While no new Antonio Carlos Jobim album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1994 tour in Europe. It’s natural for Antonio Carlos Jobim to take a stab at ‘Triste’ considering her long-professed love for Armin Van Buuren. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Antonio Carlos Jobim’s album Verve Jazz Masters 13 falls to No. 2 with 826,000, a sales slide of 98%. This album is in perfect progression from Antonio Carlos Jobim!
Borzeguim is the albums biggest surprise. Music in Por Toda a Minha Vida is excellent as in all tracks of Verve Jazz Masters 13. |titile| is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. Inutil Paisagem (Useless Landscape) hits the heart. Insensatez is a fine track on any terms. Fascinating Rhythm makes a person feel marvelous. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. O Morro Nao Tem Vez - This one makes me want to not only sing along. After few listenings I started to like Agua de Beber more and more. O Grande Amor (5:25) a good melody. As always, Antonio Carlos Jobim’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Desafinado is the albums biggest surprise. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Within the first few notes of Corcovado it’s perfectly clear that Antonio Carlos Jobim is living this song. Vivo Sonhando is another strong production from Antonio Carlos Jobim.
