Antonio Carlos Jobim - Composer

I was introduced to Antonio Carlos Jobim’s work in the late ’90s, thanks to Viktor Doby’s Brazilian girlfriend, whom he had met fleetingly in Greece on a volcano, but that didn’t stop her from visiting him in Budapest. Viktor was busy at that time, so as a student of architecture with plenty of free time I was honored to have been her guide. And this turned out to be an enjoyable task, because Priscillia was highly interested in our turn-of-the-century architecture and Art Nouveau. In return, she introduced Brazilian music to me. She presented this album to Viktor, who was less enthusiastic about it than I, soon developing into a bossa nova afficinado, that even made me write a tune titled “The Girl from the Volcano” (still unpublished).
