1995 JazzTimes Reader Poll- Best Video- First Runner Up
Direct from Brazil comes this deeply appreciative musical tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927-94), co-founder and leading composer of the Bossa Nova.

With hundreds of songs to his credit, Jobim virtually single handedly brought the Bossa Nova to the world, where it became a staple ingredient in the jazz cookbook. Jobim's new sound adapted the rhythmic variety and percussive excitement of the samba to the intimacy of syncopated guitar, while echoing the melodies and harmonies of cool jazz.

Composer of such standards as Girl From Ipanema, One Note Samba, Wave and Dindi, Jobim was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 1991.

V.I.E.W. Video presents an extraordinary gathering of jazz giants in this enhanced DVD presentation with many bonus features. Along with Jobim himself (in his last recorded concert appearance), these superstars recreate Jobim's classic melodies in a beautiful concert-length "Thank You."
