What Is Music According to Tom Jobim About?

The premise of Music According to Tom Jobim without spoilers.

A musical portrait explores the life and legacy of Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos “Tom” Jobim (1927-1994), the creator of bossa nova. This distinctive genre, a blend of jazz and samba, gained international recognition with “The Girl from Ipanema.” The film combines seamlessly edited concert footage from across decades and locations—including Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon, Paris, and Tokyo—and features Frank Sinatra, who famously remarked on the quiet intensity of singing Jobim’s music.
