Customer Reviews
Antonio Carlos Jobim Stoneflower, Enjoys Widespread Popularity
I have a lovely bit of history that seems to have slipped through the cracks.
Right after World War II, there were two kinds of phonograph turntables, little portable turntables were popular with teenagers, big turntables cost more, they were like investing in a piece of furniture.
As a result, fancy retail stores arranged their big HI-FI's next to the ovens and washer and dryers for sale!
At the end of the aisle, next to all the appliances were a couple rows of LP phonograph records.
My family moved to the Pacific Northwest during the early 60's, east of Seattle over the Floating Bridge in a little town called Lake Hills, Bellevue, it was a relatively new part of town catering to young families and a growing economy.
There were only a couple of fine retail stores that stocked records, record stores didn't appear on the Eastside untill after 1970.
I purchased the LP Antonio Carlos Jobim Wave in the summer of 1971, with my lawnmower money, when I was twelve.
One of my distinct vivid impressions of the early 70's is going next to the fancy washer and dryer Appliance section and admire the record slick of Antonio Carlos Jobim Stoneflower.
Jobim's suit and tie and well groomed look made a big impression on me.
Stoneflower helped define the early 70's. It was a big deal when it appeared on CD.
It's nice to see Wave, Stoneflower and Tide still register with the public.
To this day, whenever I study the front cover of Antonio Carlos Jobim Stoneflower, I'm driven to set aside a little nest egg to purchase my next Jobim.
The songs on Stoneflower are very delicate, they display great mastery, a nice way to unwind.
Superb Jobim
Simply an excellent mellow , soothing Cd from the great Jobim. One track has vocals while all the rest are instrumental in the usual Jobim Bossa nova style.
Excellent recording. Highly recommended !
A Jobim gem
This collection was a little different than some of Jobim's Music I had heard before. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it just as much as some of his more well known music. Beautifully arranged and recorded, this is a classic from a true master of the genre. Add a star for that alternate version of "Brasil"!
