***This "Desafinado" recording is thought to be a bootleg and is therefore most likely not a legitimate release of the included material.  It is believed to be a bootleg for the following reasons: rights to reissue these tracks originally found in four different LPs/CDs are not mentioned anywhere in the package, the producers of the original material (of which, Claus Ogerman is one) are not mentioned anywhere in the package, and liner notes for this CD were plagerized verbatim from another website containing text information on Claus Ogerman's career. In addition, this disc is only available from one online store in Europe.***

In German, from the CD:

Von amerikanischen Musikjournalisten wird Tom Jobim bis in die heutigen Tage hinein regelmäßig in einem Atemzug mit den ganz großen Autoren des "Great American Songbook" - George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin - genannt. In Brasilien verordnete der damalige Präsident bei Bekanntwerden von Jobims Ableben drei Tage Staatstrauer und in Toms Heimatstadt Rio de Janeiro benannte man den internationalen Flughafen nach ihm um. Eigentlich wollte der Brasilianer Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim (1927-1994) Architekt werden, doch seine ausgeprägte Musikalität zog ihm sämtliche Energien ab. In den Nachtclubs von Rio begleitete der 20 jährige Student seine eigenen Songs mit Klavier und Gitarre, begegnete 1958 dem damals noch unbekannten brasilianischen Sänger Joao Gilberto und wurde schließlich zum Architekten des Bossa Nova. Berühmte Jazz-Standards wie "Girl from Ipanema" oder "Desafinado" stammen aus Jobims Feder und fanden ihre internationale Verbreitung in den frühen Sechzigern vor allem durch den Saxophonisten Stan Getz und den Gitarristen Charlie Byrd. Jobim, der in englischer und portugiesischer Sprache sang, nahm in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Arrangeur Claus Ogerman zahlreiche Platten auf, arrangierte und komponierte unter anderem für Frank Sinatra, Nelson Riddle und Aretha Franklin.

In English, as translated by Wolfgang Weissbrodt:

Down to the present day, American music journalists mention Tom Jobim regularly in one breath along with the greatest authors of the "Great American Songbook" - George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin. In Brasil the president ordered three days of statewide mourning when Jobim’s passing became known.  And in Tom’s hometown Rio de Janeiro they named the international airport after him. Originally Brazilian Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim (1927-1994) desired to become an architect, but his pronounced musical sense stripped him of all energies. In the nightclubs of Rio the 20 year-old university scholar accompanied his own songs with piano and guitar, in 1958 he met the then unknown Brazilian singer João Gilberto and finally became the architect of Bossa Nova. Famous jazz-standards like "The Girl from Ipanema" or "Desafinado" originate from Jobim’s pen und spread internationally in the early sixties mainly through saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist Charlie Byrd. Jobim, who sang in English and Portuguese language, recorded numerous records in collaboration with arranger Claus Ogerman, among others he arranged and composed for were Frank Sinatra, Nelson Riddle and Aretha Franklin.
