Japanese reissue edition contains four bonus recordings: ""Tema Jazz (Alternate Edition),"" ""Tide (Alternate Edition),"" ""Tema Jazz (Alternate Edition 2),"" and ""Tema Jazz (Full Master Take)."" One of Antonio Carlos Jobim's best-known albums, 1970's TIDE is a companion piece to 1967's WAVE, a similarly lush and smooth collection for producer Creed Taylor's CTI Records. In fact, this album's lengthy title track is a theme-and-variations exploration of the main melodic line from WAVE's title track. For most of the album, Eumir Deodato, soon to become famous for his own contributions to lite-jazz fusion, handles the arrangements. Comparing his contributions to those of longtime Taylor arranger of choice Claus Ogerman, TIDE is a sprightlier album with a somewhat looser, less orchestrated feel. Of the new tracks, ""Tema Jazz"" is the highlight, although the sparkling ""Carinhoso"" is nearly its equal. This reissue features remastered sound and four bonus tracks, including three alternate takes of ""Tema Jazz.""Down Beat (9/00, p.67) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - ""...Indicates an artist straddling the fence between a maker of cocktail lounge kitsch and profound composer of American song....walking the fine line between the 'Girl From Ipanema' and various takes of the bossa nova workout 'Tema Jazz'..."""  (less)
