Friends of Hiver and 3Sepak! It is a pleasure to be able to show you through this page part of my work and projects as a guitarist musician.
To start my blog, I have decided to do it with a video of my last Jazz concert with my teacher and friend, a great guitarist graduated from Beerkle College of Music with whom we are currently working as a duo.
The song that we will present this time is "Once I Loved" is a bossa nova and jazz standard song composed in 1960 by Antônio Carlos Jobim, with lyrics by Vinícius de Moraes.
It was first recorded in 1961 by João Gilberto on his self-titled album João Gilberto (Brazil, Odeon 3202). Jobim recorded an instrumental version of the song in 1963 on his debut album, The Composer of Desafinado Plays.
In The Jazz Standards: A Guide to the Repertoire, jazz critic Ted Gioia credits Frank Sinatra for the song's popularity. "Even during the height of the bossa nova craze, which peaked around 1964-65, 'Once I Loved' was not well known and conspicuous by its absence on most bossa nova theme albums of the era. But after Sinatra's recording in 1967, the song became one of Jobim's best known and covered compositions."
Friends I hope you enjoy our interpretation and thanks so much for visiting my post!
