    It's Powell with percussion and a flautist, from '63. One of my favorites of his, sparse in production, high in musicality.

    These Morelenbaum2Sakamoto are excellent:

    And this, without Sakamoto, but also with Jobim's son, is wonderful:

    I like the 1960's era Bossa Nova LP discs by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Luiz Bonfa, Sergio Mendes, and quite a few others. I would appreciate recommendations of 1970-current Brasilian music to seek out. Thanks!

    Here are a few:

    Paula Morelenbaum: Berimbaum, and Telecoteco
    Quarteto Jobim Morelenbaum
    Nara Leao: Garotta De Impanema, Abracos e Beijinhos
    Zizi Possi: Bossa, Per Amore, Valsa Brasileira
    Antonio Carlos Jobim: Canta Vinicius, Inedito
    Anything by Morlenbaum2Sakamoto
    Ceu

    Many more but these off the top of my head, favorites of mine.

    I recommend Elis & Tom from 1974, but I think everyone knows this one well:

    Well, the Chesky turned out to be a real stinker, but not because of the sonics. Even though this is is dubbed a Jobim songbook, there's certainly nothing Brazilian about the style of playing on the CD. Sadly disappointing.

    Well, I enjoy Jobim done non-bossa at times, they can be very good. For example, I love this album:

    This is an Italian jazz quartet, adventurous, not a bossa nova cliche in sight, very nice.

    It's this way, Lonson, back in the 60s when the Bossa Nova came to these shores, lots of jazz artists got on the bandwagon. Some of them sounded awkward, though the names don't come to mind now. Others did a good job at assimilating the Bossa Nova Sound. On this new Chesky, Hazeltine et al demonstrate that they are accomplished musicians, but the music they're putting out here seems to be reduced to background cocktail lounge music. Not sure I know what you mean by Bossa Nova cliché, but it seems to me that the mood/temper/feel of Jobim's music is missed here in (yawn) sort of ho-hum way. Great background stuff, for sure, all that's missing is the clinking of glasses.

    For a more challenging, jazz approach to Jobim, try this Hersch album. I like David Hazeltine and think he's generally underrated, but Hersch succeeds at making a more personal statement with the Jobim material.

    I think I understand, and that's what I love about the D'Andrea recording. Jobim's melodies totally stripped of bossa nova instrumentation, beat, production, and the themes and melodies used as jumping off points for improvisation. A challenging listen that I get more out of each time I play it.

    Sort of like Sonny Rollins jamming on "I'm An Old Cowhand" on Way out West?
