Jobim fake book?

[Bill C]

Is there a definitive sheet music collection of Jobim's songs? I have
a number of the popular jazz fake books with Wave, Triste, Desafinado
etc but no sheet music for some of the lesser known gems.

[Michael L Kankiewicz]

I have one called "Antonio Carlos Jobim and the Art of Bossa Nova
Jazz" which includes a play-along CD, but it only has 10 songs.

There is a brazilian 3 volume edition with probably all songs, just chords
and melodies.

Look here: <http://www.lumiar.com.br/ingles/abertura/intro_e.htm>
Click on songbooks and then scroll down to jobim.

They link to <http://www.vitale.com.br/> to buy their stuff (portuges).
Don't know if they ship internationally or if it's distributed in other
countries.

(hint: or just do a google search...)

There are plenty.
5 Volumes in portugese, by Almir Chediak.
Published by Lumiar Editora.
(Interesting because they have the 'brazilian' chord grids.)

I highly recommend this set if it is still available. I bought mine
from Guitar Solo in San Francisco over 15 years ago. They should have
still them or should be able to get them if they don't have them in
stock. http://www.gspguitar.com/

Some years ago, I came across this book in a little shop in Rio:

http://www.vitale.com.br/sistema/produtos/produto.asp?codigo=33464

If you can manage to find a copy (or order from the web site) you
won't be disappointed.
It has forty songs in it with very accurate lead sheets, lyrics, and
guitar chord fingerings.

I just noticed that you can see the first 28 pages of the book online!

This may have been the set that Jobim gave to me personally back
around 1993. I did a TV interview with him in his home in Rio. He gave
me the set after the interview. Unfortunately they were stolen with a
lot of other stuff years later in a move.

Here is a bio of Chediak: http://www.brazzil.com/pages/musdec99.htm

From what I can tell, the books are out of print. I don't the policy
at rmmgj about sharing copyrighted material. If it is OOP is it OK?
Or is it strictly verboten? If someone can inform me of the policy by
email (not on the group) I do have scans of all three jobim volumes
that I'd be glad to share.

Brazilian grids= the chords ' as originally played'. Means that they
contain the voice leading,( and you 'll end up learning plenty of new
chords probably )

[terra...@gmail.com]

Or you could check these in the mean time.Again it is in portugese,
but if you don't know portugese , but master a mouthfull of french or
spanish you'll manage :

there are brazilians on this NG, no?

[rpjazzguitar]

Guitar Solo in San Francisco handled the Chediak books. Might be worth
checking with them. '

There is also a Jobim For Guitar with notation and tab floating around
the internet.

[Jeanmi]

This site has a nice song selection, more than most jazz fake books.
Only chords but I learned many songs from this site.

[Jeanmi]

Oh, and yes, the Almir Chediak books are an absolute must have for
jobim music. Chediak spent a lot of time with Jobim, with a guitar in
hand, to make these book: it doesn't get any better than that.

I have the Chediak series as well, but I prefer Jobim Essencial
because the lyrics are placed directly under the melody, which is an
advantage if you're learning a song you don't know very well.
The binding Jobim Essencial is better as well...it stays flat on a
music stand.
Owning both books, I'd say the the accuracy of the melody/chord
voicings is about the same in both.

The Chediak books are cool because they contain a lot of interesting
biographical info on the artists.

One of my favorites is S� Tinha De Ser Com Voc�

Sorry to hijack this thread, but.....

Oi, Fred,

Since you are from Brazil, I would appreciate your feedback on a few of my
songs, which are in the Brazilian style, or influenced by that style at
least, complete with Portuguese lyrics ( by Bianca Rossini ). Let me know
what you think. www.jazzytunes.com

Obrigado,
Patrick
