This is not the first time that Sérgio Cabral writes a biography of Tom Jobim. Back in 1987, as part of the comemorations of the Maestro's sixtieth anniversary, CBPO - Companhia Brasileira de Projetos e Obras - a huge constrution company oriented to projects for the Brazilian government, sponsored the production of a Long Play album for distribution only among clients and friends. A few years later, the recordings were released to the public in a package of two CDs, under the title "Tom Jobim - Inédito". The original project included also Sergio Cabral's first biography of Tom Jobim.

The journalist told us he considers the first book as no more than a trailer of the text that Lumiar Publishing Company is now delivering to the bookstores. Besides the rich photographic material, the research effort of Sergio Cabral led him to details of Tom's childhood, such as performance records from his first school years. Make shure you check it out.
