The Brazilian composer, arranger, singer, pianist and guitarist Antônio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994), known in Brazil as Tom Jobim, was one of the main forces behind the creation of the bossa nova style. Moreover, his songs (most of which had lyrics by Vinícius de Moraes) became true classics. This release presents a representative collection of Jobim's songs in classic versions performed by some of the most remarkable bossa nova artists (in many cases, with Jobim himself as accompanist, conductor or arranger). Featured stars include João Gilberto, Luiz Bonfá, Sylvia Telles, Elizete Cardoso, Walter Wanderley and Sérgio Mendes.
