Antonio Carlos Jobim - The Composer of Desafinado, Plays - Verve Vault Series LP

180g Vinyl, Verve Vault Series, Mastered from Analog Tapes

The Composer of Desafinado, Plays, released in 1963 on Verve, marked the U.S. debut of Brazilian songwriter and pianist Antonio Carlos Jobim as a bandleader and the beginning of his long creative relationship with arranger Claus Ogerman. Recorded in New York in 1962 and produced by Creed Taylor, the 12-song instrumental set pairs Jobim's understated guitar and piano with Ogerman's lush orchestral arrangements. With soft textures, streamlined rhythms, and harmonic richness, the record cements Jobim's role as both architect and ambassador of bossa nova. The Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
