When I found the 'Elis Regina & Tom Jobim' album at Borders quite a few years ago, it was like gold.... this was just before downloading. Young music lovers have got it so good now. Although, the prize was always better after a hard battle.
Elis Regina & Tom Jobim released the 'Elis & Tom' album in 1974. A project initiated by Elis Regina after she had always wanted to record an album of Antonio Carlos Jobim songs with the man himself. Luckily for us, her wish was granted. She was the Queen of Brazilian music (most genres) and he was the King of Bossa Nova. "Aguas de Março" is the playful opening track and from this alone, it was clear they were hitting it off in the studio. This album is worthy of any collection and at least you won't have to go to the effort I went to... sorte você!
