Sinatra & Jobim @ 50
2017 studio album by John Pizzarelli, featuring Daniel Jobim
Sinatra & Jobim @ 50 is a latin jazz album by John Pizzarelli, released in 2017 with Concord Jazz. It's a tribute to the 1967 album Francis Albert Sinatra & Antônio Carlos Jobim, released fifty years ago at the time of recording.[1] It's also Pizzarelli's first foray into the genre since his 2004 album Bossa Nova.[2]
The album features Jobim's grandson Daniel Jobim on piano and vocals, whose parts were recorded in his native Brazil.[3] Other backing vocals are provided by his wife Jessica Molaskey, and daughter Madeleine Pizzarelli.[4]
The tracks include Antonio's Song, a tribute to Jobim by Michael Franks[5] whom Pizzarelli also cited as a hero of his.[6] Also included are two new tracks written by Pizzarelli and Molaskey.
