Jobim sings the songs of his mentor and friend
Tom Jobim honors the man who influenced him and was his mentor and friend, Vinicius de Moraes. You will enjoy this CD - very beautiful (recorded live).


Tom Canta Vinicius: Ao Vivo, Looking for Jobim & de Moraes.
We've all connected with Vinicius de Moraes on one level or another. OK. An Aunt or Uncle, Grandpa, Mom or Dad, or an older brother or sister, someone turned us onto the Artist.

Right?

But how many of us have a good solid Vinicius de Moraes CD collection?

It's time to retire our ancestor's old Greatest Hits.

I have looked through the Amazon Vinicius de Moraes CD headings and there are alot of titles to consider purchasing.

Tom Canta Vinicius: Ao Vivo is a nice way to honor Vinicius and Jobim by buying and ordering some welcomed new product.

I don't know about you, but intoning the name, Vinicius de Moraes, is a religious experience, the picture on the CD's front cover and the live recording border on holy.

Greatest Hits CD's have their place, but there's nothing like a tight knit group of family and friends singing and performing songs of deep significance or relevance.

I listen to Tom Canta Vinicius: Ao Vivo in the bathtub.

Light a candle for your loved ones. Honor your ancestry.

Honor the pretty person next to you. Leave some hot water for them!

Buy Vinicius de Moraes CD's for Birthdays, Weddings, and Anniversaries.

Drink the Philospher's Wine. Innoculate the Music Trade.

Tom Canta Vinicius: Ao Vivo is a good start.

I give it 5 Stars, a stellar performance.

BEAUTIFUL SONGS -- WONDERFUL PERFORMANCES
Many of the classic songs are included in the program -- 'Insensatez', 'Felicidade', 'Samba de Carioca', 'Garota de Ipanema' (and the version here blows away ANY of the 'elevator music' interpretations you most likely have endured) -- and the participants are perfect, possibly the musicians most sympathetic to his music with whom the Master ever worked. I can basically only agree with the review below -- this is a well-recorded, lovingly performed tribute concert to Tom Jobim's long-time friend and collaborator Vincius de Moraes. The recording -- and live recordings are always a bit of a risk to the buyer -- is clear and quiet, the applause from the audience only audible between the tracks. This recording aptly captures Jobim's art -- and his love for it. It's a must-have for anyone who enjoys the best that Brazilian music has to offer -- his work is the pinnacle of the form.

The Morelenbaums -- Paula and Jacques, on vocals and cello, respecetively -- and Paolo Jobim, on guitar and vocals, are, of course, three-fourths of the incredible Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum, whose recording of a couple of years ago, dedicated to Tom Jobim's music, has become a modern classic in its own right. They are joined here by the fine work of Danilo Caymmi on flute and vocals. The support these wonderful musicians gently give to Tom's piano and vocals show their love and respect for this giant -- his contributions to modern music will, I feel certain, be eternally honored for their timeless beauty.


A lovely and very pleasant live tribute by "Tom" Jobim
S. Recorded live in Brazil in 1990 and not released in the U. until now, "Tom Canta Vinicius" (translate "Tom Sings Vinicius") is Tom Jobim's tribute to his songwriting partner Vincinius de Moraes. While de Moraes was not nearly as famous as Mr. Jobim, his standing as a bossa nova original is secure, having helped pen several of the best-loved songs of that genre. Many of those were performed in this concert, including my favorite bossa tune, "Insensatez," one of the most beautiful songs of all time. Jobim was accompanied by his son Paulo, Danilo Caymmi and the Morelenbaums. In fact, Paula Morelenbaum sung most of the lead vocals - and did a magnificent job. Tom sang a few numbers alone or in duet with Paula, in his sometimes thin or fragile-sounding voice (but not really a problem, because you can feel his love for the songs). The sound quality for the recording is excellent - intimate and natural, like they're playing in your living room.
