Harry Allen - Something About Jobim (2015) FLAC

For 99 percent of all Brazilian musicians, Antonio Carlos Jobim is number one. His composition skills and his unique talent makes it possible for him to be, at the same time, amazingly sophisti- cated and easy to listen to. It tells us a lot about Brazil. In a way all Brazilian musicians have, like Jobim, a simple love of the beach, the forests, the birds and a way of being. His development, both as a composer and a lyricist, into the major artist that he is, makes Jobim one of the proudest proofs of Brazilian potentials and talent. Along with João Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim (his full name) have changed the ball game, and given Brazilian music international exposure and shaped a general view of what Brazil’s musical roots and creative resources are. It is unthinkable to look upon Brazil as a musical nation without con- sidering Jobim’s artistic architecture and beauty.
