A Man and His Music + Ella + Jobim was a 1967 television special starring Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Antonio Carlos Jobim, accompanied by the orchestras of Nelson Riddle and Gordon Jenkins. The medley that Jobim & Sinatra sing together was arranged by Claus Ogerman.
Earlier in the year Sinatra had recorded the album Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim with Jobim, and this show offered a rare opportunity to see them both in live performance.
Sinatra had featured Ella on his Timex television shows in the late 1950s, and this show marked their first televisual appearance together since then, and their last until a series of live concerts at Caesars Palace in 1974.
