Jobim/Moraes/Gilberto (1962) FIRST RECORDING [THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA]

Details

Description

The first ever recording of "The Girl From Ipanema". Recorded live at Au Bon Gourmet Nightclub in August of 1962. Featuring João Gilberto, Tom Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes, and Os Cariocas. This recording features an introductory verse, and to my knowledge it is the one and only instance that it it has ever been included in a recording.

Some notes about the composition as found on
https://www.jazzguitarcomprehensive.com/

Composer: Antônio Carlos Jobim

Lyricist: Vinicius De Moraes (Portuguese), Norman Gimbel (English)

Year: 1962

Origin: First released by Dos Cariocas in 1963.

Style: Bossa Nova

Form: A-A-B-A (40 Bars) [8-8-16-8]

Key: Most commonly played in F Major as well as Db Major.

Harmony/Overview: The A sections are very functional and harmonically speaking happen to be almost identical to Duke Ellington's "Take the A Train", although Jobim opts for the tri-tone substitution in place of the V7 chord. The bridge however is seemingly less functional and rather complex. The melody is first stated, then transposed up a minor 3rd, and then finally up a semi-tone. The underlying chord sequence does not deal entirely with functional harmony and it moves through the anomalous progression of bIImajor7 -  bV7 – bIImi7 – VI7 – IImi7 – bVII7, before a final III-VI-II-V back to the tonic.

Recordings: This song is the second most recorded pop song of all time. The first release comes from the Brazilian vocal group Dos Cariocas in 1963, although the first ever recording was of a live performance by Jobim in 1962. The 1964 recording by Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto was massively successful and was highly influential in solidifying the composition’s place in the Western jazz repertoire, and countless jazz musicians have gone on to record it since.
