Wave - Guitar Chord Melody Solo - Jim Wright

Here's a jazzy bossa nova rendition of a song written by songwriter//pianist/ guitarist/vocalist Antonio Carlos Jobim, who enjoyed many successes between Getz/Gilberto (Girl From Ipanima) and the album Wave which was released in 1967. Jobim wrote the Portuguese and English lyrics for both songs. Jobim's gentle bossa novas often sang of love, sometimes sadly. However, "Wave" is about falling in love, "catch the wave, don't be afraid of loving me," and its repetitive phrase "the fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together" is testimony to the attributes of love.

Ella Fitzgerald recorded "Wave" in her 1981 tribute to Jobim, and a recently discovered recording of Mel Torme, Gerry Mulligan, and George Shearing in a 1982 concert features "Wave."
