O gostoso de ouvir a muacute;sica de Tom Jobim eacute; que vocecirc; natilde;o se cansa. Comeccedil;ando que as inuacute;meras gravaccedil;otilde;es natilde;o se repetem porque o autor fazia questatilde;o de se inovar sempre. Quanto ao livro de Seacute;rgio Cabral estaacute; muito bem escrito e fundamentado em uma pesquisa profunda; como eacute; costume do autor em sua vasta obra. Recomendo natilde;o soacute; a leitura mas tambeacute;m a aquisiccedil;atilde;o deste livro.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Jobims life; simply set forthBy (((Marco Buendia)))This is a well-researched biography of the bossa nova composer; though the track of that research isnt visible; no notes; though there are in-text references; in many cases. Also; no index.The author very much follows the authors life; rather than delving into particulars of the songs; over the whole; readers wont find much information on specific songs; which are usually just listed in conjunction with remarks on compositions of a certain period; or when discussing recording or performances. There is; however; a carminologue; so to speak; at the end of the book; with associated discography.Enjoyable reading for those with a settled interest in Jobim; though it doesnt offer any great insight. The author appears to have a good command of jazz literature from the United States. This is a musical biography of a musical man; with a lot of emphasis on recording sessions in both Brazil and the USA. The author generally avoids gossipy elements; except where such stuff is essential to the story of the music. We hear; for instance; that Elis Regina was a hot-tempered; difficult person; but of course the record Jobim made with Regina is widely considered to be among his best; and besides; Reginas fighting with Jobim led to her husband getting to do the arrangements; so theres some purpose in the personal business. Jobims drift away from his first wife and his marriage to a woman half his age is covered; but only minimally and not salaciously. I think Jobim was; aside from that episode; quite a clean liver and offered little toehold for tale-bearing; and the reader is very favorably impressed with Jobim the man as well as the artist.Some photos; in black and white. Generally pretty plain Portuguese; for those who arent native to the language.
