Antonio Carlos Jobim’s first American album features a dozen songs, all destined to become standards, showcasing his remarkable compositional talent. Despite being out of practice, Jobim plays piano with minimalistic single notes and occasional chords, weaving long, undulating melodies with touches of jazz improvisation, executed with exquisite economy. Claus Ogerman’s arrangements introduce signature elements later prominent in their Creed Taylor-produced collaborations, including soaring solo flutes, sparse unison string lines blooming into lush harmonies, and flutes doubling Jobim’s piano chords with delicate precision. The album includes iconic tracks like “Desafinado,” “Corcovado,” “Chega de Saudade,” “The Girl From Ipanema,” “Meditation,” and “One Note Samba,” all of which appear in The Man From Ipanema set, making this a defining bossa nova masterpiece.
