Customer Reviews:

Bossa Nova.......2007-03-28

I like Bossa Nova, beautiful music, and I like all the cd's I have purchased

Timeless.......2007-02-10

As for the Amazon editor reviewer, I cannot imagine what kind of dead soul would say that these arrangements approach stale cheese. I pity people who cannot find their feelings under the weight of their infotainmentized pseudo-intellect. It's a gorgous piece of work, Ogerman's orchestrations and all, and if it approaches kitsch, well, that would only be true for minds who grew up having second-hand lives and experiences from growing up on TV and 'simulated living' - that pitiful Tarantino crowd of arrmchair weasel critics. It's true that Jobim had some less than stellar albums, but this was not one of them. Stick that up your Sunporch Cha-Cha-Cha.

Not what I was after.......2007-01-15

Was looking for that warm samba/bahia/bossa sound and what I got here was dangerously close to elevator music. Maybe really high quality elevator music, but nevertheless. This guy is acknowledged as a master, and I have no doubt he is, but this flavor is sooooo smooth that it feels more like lawrence welk.

Eternal.......2007-01-11

Eternal in beauty, in refined arrangements, in smoothness, perfect for a erotico- romantic night.

perfection.......2006-09-02

This is Jobim's finest album, although Stone Flower and Tide are certainly worth checking out. The songwriting on this album is sublime, the arrangements are brilliant and the execution is flawless. The melodies are minimal, yet strikingly elegant: they are small but very effective, impressionistic tone poems, each exquisite in its own right.

There doesn't seem to be a single misplaced or extraneous note on this entire album--it is as close to perfection as anything I've heard. Wave is really a beautifully crafted album in every detail. I can't praise this album enough. Listen to this.
