Description
"How Insensitive" is a jazz standard composed by Brazilian musician Antonio Carlos Jobim. The song was first recorded by Jobim himself in 1967, featuring on his album "Wave". Since then, the song has been recorded by numerous jazz musicians, including Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, and João Gilberto.
One of the most notable recordings of "How Insensitive" was made by saxophonist Stan Getz in 1968. Getz's version, featuring pianist João Gilberto and drummer Elvin Jones, is considered to be one of the definitive recordings of the song. Getz's smooth saxophone playing and Gilberto's delicate guitar work complement the melody of the song perfectly, creating a sense of nostalgia and longing.
"How Insensitive" has become a jazz standard due to its timeless melody, memorable lyrics, and its ability to be interpreted in a variety of different styles. It has been performed by jazz musicians of all generations and has been featured in various films, television shows, and commercials. The song's popularity has also led to it being covered by non-jazz artists, such as Norah Jones and Diana Krall.
The song's importance as a jazz standard is also reflected in its inclusion in the Great American Songbook, a collection of standards from the American popular music canon. The song's enduring popularity and its ability to be interpreted in a variety of different styles is a testament to the songwriting skill of Antonio Carlos Jobim and its place in the jazz canon.
