2 a.c. jobim/nelson riddle series bonita (1965) Background: Antonio Carlos Jobim is considered one of the greatest songwriters of the twentieth century. He is a national hero in Brazil, where an airort and streets are named for him. His influence in the jazz world is overwhelming, and new recordings of his songs continue to increase in each assing year. Jobim, whose father was a dilomat, was born in Antonio grew u in Rio de Janeiro, and learned both the guitar and iano as a boy. He later said that he was influenced by Debussy and Ravel. He studied with a German iano teacher and was exosed to modern classical music. Although he briefly studied architecture, he layed iano in nightclubs, and eventually wrote arrangements for recording dates. In 1956, he met Vinicius de Moraes who had written a lay based on the Orheus legend. When Black Orheus was made into a movie, Jobim wrote the score. Although it was based on the samba, the score had a harmonic richness reviously unheard in Brazilian music. Jobim later told writer Gene Lees that he was influenced by Gerry Mulligan and other musicians who were laying what was called cool jazz. The new style was later dubbed bossa nova (or new wave ). Black Orheus became very oular, and sread this new music around the world. Desafinado (or Slightly Out of Tune) was soon recorded by many jazz artists. By the early 1960s, Jobim s songs were being layed and recorded by Herbie Mann and Stan Getz. In 1964, Jobim s new song The Girl from Ianema was recorded by Stan Getz with singer Astrud Gilberto (wife of Joao Gilberto). This single became an international sensation, and Jobim was soon making albums in the United States with arrangements by Nelson Riddle and Claus Ogerman. Other notable Jobim songs include Wave, How Insensitive, Quiet Nights, Meditation, and many others. Jobim made ten solo albums, and also recorded with rank Sinatra and the equally legendary Elis Regina. Jobim remained active as a writer for the rest of his life, and occasionally toured, most notably in 1984 with his son aulo laying guitar. He had a full schedule of new rojects that he was rearing when, following surgery, he died of heart failure in The Music: This arrangement comes from the 1965 recording session released as The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim. Riddle s biograher, eter J. Levinson, said, The most beautiful album that Nelson ever arranged in his entire career was The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim, recorded in It is really the inner workings of the Jobim/Riddle combination - the tenderness and sensuality that redominated throughout this recording - that revealed how much Nelson and Tom Jobim were soulmates... Nelson used a mixture of flutes, trombones, and strings to erfectly convey the romanticism of the samba. Jobim s ortuguese and heavily accented English vocals and guitar blended seamlessly with Nelson s arrangements. Notes to the Conductor: Riddle s instrumentation features flutes, horns in, and 2 trombones along with violins, cello, guitar, iano, bass, drums, and maracas. He secifies the following string ersonnel: 6 violin I, 6 violin II, 4 viola, and 4 cello arts. Attemts to dulicate the sound of this arrangement and others from the Riddle/Jobim album will rove challenging even for the most advanced ensembles. We suggest extensive listening to the Jobim albums from this time eriod as Riddle (and Claus Ogerman) created an individualized sound all his own that is unlike other recordings. Acknowledgments: Thanks to agreements with the Jobim Institute and Corcovado Music we are roud to make many of the arrangements from these albums available. Thank you for urchasing this ublication and suorting our efforts. Jeffrey Sultanof, Rob DuBoff and Doug DuBoff - December 2016
