The Spirit of Jobim – Producer’s Notes
Hello,
Antonio Carlos Jobim was born on January 25th, so this is the “halfway point” in his year. It allows us to get back in touch with his musical legacy, as we celebrate Jobim’s half birthday!
I’ve programmed 10 Jobim favorites into this week’s program. I’ve included instrumentals plus vocals in English and Portuguese. These songs come from jazz and pop musicians worldwide. And, of course, I’ve sprinkled in a few favorites from Antonio Carlos Jobim himself.
This week’s theme continues on our homepage with another story from our ‘You Can Do This’ series. It’s called ‘Shadowing The Spirit of Jobim’.
Don‘t pass up the opportunity to give it a read when you get a chance, and please feel free to share it with your friends, too.
Happy Listening,
Scott Adams, Program Host
