4.0 out of 5 stars Very Relaxing, February 14, 2007

This review is from: Certain Mr Jobim (Audio CD)

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Short & sweet, October 2, 2011

This review is from: Certain Mr Jobim (Audio CD)

At approx. 25 minutes, this may be the shortest CD in my collection. A mix of very familiar with less familiar Jobim compositions enveloped in lush Claus Ogerman arrangements. Sidemen include Dom Um Romao and Dick Hyman. Good easy listening.
