Producers: Oscar Castro-Neves, Richard Seidel. Recorded live at the Free Jazz Festival, Sao Paulo, Brazil on September 27, 1993. Includes liner notes by Richard S. Ginell. Pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba's performance on "Agua De Beber" was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo. Recorded at the Sao Paulo Free Jazz Festival in Brazil on September 27, 1993, barely a year before Antonio Carlos Jobim's death, ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM/FRIENDS is an all-star tribute to the father of bossa nova, the blend of traditional Brazilian samba and American cool jazz that was all the rage in the mid-'60s. Featuring a wealth of stars, including pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, percussionist Alex Acuna and singers Gal Costa and Jon Hendricks--not to mention Jobim's son Paulo on guitar--the 13-track set is sharper and seemingly better rehearsed than most such one-off performances. The overture-style "Prelude Melody" opens the proceedings with a trio of Jobim's best and most complex melodies, played flawlessly by the assembled group before continuing through a well-chosen selection of Jobim items both classic and rather obscure. The closing jam session of "The Girl From Ipanema" is the only misstep on this otherwise delightful album.
