As part of the 30th anniversary of Tom Jobim’s death, Paula Morelenbaum and Arthur Nestrovski release “Jobim Canção”, an album that arrived on the platforms on November 12 (Biscoito Fino). Nothing more natural for the singer who was part of Jobim’s New Band for a decade, and is internationally recognized as one of the greatest interpreters of this repertoire. And also for the soloist of “Jobim Violão”, an album that is a reference for guitarists and Jobimians.

Tracing an arc of five decades, “Jobim Canção” brings together a minimal collection – 10 songs – but representative of the career of composer Antônio Carlos Jobim (1927/1994). “The list started from Paula’s desire to record only songs that she had never recorded before, on her own albums. It was only after selecting the 10 tracks, when we researched the dates of composition of each one, that we realized the arc of five decades of Jobim’s musical creation. It came in handy, echoing the video lessons of the series ‘The Long Art of Antônio Carlos Jobim’, which we made together for the platforms of Piauí magazine”, points out Arthur Nestrovski.

For Paula Morelenbaum, living with the maestro, for an intense 10 years, was enriching in all the old ones, especially as a singer and musician. “My only experience had been with the vocal group Céu da Boca, all very young like me. When I joined Nova Banda I was able to travel the world, experience international showbiz. Other than that, Tom always called me to sing solo numbers in shows, albums and programs he did. I understood that he liked my voice and my way of singing.” The ten years of musical interaction turned into friendship, and changed Paula’s perception of the composer’s songs: “I became a PHD in Tom Jobim!”.
