Arr. Naohiro Iwai. Par JOBIM ANTONIO CARLOS. Avec Vicinius de Moraes et João Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994) est considéré comme le père de la bossa nova, un style musical qui se caractérise par un souple balancement et qui évolue sur les rythmes de la samba brésilienne. Carlos Jobim a composé de nombreuses chansons qui sont devenues à la fois des classiques de la musique populaire brésilienne et du jazz : Corcovado, Chega de Saudade, The Girl From Ipanema et Desafinado (1959) qui connut un succès planétaire. / Niveau : 4 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
