the big name stars from up north were breaking down his door to work with the new 'Gershwin of Brazil.' In fact, Jobim had just finished working on an album with Frank Sinatra when he went into the studio to record this album. Recorded in 1967, Wave is actually one of the lesser known masterpieces of Brazilian music, and undoubtedly one of Jobim's greatest. Here Jobim and the great Claus Ogerman lead a top-flight cast on hidden classics like 'Batidinha,' 'Triste' and 'Wave.'"
