From Arnaldo DeSouteiro's Jazz Station Blog:
For the first time in over three decades, the Frank
Sinatra/Antonio Carlos Jobim sessions are now together in "The Complete
Reprise Recordings," the most comprehensive compilation of the
Sinatra/Jobim sessions yet. The CD, scheduled for release in the USA on
May 4, by Concord Records, includes all songs they cut together during
the 1967 and 1969 sessions.
The 10 tracks from the first meeting, released on the "Francis
Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim" LP, co-produced by Sonny
Burke & Ray Gilbert, were arranged & conducted by Claus
Ogerman, featuring Jobim on acoustic guitar & vocals, Don Payne on
bass and Dom Um Romão on drums. None of the unreleased alternate takes
are included on this forthcoming CD.
The second Jobim/Sinatra meeting, back in 1969, once again
produced by Sonny Burke, yielded other 10 tracks, but, at the last
minute, the singer's management decided to cancel the LP release.
Then, in 1971, 7 of those tracks were included in the "Sinatra
& Company" album, which didn't include "Bonita," "Sabiá" (released
on single format only in Italy!) and "Desafinado." All songs were
arranged by Eumir Deodato and conducted by Morris Stoloff, since
Sinatra, as usual, recorded everything "live", together with the
orchestra, and Deodato was busy playing piano. The stellar cast of
sidemen also included João Palma, Claudio Slon, Chico Batera, Chuck
Berghofer, Ted Nash, Milt Bernhart, Paul Horn, Buddy Collette, Dick
Nash, Ken Shroyer, Vincent DeRosa and Israel Baker, among many others.
