Antonio Carlos Jobim - The Composer of Desafinado Plays (1963)

Hello, Good Day! Yes, day. I'm starting today earlier than usual to attend Kiko Continentino concert, playing 80 Jobim compositions in Rio de Janeiro. We will make an hiatus for the concert and then getting back Loronix ending our 48 Hours of Tom Jobim. It will be a great day where I will finally get in touch with several new friends I had the chance to know here. So, let's start the day with a recommendation of Ronam Ribeiro, made this morning at Cbox.

This is Antonio Carlos Jobim - The Composer of Desafinado Plays (1963), for Verve, also released in Brazil as Antonio Carlos Jobim - Antonio Carlos Jobim (1964), for Elenco as ME-9. This is Antonio Carlos Jobim debut LP. There were several different releases of this LP with many different cover artworks; I'm showing the one that I have on better conditions, which is the German edition. We started the first day with an early Jobim 10-inch and now we are starting the second with his debut LP. Tracks include:
