Girl From Ipanema – Jobim, Antonio Carlos – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

The Girl from Ipanema was the first album
by Antônio Carlos Jobim and features a
dozen instrumentals arranged by Claus
Ogerman, whose work would mark the
beginning of a lifelong musical relationship
with Jobim. Of these twelve songs, nearly
all of them are jazz standards. The opening
track "The Girl from Ipanema" is believed
to be the second most recorded song in
history behind The Beatles’ "Yesterday."
Jobim plays both guitar and piano. The
album was inducted into the Latin Grammy
Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2007, Rolling
Stone Brasil ranked it number 58 in "The
100 greatest Brazilian music records".
Pete Welding of Down Beat said, "If the
bossa nova movement had produced
only this record, it would already be fully
justified."
