Who needs an orchestra? - Karl Macrae, 06/13/2001, USA
It is a classic recording. As wine, it gets better as time goes by. Superb music for all moments. You don't need too many notes to make good music. As this CD shows, simplicity, imagination and good taste can do it. No need for pyrotechnics.
Antonio Carlos Jobim was one of the greatest jazz composers of all time. Just as people like Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Ron Carter, and a host of others. Regardless of what the promo hype says on the cover, this session is almost a travesty of the music of Jobim. While Jobim's guitar and piano and vocals are fine, the setting is a jazz lovers nightmare: surrounded by sickeningly sweet strings brilliant music is made to sound as though it were designed for the early days of MUSAK. That is to say, a symphony of mosquitos. And who else would conceive of such an atrocity other than the infamous producer Creed Taylor, a man who judging by other productions, has ruined the vital sounds of many a musician. If there is any doubt about my reaction to this CD let me clarify. Buy ANY other Jobim session but this Creed Taylor monstrosity. It is doubtful that even Jobim owned a copy. Not recommended.
