Antonio Carlos Jobim - The Composer Of Desafinado, Plays (1963)

Summer isn't summer without Jobim as far as I'm concerned.  So here's his debut solo album, recorded in New York, which became the launchpad for his international reknown.  The tracklist is a virtual bossanova songbook - just about every one of these twelve Jobim-penned tunes would become much-covered standards.  The album also marked the beginning of his working relationship with Claus Ogerman, who fleshes out every track in typically gorgeous style with his lush strings and flutes over Jobim's spare guitar and piano.
