Taylor produced, Eumir Deodato wrote the arrangements, and the sessions took place at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in New Jersey, the combination that gave CTI its famously warm, polished sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a darker, earthier Jobim. \"Tereza My Love\" floats on a lazy, sun-warmed groove, while \"Children's Games\" skips along with playful melodic turns. The title track \"Stone Flower\" carries a moody, almost cinematic weight, and his take on \"Brazil\" stretches Ary Barroso's famous standard into something slower and more searching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJobim's own piano and guitar sit at the centre, framed by Deodato's subtle orchestral touches and percussion that never crowds the melody. Every element leaves room for the others, and the space between the notes matters as much as the notes themselves. It's music that rewards close, late-night listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who knows Jobim mainly through his best-loved hits, Stone Flower reveals the composer at his most adventurous and introspective, and this marbled pressing gives it a collector's finish to match.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518444249393,"sku":"8719262046955","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Antonio_Carlos_Jobim-Stone_Flower_Clear_Black_Marble_Holland_Import.jpg?v=1794678806","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/antonio-carlos-jobim-stone-flower-clear-black-marble-holland-import","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
