Elis & Tom is a bossa nova album recorded by Brazilian singer Elis Regina and singer/songwriter Antônio Carlos Jobim, released in 1974.
Recorded over a 16-day period at MGM Studios in Los Angeles, California, the album was an old wish of Elis, who always wanted to record a full album of Jobim's songs with him - the dream finally became true in 1974, when Elis was celebrating her 10th anniversary as an artist of Philips Records. The label approved the project as a gift for her.
In 2004, the 30th anniversary of the initial release, a remastered Special Edition was released on DVD Audio which included a 5.1 multi-channel surround mix from the original master tapes.[2]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awards the album 4.5 stars and states "This beautiful — and now legendary — recording date between iconic Brazilian vocalist Elis Regina and composer, conductor, and arranger Tom Jobim is widely regarded as one of the greatest Brazilian pop recordings."[3]
It was ranked 11th on Rolling Stone's Top 100 Brazilian albums of all time.[4] The album was inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2007.[5]
