Recorded in 1970 at Rudy Van Gelders studio under the production auspices ofCreed Taylor, the arrangement and conducting skills of Deodato, and theengineering expertise of Van Gelder himself, Jobims Stone Flower is quitesimply one of his most quietly stunning works. Stone Flower is simply brilliant,a velvety, late-night snapshot of Jobim at his peak. This 180gram vinyl reissuewas mastered from analog tapes by Bernie Grundman and pressed onaudiophile-grade vinyl at Pallas in Germany.
One of the great popular music composers of the 20th Century, Antonio CarlosJobim emerged from Brazil’s burgeoning bossa nova movement of the early-1960s.The quietly powerful Stone Flower contains nine graceful compositions includingthe jazz waltz “Children’s Games,” the sublime “Choro,” the sophisticated”Andorinha,” and the dramatic title track.
With flawless arrangements from fellow Brazilian Eumir Deodato, the silky smoothset features Jobim on piano, acoustic guitar, and, occasionally his trademarkhusky, half-whispered vocals with further accompaniment from Joe Farrell(soprano saxophone), Urbie Green (trombone), Ron Carter (double bass), JoãoPalma (drums), Harry Loofosky (violin) and Airto Moreira/Everaldo Ferreira(percussion).
