  Antonio Carlos Jobim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonio Carlos Jobim (born Antonio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim, January 25, 1927 in Rio de Janeiro – December 8, 1994 in New York City), also called Tom Jobim, was a Brazilian composer, arranger, singer, pianist and perhaps the greatest legend of bossa nova.
Jobim's roots were planted firmly in the works of Pixinguinha, a legendary musician and composer who, in the 1930s, began the development of modern Brazilian music.
Jobim was buried in the Cemitério São João Batista in Rio de Janeiro.

Antonio Carlos Jobim was born on January 25th, 1927 in Rio de Janeiro.

Jobim was, along with lyricist Vinicius de Moraes and singer João Gilberto, the creator of the very important Brazilian movement called the Bossa Nova, at the end of the 1950’s.

 VH1.com : Antonio Carlos Jobim : Biography
Jobim's breakthrough outside Brazil occurred in 1962 when Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd scored a surprise hit with his tune "Desafinado" -- and later that year, he and several other Brazilian musicians were invited to participate in a Carnegie Hall showcase.
Jobim himself preferred the recording studios to touring, making several lovely albums of his music as a pianist, guitarist, and singer for Verve, Warner Bros., Discovery, A&M, CTI, and MCA in the '60s and '70s, and Verve again in the last decade of his life.
Jobim's reputation as one of the great songwriters of the century is now secure, nowhere more so than on the jazz scene, where every other set seems to contain at least one bossa nova.

 Antonio Carlos Jobim Discography: Slipcue.com Brazilian Music Guide
Antonio Carlos ("Tom") Jobim (1925-1994) was undeniably one of the great Brazilian composers, a globally known songwriter who shares equal rank with the Gershwins, Cole Porter and The Beatles.
Jobim pioneered bossa nova, and wrote many of its greatest hits, notably "The Girl From Ipanema" and "Desafinado." He also helped get the other great bossa nova legend, Joao Gilberto, his first solo recording contract, and helped popularize the new musical style worldwide in the early 1960s.
Jobim, along with contemporaries such as Carlos Lyra and Vinicius de Moraes, liberated Brazil from the bland anglophilia that had taken root in the postwar era, eradicating the attraction of tepid, safe Edmundo Ros-style pop with one gentle, samba-tinged sweep of bossa's magic wand.

 ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM: STONE FLOWER
Antonio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim (1927-1994) was, by far, the most important composer born in Brazil in the Twentieth Century.
Jobim, on piano, is backed only by Ron Carter, João Palma, and percussionists Airto (on the tambourine) and Everaldo Ferreira (playing in a matchbox!) This song also got another title some years later, "Garoto", as a tribute to a great Brazilian guitarist of the `40s.
Jobim sings with uncanny intimacy and plays Rhodes electric piano with a peculiar swing, propelled by an infectious samba beat sustained with great ability by drummer João Palma, a true sorcerer with the brushes.

 Antonio Carlos Jobim Albums & Links: The Music Of Tom Jobim
Apart from his unique melodic gift, what makes Jobim's work memorable is the complexity of mood he could evoke--the touch of sadness that colors the brightest bossa nova, the irony in the midst of joy, and the mixture of delicacy and resilience in his voice and piano.
Jobim's achy vocals and spare guitar and piano work are backed by an all-star orchestra, conducted and arranged by Claus Ogerman, featuring bassists Ron Carter and Richard Davis and percussionist Airto Moreira.
Jobim was also an exceptional film composer, and his evocative score for "Cronica de Casa Assassinada/Chronicle of the Murdered House" on this disc is filled with faraway train sounds and dreamy Ravel-Debussy impressionism.

 ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM / STONE FLOWER
Antonio Carlos Jobim is to Brazilian music what Duke Ellington is to American jazz—an innovative, prolific, and sublime pianist / songwriter whose art has come to symbolize a certain time and place.
While it was Jobim's "Desafinado" that first put bossa nova on the map in 1962 (when Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd scored a surprise hit covering the song), the man behind the music lived in relative obscurity until he was "rediscovered" shortly before his death in the mid-'90s.
By 1970, the year Jobim recorded Stone Flower, the music industry had already succeeded in destroying the public's appetite for bossa nova by oversaturating the market with schlocky albums recorded by fading musicians intent on reviving their careers with a little Brazilian spice.

Tom Jobim, as he was known familiarly, was born in l927 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and died in l994.
Tom Jobim soon began to immerse himself in a serious way in his first love, music, and he never did get around to becoming an architect as he had planned.

It would be accurate to suggest that Jobim, with his wonderfully catchy and romantic music, helped turn the cultural spotlight on Brazil during the 50's and 60's when the bossa nova "craze" first took hold, only to go on to become established as a permanent part of the American musical landscape.
These bands, of course, were still highly popular in the late 40's, when the young Jobim was beginning to hone his musical skills.
Jobim credits Joao Gilberto (who was then the husband of Astrud Gilberto) with making his own significant contributions to the developing art form of Bossa Nova.

Jobim made his last Brazilian concert appearance -- and the penultimate one of his life -- at this warm, star-studded affair in which American jazz musicians jetted down to the Free Jazz Festival in Sao Paulo to pay effusive homage.
The miracle is how easily the jazzers were able to capture the yearning essence of Jobim's idiom without really compromising their own distinct styles.
Thus Joe Henderson welds his trademark unpredictable flurries into the cool tenor sax bossa nova tradition; Shirley Horn does "Once I Loved" in her own inimitable manner which matches the mood of the song perfectly; Jon Hendricks' scatting fits the samba like a glove.
