Although there was initial resistance by producers, Jobim not only plays guitar but piano as well in his debut for Verve. Jobim is joined by George Duvivier (bass), Edison Machado (drums), Leo Wright (flute), Jimmy Cleveland (trombone) and full strings on the 12-song instrumental set that features such bossa nova classics as “Corcovado,” “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Agua de Beber” and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.ververecords.com\/products\/the-composer-of-desafinado-plays-verve-vault-series-lp?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=b21a5167d\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLabel\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his first American album, Antonio Carlos Jobim presents a dozen of his songs, each one destined to become a standard — an astounding batting average. Jobim, who claimed to have been out of practice at the time of the session, merely plays single notes on the piano with one hand, punctuated by chords now and then, sticking to his long, undulating melodies with a few passages of jazz improvisation now and then. Yet it is a lovely idea, not a gesture is wasted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArranger Claus Ogerman unveils many of the trademarks that would define his Creed Taylor-produced albums with Jobim — the soaring, dying solo flute and spare, brooding unison string lines widening into lush harmony; flutes doubling on top of Jobim’s piano chords — again with an exquisitely spare touch.\u003cbr\u003eThe songs include \"Desafinado\", \"Corcovado\", \"Chega de Saudade\" (No More Blues), \"The Girl From Ipanema\", \"Meditation\", \"One Note Samba\", and half-a-dozen others (every one of which is included on The Man From Ipanema set). — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/the-composer-of-desafinado-plays-mw0000188233\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAll Music\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1sWqA3SOsxbVzN1gC4QrZ3?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl Tracklist\u003cbr\u003eA1 The Girl From Ipanema\u003cbr\u003eA2 O Morro (Amor Em Paz)\u003cbr\u003eA3 Agua De Beber\u003cbr\u003eA4 Dreamer (Vivo Sonhando)\u003cbr\u003eA5 Favela (O Morro Não Tem Vez)\u003cbr\u003eA6 Insensatez\u003cbr\u003eB1 Corcovado\u003cbr\u003eB2 One Note Samba\u003cbr\u003eB3 Meditation\u003cbr\u003eB4 Jazz Samba (Só Danço Samba) (From The Film \"Copacabana Palace\")\u003cbr\u003eB5 Chega De Saudade\u003cbr\u003eB6 Desafinado\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Verve Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo, 180gr, Gatefold\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2025 \/ Originally Released: 1963\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz, Latin\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Bossa Nova\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Audiophile Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46409447145630,"sku":"602478179884","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/71-uEU47AdL-_UF894-1000_QL80.jpg?v=1768628060","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.com\/products\/antonio-carlos-jobim-the-composer-of-desafinado-plays-verve-vault-reissue","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
