He was a primary force behind the creation of the bossa nova style, and his songs have been performed by many singers and instrumentalists within Brazil and internationally. Widely known as the composer of "Garota de Ipanema" ("The Girl from Ipanema"), one of the most recorded songs of all time, Jobim has left a large number of songs that are now included in jazz and pop standard repertoires. The song "Garota de Ipanema" has been recorded over 240 times by other artists. ==Early life== Antônio Carlos Jobim was born in the middle-class district of Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro. His father Jorge de Oliveira Jobim (São Gabriel, Rio Grande do Sul, April 23, 1889 – July 19, 1935) was a writer, diplomat, professor and journalist. He came from a prominent family, being the great-grand nephew of José Martins da Cruz Jobim,〔Programa ''Roda Viva (TV Cultura)'', entrevista Tom Jobim Domingo, 19 de Dezembro de 1993 (PGM0385) (Online transcription and video of the interview )〕 senator, privy councillor and physician of Emperor Dom Pedro II. While studying medicine in Europe, José Martins added ''Jobim'' to his last name, paying homage to the village where his family came from in Portugal, the parish of Santa Cruz de Jovim, Porto.〔CORADINI, O. L.: ''Important families and the professional elite within brazilian medicine''. História, Ciências, Saúde—Manguinhos, III (3) 425–466, November 1996 – February 1997. (Online .pdf )〕〔SILVA, Innocêncio Francisco da: ''Diccionario Bibliographico Portuguez: Applicaveis a Portugal e ao Brasil'', Lisboa 1860, p. 62〕 When Antônio was still an infant, his parents separated and his mother, Nilza Brasileiro de Almeida (c. 1910 – November 17, 1989), moved with her children (Antônio Carlos and his sister Helena Isaura, born February 23, 1931) to Ipanema, the beachside neighborhood the composer would later celebrate in his songs. In 1935, when the elder Jobim died, Nilza married Celso da Frota Pessoa (died February 2, 1979), who would encourage his stepson's career. He was the one who gave Jobim his first piano. As a young man of limited means, Jobim earned his living by playing in nightclubs and bars and later as an arranger for a recording label, before starting to achieve success as a composer. Jobim's musical roots were planted firmly in the work of Pixinguinha, the legendary musician and composer who began modern Brazilian music in the 1930s. Among his teachers were Lúcia Branco, and, from 1941 on, Hans-Joachim Koellreutter. Jobim was also influenced by the French composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, by the Brazilian composers Heitor Villa-Lobos, Ary Barroso, and by jazz. Among many themes, his lyrics talked about love, self-discovery, betrayal, joy and especially about the birds and natural wonders of Brazil, like the "Mata Atlântica" forest, characters of Brazilian folklore, and his home city of Rio de Janeiro. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antônio Carlos Jobim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
