VA • Girl From Ipanema-The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook

 

Review
by Richard S. Ginell
The first of several tribute albums issued just after Antonio Carlos Jobim's death, this one generally sticks to his most famous songs as interpreted by several Brazilian and American artists from PolyGram's archives. Jobim himself appears on such obvious choices as the best-selling Stan Getz, João Gilberto, and Astrud Gilberto hit "The Girl from Ipanema," and with Astrud on "Agua de Beber" and "Dindi," and again with Elis Regina on an "Aguas de Marco" that nearly breaks up with laughter. The American contributions are a mixed bag; Sarah Vaughan's "Corcovado," for example, is rather inappropriately overwrought but Wes Montgomery's "Insensatez" is a beautiful recording, with Jobim's favored arranger, Claus Ogerman, in top wistful form. The other jazzers on the CD are Billy Eckstine, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Shirley Horn, and Dizzy Gillespie, proving that Jobim's timelessly aching music attracted quite a diverse cross-section of admirers.

Reseña
por Richard S. Ginell
El primero de varios álbumes de homenaje publicados justo después de la muerte de Antonio Carlos Jobim, se ciñe en general a sus canciones más famosas interpretadas por varios artistas brasileños y estadounidenses de los archivos de PolyGram. El propio Jobim aparece en opciones tan obvias como el éxito de Stan Getz, João Gilberto y Astrud Gilberto "The Girl from Ipanema", y con Astrud en "Agua de Beber" y "Dindi", y de nuevo con Elis Regina en un "Aguas de Marco" que casi se rompe de risa. Las contribuciones americanas son un conjunto mixto; "Corcovado" de Sarah Vaughan, por ejemplo, es más bien inapropiadamente exagerado, pero "Insensatez" de Wes Montgomery es una hermosa grabación, con el arreglista favorito de Jobim, Claus Ogerman, en la mejor forma melancólica. Los otros jazzistas que aparecen en el CD son Billy Eckstine, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Shirley Horn y Dizzy Gillespie, lo que demuestra que la música intemporal de Jobim atrajo a una gran variedad de admiradores.
