Antonio CarlosJobim - Brazil's Greatest ComposerBrazilian songwriter, composer, arranger, singer and pianist guitarist Antnio Carlos Jobim, known in Brazil as Tom Jobim, was a driving force behind the emergence of the bossa nova style. In addition, his songs (most of which had lyrics by the poet, diplomat and bohemian Vincius de Moraes) have become true classics and have transcended the genre, being performed and recorded by countless singers and instrumentalists in Brazil and around the world.
