Antonio Carlos Jobim- Wave-LP

Antonio Carlos Jobim’s Wave offers a graceful blend of bossa nova and jazz, with the title track "Wave" standing out as a standard that has sailed smoothly into countless repertoires since its 1967 release. The album also features "Triste," a tune that quickly became one of Jobim’s defining pieces, exemplifying his gift for melody and mood. The presence of jazz heavyweights like Ron Carter and Urbie Green enriches the arrangements, adding depth to Jobim’s Brazilian rhythms. Visually, the original cover’s solarized giraffe image by Pete Turner invites a curious glance, hinting at the album’s blend of the familiar and the exotic. This 1967 Pitman pressing of Wave arrives in near-mint condition, presenting exceptionally clean vinyl that looks as close to new as you can hope for from a record of this vintage. It’s a solid choice for collectors or listeners who appreciate a pristine pressing that honors the album’s legacy without distraction. After all, not every giraffe on the shelf manages to look this sharp.
