Music to my ears ..........2007-03-12

This is one of the greatest instrumental talents I've heard in years. This cd has some of my all-time favorite movie tunes including 'Moon River', 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', and a very beautiful version of 'My Heart Will Go On'. This is the actual band that played in the 1997 movie Titanic and I'm truly thankful that they made this recording for everyone to enjoy. I'll cherish it for years to come. Thank you!

Familiar music with good performance.......1999-10-03

This CD contains many familiar music from films and the performance of the musicians is very good particularly track 16. I also find the music very relax and enjoyable and can bring the memory of those films if one has ever seen them.

Album Description

Remastered digipak reissue of 1969 album. It is believed by many that Jobim's best work as a leader was done during his relatively short sojourn on Frank Sinatra's Reprise label. The third offering for the label led to his arranger and conductor Claus Ogerman becoming somewhat a legend when it comes to orchestral writing for Bossa Nova compositions.

UK Only Digipack, Re-mastered with Updated Liner Notes by Leading Jazz Writers.

Very Relaxing.......2007-02-14

Jobim Recorded this album immediately after finishing another recording session with Frank Sinatra called; "Francis Albert Sinatra / Antonio Carlos Jobim" a definite 5 star album.

In "A certain Mr. Jobim" ACJ delivers a perfect relaxing Bossa Nova Brazilian Jazz album with himself on vocals; A Spine chilling romantic recording that deserves a good glass of wine and a relaxing romantic evening.

Not his best recording but well worth being in everyone's Bossa Nova music collection

A great singer's swan song.......2003-12-18

This was, sadly, Sylvinha's last album (although not her last recording). And, in a way, it was fitting that it should be all-Jobim (except for a rather extraneous Das Rosas, by Dorival Caymmi, included because it was at the time a big hit in the US market, to which this album was aimed), with arrangements by Lindolfo Gaya, who also arranged her 1959 Amor de Gente Moca album, the very first all-Jobim one (Elizete Cardoso's Cancao do Amor Demais had some songs with words and music both by Vinicius de Moraes). During her all-too-short recording career (1956-1966), Sylvia Telles was Jobim's favorite singer, to whom he often handed, "hot off the piano" as the liner notes say, many classics-to-be such as her trademark Dindi. In turn, Jobim penned no less than half the 100-odd songs she ever cut. As always, her voice matches Jobim's melodies and moods perfectly, whether somber, sprightly, introspective, impressionistic or unabashedly romantic as my personal favorite, All That's Left Is to Say Goodbye. In the nine tracks with words in English, a language she was fully fluent in, Sylvia delivers the lyrics faultlessly (with just an occasional, and endearing, touch of "carioca" accent), again conveying just the proper emotional tone. So do Gaya's lush arrangements, and kudos for Dubas Music, the producers of this reissue, for their care in listing the musicians who, as best as can be ascertained, played at the sessions. This album leaves just one thing to be desired: that Sylvinha had stayed longer with us, enchanting us with her beautiful voice and even more beautiful spirit.
