Mood Elevation Music
The arrangements are flawless, making this CD pleasurable from beginning to end. Relaxing and with Brazilian beats, Jobim's classic deserves a place in one's CD collection. The whole album is soothing and includes a wide variety of musical instruments. Everybody I've exposed it to seems to love it immediately, something unusual in itself. I've never become tired of this album.


The sublime sound of Tom
Jobim wrote beautiful music that still intrigue anyone who takes the time to listen. Tom, of course, is Antonio Carlos Jobim, easily the most important figure in the bossa nova (the new thing) period of the late 50s and the early 60s. "Wave", the title piece of this album, is one of my favorite pieces of music. Trombones with Tom on the piano, displaying not such much his piano skills as his ultimate sense of musicianship. I also love "Look to the Sun".

Bossa nova touches something timeless in us, I think. It's wistful, carrying us along on a wave of beauty that never quite translates into joy but rather into fate and inevitability. The lyrics of Wave express that idea, but the music does it better. The metaphor of the wave is Brazilian fatalism and romanticism, and the timeless beauty of Rio. It's a vision that Jobim's music captures with stark beauty.

If you like the song "Wave" as much as I do, be sure to get Oscar Peterson's incredible version of it. Utterly fantastic, a masterpiece.

Really Nice
I find the sound relaxing and the songs enjoyable. I really enjoy listening to Wave. I recently started listening to the famous Getz/Gilberto album and I wanted to pickup albums from some of the other artists featured on it, hence Wave. Good album and I would recommend it to anyone who liked Getz/Gilberto.


One Enjoyable Track
Unfortunately the rest of the CD was "ho hum". The title track, for which I bought the CD, was everything I expected. I'm going to donate it to the Public Radio annual CD sale.
