28 beautiful bossa tracks from the 60s – 4 of them previously unreleased! The album pulls together tracks from
Jobim's Mid 60s albums on Warner – including The Wonderful World of
Antonio Carlos Jobim, Love Strings &
Jobim, and A Certain Mr
Jobim, and it also features 4 tracks from the session for Certain Mr
Jobim that were never issued at the time. All the tracks have lush sweeping arrangements with
Jobim's piano or guitar over the top, plus some occasional vocals that are sweet, warm, and very personal, a few that are even in English! Arrangements are by Claus Ogerman, Nelson Riddle, Gaya, and Deodato – and the album's a perfect blend of tracks from these hard to find records. Tracks include "Por Causa De Voce", "Fotographia", "Zingaro", "Surfboard", "Dindi", "Samba Do Aviao", "Bonita", "Useless Landscape", "Agua De Beber", "Bonita", and "Pardon My English".
