Francis Albert Sinatra/Antonio Carlos Jobim: The Complete Reprise Recordings

As ‘Bossa-Nova’ became popular within jazz and also pop audiences in the 60s, Sinatra decided to record a full-fledged bossa nova album with the genre's leading composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Arranged by Claus Ogerman and featuring Jobim on guitar and backing vocals, Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim concentrated on Jobim's classic originals – ‘The Girl From Ipanema, ‘How Insensitive and ‘Dindi’, adding three American classics — ‘Baubles, Bangles and Beads’, ‘Change Partners’, and ‘I Concentrate on You’.The result was a critically-acclaimed masterpiece, still revered today - an album that used the Latin rhythms as a foundation, not as a focal point. Supported by a relaxed, sympathetic arrangement of muted brass, simmering percussion, soft strings, and Jobim's lilting guitar, Sinatra turns in an especially noteworthy performance; he has never sounded so subtle, underplaying every line he delivers and showcasing vocal techniques that he never had displayed before and it emerges as one of his most rewarding albums of the '60s. Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, 1968.This version now features the complete second album, an extra ten tracks.
