Antonio Carlos Jobim (1925-1994), undoubtedly one of the greater Brazilian composers, is especially known as a songwriter. He combined modern classical touches with a suave swing rendering individual musical parts with such simplicity that it masks the thrilling harmonic structures. These twin elements combine to make his songs universal classics. Jobim pioneered Bossa Nova and wrote many of its greatest hits, such as “Desafinado” and “The Girl from Ipanema”. This piece introduced the famous guitarist Astrud Gilberto to the World at large in 1963 by means of a recording with the participation of star saxophonist Stan Getz. It was also recorded with great success by Frank Sinatra in 1967. This is a sparkling wind band arrangement by Peter Kleine Schaars who is extremely skilful in arranging modern rhythms for the symphonic band medium.
