Antonio Carlos Jobim - Wave

Really Nice

I really enjoy listening to Wave. I find the sound relaxing and the songs enjoyable. I recently started listening to the famous Getz/Gilberto album and I wanted to pickup albums from some of the other artists featured on it, hence Wave. Good album and I would recommend it to anyone who liked Getz/Gilberto. July 1, 2008

One Enjoyable Track

The title track, for which I bought the CD, was everything I expected. Unfortunately the rest of the CD was "ho hum". I'm going to donate it to the Public Radio annual CD sale. May 23, 2008

One of the Best Albums Ever

I have been listening to this album since I was a child. I'm now in my late 30's and it never gets old. April 18, 2008

Beautiful music

I can't really add much to what has already been written here. This is one of my favorites of all time. Listening to it is like visiting with an old friend. Just makes you feel good.

To describe it as a masterpiece doesn't do it justice.

You must have this work in your collection. December 3, 2007

Run-of-the-mill. Sort of.

It's kind of easy listening. The sort of music you hear in shopping malls, restaurants and such. But if you stop savoring your lobster with cocktail sauce and take the time to listen to this music, maybe you'll hear an unexpected instrumental break. It could also happen that you hear a particular tune you heard over and over for the last twenty years but all of a sudden that tune becomes surprising because the piano starts improvising in a jazzy way.

Songs like "Dialogo" and "Lamento" remind you of the fact that the Portuguese, even in South-America, are prone to 'Saudade': a feeling of longing and melancholy. After all it's a little disappointing that you get only thirty minutes of music. Oh well... August 24, 2007
