With over 12 tracks, many of Jobim's defining songs are covered, from "The Girl from Ipanema" the song that kick-started the careers of both Jobim and Astrud Gilberto, while also bringing bossa nova to popular consciousness to "Corcovado Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars," a song proving that Jobim's talent only grew in emotional depth and complexity over ten years of being in the public eye. Though two-thirds of this collection focuses, rightly so, on his material from the early to mid-'60s, four tracks glimpse at his career in the 1970s and '80s as proof that Jobim's high standards, both as a songwriter and producer, were never forsaken. 20th Century Masters - The Best of Antonio Carlos Jobim proves an excellent set for those casually interested in exploring Jobim's work and the shaping of bossa nova.
