Description
Antonio Carlos Jobim – Wave, 1967 LP (2007 RE) 180 Gram Vinyl, Unsealed, but played only once. So this is essentially new.
Perfect backround music for a romantic dinner, or drinks in St. Martin
Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studios in 1967, and produced by that prolific jazz hitmaker Creed Taylor, Wave has now become something of a bossa touchstone, along with the Getz/Gilberto album of 1964.
Lush, romantic, sunny, laid back, contemplative, shimmering, gorgeous… all adjectives to describe this landmark record; in less skilful hands than Jobim and Taylor's, it could so easily have tipped into an easy listening haze, but Wave remains, half a century on, a compelling record.
The songs remain stellar: it is with good reason that the title track and ‘Triste’ have become immortal standards – Jobim is a first-rate composer and this may well be his definitive statement. But credit also must go to Van Gelder's typically exacting sound engineering, and the superb arrangements of Claus Ogerman, who also conducts the large ensemble of star sidemen with the required light touch.
This brilliant vinyl reissue reproduces the original 1967 A&M record – including the famous gatefold sleeve.
