I'm still learning his beautiful songs. Here are a couple of the songs I sang bearing in mind that I don't speak the language but I am planning to learn. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNd9q8h_ya_VmIU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aN5lma5-2s6saJ8.html

In Portuguese? who taught you Portuguese?

Trini here.. I perform his music atleast 4 times a week..

Juliet Robin Jobim rhymes with Robin 😊

one of mine, too. I'm a German, and I've been loving his music for more than 30 years by now.

A.C. Jobim and Cole Porter were in a class of two.

Same here. I really like his music. I have listened to his music for over a year.

Niels Ohlsen, Cole Porter is also one of my favorites. I listen to his music quite a bit - versions of his songs by Sergio Mendes and Brasil ‘66, Michel Legrand, 101 Strings.

In one way, brasil was not kind to many of its brilliant musicians: I can think of one who was “invited to leave” when the military was running the country. But, in another way, it is a wonderful place for creating and working with other musicians. Every single moment in NYC must be used to somehow pay rent. But, in brasil, seeing family (often !) and eating beans and rice and salad and not paying EVERYTHING to a landlord, you can relax enough to play and work out some tunes. And you’ll make friends: real ones. Brazilian people are so so friendly.

He also said that Frank Sinatra didnt have his number so he just called Brazil, then one attendant found Tom's house number but he wasnt there, so they found out the number of the bar he liked to go, named Veloso, and then the waiter just said "Mr Tom, it seems some foreigner wants to talk to you on the phone.". That was their first talk ever.

@@gustavobuquera They then dropped one of the hottest Bossa albums to date. Class acts.

Thanks! Love the seaside medley, love every part!

❤

+Anastasia G Thanks! Yeah, he's my favorite musician of all time; and quite a genius. Totally my idol.

+Margebird Mine toooo, he was one of the loveliest and most brilliant people to ever grace our planet. :))) Adore him.

Tommy Bridges Tks for that. Awesome material about this genius. I appreciate you shared with us.

There's also a great show in L.A. Tom and Gal Costa singing together in 1987.

Thank you. Yum-Yum

Yo también! Jobim, el más grande y genial compositor!!❤

There is a Greek word for your first sentence, anemoia.

You're right about Jobim. I was fortunate to hear much of that when it was new. We knew it was great, but we assumed there would always be great things. Ha.

So what? It’s what meant to him . Not to you

I wonder what Millenials and Zers would make of his music. Could they begin to appreciate it?

@@bobtaylor170 I’m 25 and I think his music has to be on my top 5. The man knows how to make great music!

his English is pretty good! far better than most of the other ones ...

True that but keep in mind that he learnt English after he had completed 30 years of age

When I was doing Toastmasters, a Latina woman corrected me by saying “what, what do I know?”

KKKKKKK ENGLISH IS A WORLD LANGUAGE, GENIUS.

It’s at the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro. I’ve been there. Very beautiful.

@@kerry4283 thanks!

Shat up

Tudo bem, cara! É o orgulho de um gênio brasileiro. Isso é legal, pelo menos não são daqueles vira-latas que enquanto os gringos enchem a bola, o cara(brasileiro) mete o pau. Vi isso em vídeos do Pelé, gringos admirados com a genialidade do cara e brasileiros sentando o pau.

SIMPLESMENTE PORQUE INGLÊS É A LíNGUA DA COMUNICAÇÃO UNIVERSAL. JOBIM É DO MUNDO.

Tanto faz.

Tom Jobim escrevia as letras em português. A maioria das músicas foi com parceiros que escreviam as letras, em português, como Vinicius de Morais e Edu Lobo. Tom foi gravar nos Estados Unidos. Teve disco lançado lá. Os gringos ficaram loucos. Frank Sinatra ouviu o disco e logo conseguiu o telefone do Tom. A esposa de Tom atendeu e passou ao Frank o telefone do Bar Veloso(hoje Bar Garota de Ipanema) onde Tom estava naquele fim de tarde. E Tom foi gravar com Frank Sinatra. Importantes letristas americanos fizeram as versões em inglês, que foram gravadas mundo à fora.

Pq o vídeo é em inglês e tem muito gringo assistindo. Se vc quiser que todo mundo que está vendo o vídeo entenda seu comentário tem que se comentar em inglês. E não há nada de errado com isso. Jobim é Brasil, mas também é universal
