Antonio Carlos Jobim
Antonio Carlos Jobim (also
Tom Jobim) (
1927-
1994) was a
Brazilian composer, singer, pianist and was one of the legends of
Bossa nova (Portuguese for 'New Beat'). It's been said that his music was more popular at times in the US than in Brazil because of the strong
Jazz leanings in his music.
