Antonio Carlos Jobim

• 180-GRAM VINYL LP

• THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 4 BONUS TRACKS

• 5 STARS DOWN BEAT

The Girl from Ipanema was the first album by Antônio Carlos Jobim and features a dozen instrumentals arranged by Claus Ogerman, whose work would mark the beginning of a lifelong musical relationship with Jobim. Of these twelve songs, nearly all of them are jazz standards. The opening track "The Girl from Ipanema" is believed to be the second most recorded song in history behind The Beatles' "Yesterday." Jobim plays both guitar and piano.

The album was inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2007, Rolling Stone Brasil ranked it number 58 in "The 100 greatest Brazilian music records". Pete Welding of Down Beat said, "If the bossa nova movement had produced only this record, it would already be fully justified."
