Desafinado - Antonio-Carlos Jobim

Go to newest post
And yet another version! One of the first records I ever bought (and the first time I heard this tune) was 1962's "Dizzy on the French Riviera". Gillespie stayed pretty true to Jobim's original (other than playing it in G) but seems like I've spent my life fighting a losing battle over that idiotic mess in the first Real Book. Anyway, just for the helluvit:

Desafinado (Dizzy's changes)

Settings: Jazz > Bossa Nova; Tempo = Dizzy did it about 210 but Whew!

Could you also share the source of your Intro?

Hmm—I suspect the first repeat is a mistake …
Here with slightly different chord values from Jobim's own arrangement in the "Jobim Cancioneiro" book
NB I expanded the first two measures just so you can see the C7b9sus, but it's still 4/4! Melody starts at measure 3

Desafinado (intro from Jobim Cancioneiro) - Antônio Carlos Jobim
 
On a TV show some years ago, Herbie, Jobim and company played the four bars before the bridge like this: AMaj7 - G13+11 - FMaj7 - E7+9. Made it more interesting than playing the first four bars of the bridge twice.
 
Important thing : Desafinado is from Newton Mendonça too. Wikipedia : "Mendonça went on to co-compose music and lyrics for Desafinado, Meditação, and Samba de uma nota só."

He died early, at 33. With Jobim, they alternated words and music, swapping places on the piano.
