He was a primary force behind the creation of the bossa nova style, and his songs have been performed by many singers and instrumentalists within Brazil and internationally.
In 1965 his album Getz/Gilberto was the first jazz album to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. It also won for Best Jazz Instrumental Album – Individual or Group and for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The album's single "Garota de Ipanema" ("The Girl from Ipanema"), one of the most recorded songs of all time, won the Record of the Year. Jobim has left many songs that are now included in jazz and pop standard repertoires. The song "Garota de Ipanema" has been recorded over 240 times by other artists. His 1967 album with Frank Sinatra, Francis Albert Sinatra & Antônio Carlos Jobim, was nominated for Album of the Year in 1968.
Antônio Carlos Jobim was born in the middle-class district of Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro. His father, Jorge de Oliveira Jobim (São Gabriel, Rio Grande do Sul, April 23, 1889 – July 19, 1935), was a writer, diplomat, professor and journalist. He came from a prominent family, being the great nephew of José Martins da Cruz Jobim, senator, privy councillor and physician of Emperor Dom Pedro II. While studying medicine in Europe, José Martins added Jobim to his last name, paying homage to the village where his family came from in Portugal, the parish of Santa Cruz de Jovim, Porto. His mother, Nilza Brasileiro de Almeida (c. 1910 – November 17, 1989), was of Indigenous Brazilian descent from Northeastern Brazil.
When Antônio was still an infant, his parents separated and his mother moved with her children (Antônio Carlos and his sister Helena Isaura, born February 23, 1931) to Ipanema, the beachside neighborhood the composer would later celebrate in his songs. In 1935, when the elder Jobim died, Nilza married Celso da Frota Pessoa (died February 2, 1979), who would encourage his stepson's career. He was the one who gave Jobim his first piano. As a young man of limited means, Jobim earned his living by playing in nightclubs and bars and later as an arranger for a recording label, before starting to achieve success as a composer.
Jobim's musical roots were planted firmly in the work of Pixinguinha, the legendary musician and composer who began modern Brazilian music in the 1930s. Among his teachers were Lúcia Branco and, from 1941 on, Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, a German composer who lived in Brazil and introduced atonal and twelve-tone composition in the country. Jobim was also influenced by the French composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, and by the Brazilian composers Heitor Villa-Lobos and Ary Barroso. The bossa nova guitar style in Jobim's music has become firmly entrenched in jazz culture. Among many themes, his lyrics talked about love, self-discovery, betrayal, joy and especially about the birds and natural wonders of Brazil, like the "Mata Atlântica" forest, characters of Brazilian folklore and his home city of Rio de Janeiro.
In early 1994, after finishing his album Antonio Brasileiro, Jobim complained to his doctor, Roberto Hugo Costa Lima, of urinary problems. He underwent an operation at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City on December 2, 1994. On December 8, while recovering from surgery, he had a cardiac arrest caused by a pulmonary embolism, and two hours later another cardiac arrest, from which he died. He was survived by his children and grandchildren. His last album, Antonio Brasileiro, was released posthumously three days after his death.
His body lay in state until given a proper burial on December 20, 1994. He is buried in the Cemitério São João Batista in Rio de Janeiro.

The girl from Ipanema goes walking
背が高くて日焼けしてる若くて美しいイパネマの娘が歩いていく
And when she passes, each one she passes goes "ah"
そして彼女とすれ違う人はみんな「ああ」って言う
When she walks, she′s like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes "ah"
彼女とすれ違う人はみんな「ああ」って言う
Oh,But I watch her so sadly
おお、しかし私は凄く悲しそうに彼女を見てる
How can I tell her, "I love you?"
どうすれば彼女に「あなたを愛してます」って伝えんだろう
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
自分の心を喜んで捧げるけど
But each day, when she walks to the sea
毎日、彼女が海へ歩いて行くとき
She looks straight ahead, not at me
彼女は私じゃないく真っ直ぐ前を見てる
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
背が高くて日焼けしてる若くて美しいイパネマの娘が歩いていく
And when she passes, I smile but she doesn't see, doesn′t see
そして彼女とすれ違う時に私が笑顔を見せても彼女は私のことを見てない、見てない
"Ipanema no Musume" or "The Girl from Ipanema" is a classic bossa nova song written by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes in 1962. The song is about a young and beautiful girl who walks along the shores of Ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She captures the attention of everyone who sees her due to her height and sun-kissed complexion, moving gracefully like a samba. As she passes by, those who see her cannot help but express their awe and admiration with an "ah." While many admire her, the singer of the song feels sadness as he watches her go by to the sea each day, without ever being able to tell her how he feels.
The song's message of unspoken love and unrequited longing has made it a classic and a beloved standard in popular music. The vivid imagery of the girl and the beach, combined with the melancholic tone of the lyrics, has made the song a powerful evocation of youth, beauty, and the fleeting nature of love. The song has been covered by many artists in various languages since its release in the 1960s.

Portuguese lyrics:
Olha que coisa mais linda, mais cheia de graça
É ela menina que vem e que passa, num doce balanço a caminho do mar
Moça do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançando é mais que um poema, é a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar
Ah, porque estou tão sozinho?
Ah, porque tudo é tão triste?
Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha
Que também passa sozinha
Ah, mas se ela soubesse que quando ela passa, o mundo inteirinho se enche de graça e fica mais lindo por causa do amor
Por causa do amor
