# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Antônio Carlos Jobim was born in Rio de Janeiro on 25 January 1927, a pianist, guitarist, and composer who would become one of the most celebrated songwriters of the 20th century. In the 1960s he pioneered bossa nova, merging samba with cool jazz in a way that made Brazilian music an international idiom. His compositions entered the standard repertoire — played and recorded worldwide since the early '60s — and the 1964 album Getz/Gilberto, which featured several of his works, won Album of the Year and sent "Garota de Ipanema" to Record of the Year as a single. He recorded with Frank Sinatra in 1967; that album earned an Album of the Year nomination. Jobim died on 8 December 1994, a year before his final album won the Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album.
