    5.0 out of 5 stars "Masters" is the right word.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2014

    Nearly all of these are tracks I enjoyed in my youth, performed by the artists who did them best, and the sound quality on all of them is better than I've heard before. Although one seldom hears Jobim's music on the air any more, it does not sound the least bit dated. It's just as invigorating and natural today as it was when new.

    There is one track on the disc I had never heard before, Tide, which is a clever takeoff of Wave. Another track (the one I mainly bought this recording for) is not new to me, but I had only heard Art Garfunkle's version of it before: The Waters of March. Garfunkle certainly has the better singing voice, and he pretty much remained true to the original in terms of tempo, mood and arrangement; but it turns out Jobim's voice and sense of timing lend an authenticity that I doubt anyone else could match.

    This is music both of warmth and substance. I highly recommend it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff
    Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2014

    I'm not a big jazz fan, though I like some South American music. I don't dance the Samba (too old now), or enjoy Busby Berkeley's musicals like I used to. But Astrud Gilberto's singing got me looking at SA music, and this album stuck with me. Antonio Carlos Jobim, in my mind, ranks right up there with some of the music greats, from Jazz to Zaideko, from Rock to Musicals, and so on. His songs just had a magic to them that I and a former girlfriend (yes, support can help determine preferences) just had some wonderful times, dancing, driving (singalong), and whatever, listening to this. I admit I prefer Astrud by a hair, but this album is just very......active?.....moving?......? As a former wordsmith, I just don't quite find adequate words for it. So I list it with my other top favorites, Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Bacharach, Wagner, so many others. Just a very enjoyable album.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Masters in the title was not an understatement

    I generally don't like "best of" collections. I generally collect the studio offerings of any artist and then make my own best collection. So, I was surprised at this offering. It's actually a comprehensive collection of Antonio Carlos Jobim from his early work to what he did as his career progressed. If you've heard a piece of his, liked it and are looking for an introduction to the rest of his work, this is the collection you're looking for. All Great. No Filler! Well worth the price.

    If you want some good Brazilian music and like Antonio you can't go wrong. His songs are great and its obvious why so many artists have recorded his songs or been inspired by his music and compositions.

    This CD is fantastic! Bossa nova has such a unique sound to it. In this CD, Antonio Carlos Jobim collaborates with Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto, and Astrud Gilberto. It's very relaxing to listen to this music while driving to work on my long commute. Great product at a Great Price!! I would highly recommend this CD!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best Brazilian music
    Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    After 40 years of listening to Brazilian music, I never tire of listening to the one who put Bossa Nova on the map. The genius of his music and lyrics are still as popular now as they were in the 60s. Each song bears the stamp of romance, sensuality and longing. The Girl from Ipanema is a true story he tells so well in song. You won't regret this purchase!

    I bought this for a friend as one of her Christmas presents. This is from a time when music was really cool and meant something. Smooth, melodic and Rhythmic, music doesn't get much better than this. I was fortunate to be alive when this music was new. The 60s was special and this music is one of the reasons why.
