In September of 2020, we had the distinct pleasure of speaking with pianist, arranger, producer and educator Antonio Adolfo (Season 1, Episode 22) At that time, Antonio had just released his album titled “BruMa.” Now, a little over a year later, we catch up with him about his newest release, “Jobim Forever,” a tribute to the music of Brazil’s greatest maestro, composer Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Another ATJ guest, acclaimed music critic Scott Yanow, said in L.A. Jazz Times, “Jobim Forever is an easy album to enjoy and it does full justice to the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim. Thus far, every recording of Antonio Adolfo that I have heard is recommended - and this one is certainly no exception.”

We could not agree more.

Explore with us the backstory of how Antonio Adolfo came to create this exquisite tribute to the icon of Brazilian music known as Bossa Nova.
