(1980)The "Sinatra-Jobim Sessions" is a 1979 double LP compilation album of Frank Sinatra's work with Antonio Carlos Jobim. The album was published only in Brazil by producer Roberto Quartin, and has never been re-released on vinyl or CD.

All but three songs recorded by Sinatra and Jobim in 1967 and 1969 were released on "Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim" (1967) and "Sinatra & Company" (1971). The tracks "Bonita", "Sabiá", and "Off Key (Desafinado)", however, were previously only available on the 8-track "Sinatra-Jobim" (1970), which was quickly pulled from release [http://www.8trackheaven.com/sinatra.html] . The first two of these tracks are included on "Sinatra-Jobim Sessions", making it eagerly sought by collectors. "Off Key (Desafinado)" was not included here and remained largely unavailable until Sinatra's "The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings" was released in 1998. This collection also included two recordings which do not actually feature Jobim, "Drinking Again" [http://sinatrafamily.com/forum/showthread.php?p=120041#post120041] and "Manhã De Carnaval".

Sinatra and Jobim worked together for a final time in 1994 on Duets II, recording a cover of "Fly Me to the Moon".
