Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim (50th Anniversary Edition)

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim is a 1967 album by Frank Sinatra and Antônio Carlos Jobim. The tracks were arranged and conducted by Claus Ogerman, accompanied by a studio orchestra. Along with Jobim's original compositions, the album features three standards from the Great American Songbook, arranged in the bossa nova style. Sinatra and Jobim followed up this album with sessions for a second collaboration, titled Sinatra-Jobim. That album was briefly released on 8-track tape in 1969 before being taken out of print at Sinatra's behest, due to concerns over its sales potential. Several of the Sinatra-Jobim tracks were subsequently incorporated in the Sinatra & Company album and the Sinatra–Jobim Sessions compilation. In 2010 the Concord Records label issued a new, comprehensive compilation titled Sinatra/Jobim: The Complete Reprise Recordings. At the 10th Annual Grammy Awards in 1968, Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, but lost to the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Sinatra had won the previous two Grammy awards for album of the year, in 1967 and 1966, and Jobim 1965.
