Notes from the back cover (jacket):

This is the sound of Antonio Carlos Jobim. At 36 he is one of the leading figures in popular music in Brazil, and his initial work on “Bossa Nova” with Joao Gilberto and Luiz Bonfa has made this new music the world-wide favorite. He plays piano and guitar and composes such great melodies as Desafinado, One Note Samba, and Insensatez.
