Born to a Brazilian-Jewish mother and a gentile father in Rio de Janeiro, his stage name means "Mandolin Jacob", after the instrument he played. A perfectionist, Jacob was able to achieve from his band Época de Ouro the highest levels of quality. Jacob hated the stereotype of the "dishevelled, drunk folk musician" and required commitment and impeccable dress from his musicians who, like himself, all held "day jobs." Jacob worked as a pharmacist, insurance salesman, street vendor, and finally notary public, to support himself while also working "full time" as a musician. In addition to his virtuoso playing, he is famous for his many choro compositions, more than 103 tunes, which range from the lyrical melodies of "Noites Cariocas" ("Carioca Nights"), Receita de Samba and "Doce de Coco" to the aggressively jazzy "Assanhado", which is reminiscent of bebop. He also researched and attempted to preserve the older choro tradition, as well as that of other Brazilian music styles. Jacob had 2 mandolins, which he called "number one" and "number two". After his death they were kept in storage until 2002, when they received minor restoration. Now under the care of Instituto Jacob do Bandolim, they have been used in a few recordings again Music in this video Learn more Listen ad-free with YouTube Premium Song Assanhado Artist Jacob Do Bandolim Licensed to YouTube by SME (on behalf of Sony BMG Music Entertainment); UNIAO BRASILEIRA DE EDITORAS DE MUSICA - UBEM, UMPI, LatinAutor - UMPG, LatinAutorPerf, UMPG Publishing, SODRAC, and 4 Music Rights Societies Song Bola Preta Artist Jacob Do Bandolim Album Caixa Jacob Do Bandolim Licensed to YouTube by SME (on behalf of RCA Records Label); LatinAutorPerf, Sony ATV Publishing, Associação Defensora de Direitos Autorais - ADAAF, UNIAO BRASILEIRA DE EDITORAS DE MUSICA - UBEM, UMPG Publishing, BMI - Broadcast Music Inc., LatinAutor - SonyATV, and 1 Music Rights Societies Song Vou Vivendo Artist Jacob Do Bandolim Album In Memoriam Licensed to YouTube by SME (on behalf of Sony BMG Music Entertainment); Peermusic, LatinAutorPerf, LatinAutor, BMI - Broadcast Music Inc., UNIAO BRASILEIRA DE EDITORAS DE MUSICA - UBEM, LatinAutor - PeerMusic, and 4 Music Rights Societies
