Antonio Carlos Jobim appears in this upbeat program that sadly became his last recorded performance. Many talented performers including Shirley Horn and Herbie Hancock pay tribute to this Brazilian-born jazz genius. Jobim wrote over 400 songs during his career, many of which became true classics including "The Girl From Ipanema," "Once I Loved," "No More Blues," and "Wave." Jobim was eventually inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, long after his music became a treasured guest in the hearts of many of his listeners. ~ Elizabeth Smith, Rovi
