Annotation
Original US album "Jobim" released 1973 on vinyl as MCA Records 350.
By 1972, Antonio Carlos Jobim had enjoyed more than a decade of tremendous success as a songwriter with songs like "The Girl From Ipanema" and "Desafinado". The album he cut that year, titled simply Jobim, introduced another of his great standards, the beautiful "Aguas de Marco" ("Waters of March"). Singing it in both Portuguese and English, Jobim, who wrote the words as well as the music, constructs a surreal poem, to which his signature revolving melody builds jauntily and hypnotically to a finale. Other compositions firmly in the intimate style he had perfected include the love poem "Ana Luiza" and "Matita Pere", named after an elusive bird celebrated in Brazilian folklore.
