 | | Antonio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim, 25 January 1927, Rio de Janiero, Brazil, d. |
 | | Jobim can rightfully claim to have started the bossa nova movement when, as director of Odeon Records, he gave his friend Joao Gilberto his own composition "Chega De Saudade". |
 | | Although Jobim did record, and performed at Carnegie Hall with Getz, Byrd, and Dizzy Gillespie in 1962, it is as a composer that his influence remains huge, with tunes including "Desafinado", "How Insensitive", "The Girl From Ipanema", "One Note Samba" and "Wave" still jazz standards. |
