Antonio Carlos Jobim - Tide (1970)

Two albums were recorded simultaneously in the spring of 1970 by Jobim, with Eumir Deodato at the helm as arranger: one was the more contemporary-sounding Stone Flower (see list below), and the other was Tide.  This album was conceived more as an orchestral-Latin jazz sequel to Wave (also below), and was even packaged in an old-style album cover from the earliest days of CTI to match.  Furthering the link, the title track was a deft re-write of Wave's title track.

Nothing, of course (IMHO) could be as good as Wave, but Tide is still a gorgeous album on its own merits.  Deodato is never less than a fine arranger, concentrating on brass and winds where Claus Ogerman gave Wave its lightness of touch with strings.  Highlights include the flute-led Tema Jazz, the percussive Remember (which does sound a bit more of a piece with the material on Stone Flower) and the languid Caribe.
