A stunning lost bossa nova soundtrack! The score was penned for the 1967 film Garota De Ipanema (Girl From Ipanema), and although you've heard some of the tracks before in other versions, the overall album is very nice – and is a wonderful tribute to the early days of bossa nova! Jobim and Vinicius perform, as well as Baden Powell, Tamba Trio, Nara Leao, Elis Regina, Ronnie Von, Chico Buarque, and Quarteto Em Cy – and titles include "Por Voce", "Chorino", "Aria Para Se Morrer De Amor", "Rancho Das Namoradas", and "Tema Da Desilusao". We think some of the material might have popped up on other albums from time to time, but there's still enough stuff here that we hadn't heard elsewhere – and that we like a lot!

A beautiful tribute to the genius of this landmark Brazilian poet/songwriter/diplomat/singer! Some tracks feature Vinicius singing, and others feature him speaking or reading his own work – and the album features appearances by Jobim, Toquinho, Edu Lobo, Chico Buarque, Susana De Moraes, and others. Titles include "Samba Em preludio", "Estamos Ai", "Depoimento De Chico Buarque", "O Haver", "Depoimento De Tom Jobim", "A Casa", "Vai Levando", "Agua De Beber", "Samba Da Bencao", and "Soneto A Lua".
