Desafinado is a bossa nova song composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim (Tom Jobim) and Newton Mendonça and recorded by João Gilberto on November 10, 1958, at Estúdios Odeon , in Rio de Janeiro . The song would be released in February 1959 as a single by the EMI-Odeon record label and included on their debut album, Chega de Saudade , released in the second week of March of that year. It is considered one of the seminal songs in the musical style and one that best defines the genre. The song is a response to criticism at the time, which considered bossa nova as music for out-of-tune singers. The song was later recorded by several artists, including Antônio Carlos Jobim , Herb Alpert , Nara Leão , Ella Fitzgerald and Stan Getz who, in 1963, won the Grammy for Best Jazz Performance by a Soloist or Small Group for the song. Two English-language adaptations of the song were performed: Slightly Out of Tune by Jon Hendricks and Off Key by Gene Lees. This arrangment is for 01 Flute, 01 Bb Clarinet, 01 Flugelhorn, 01 Trombone, Accompaniment Chords and Acoustic Bass.
