Notes
Originally released in March 1964, this collaboration between saxophonist
Stan Getz and guitarist João Gilberto came at seemingly the end of the bossa
nova craze Getz himself had sparked in 1962 with Jazz Samba, his release
with American guitarist Charlie Byrd. Jazz Samba remains the only jazz album
to reach number one in the pop charts... Getz/Gilberto, which featured composer
Antonio Carlos Jobim on piano, not only yielded the hit "Girl from Ipanema"
(sung by Astrud Gilberto, the guitarist's wife, who had no professional
experience) but also "Corcovado" ("Quiet Nights...") – an instant standard,
and the definitive version of "Desafinado." Getz/Gilberto spent 96 weeks
on the charts and won four Grammies. It remains one of those rare cases
in popular music where commercial success matches artistic merit. Bossa
nova's "cool" aesthetic – with its understated rhythms, rich harmonies,
and slightly detached delivery – had been influenced, in part, by cool jazz.
Gilberto in particular was a Stan Getz fan. Getz, with his lyricism, the
bittersweet longing in his sound, and his restrained but strong swing, was
the perfect fit. His lines, at once decisive and evanescent, focus the rest
of the group's performance without overpowering.
– Fernando Gonzale
Bossa Nova Masterpiece
If you already like bossa nova (or would like to know about it) this recording
is a “must have.” It is a masterpiece, a classic, that showcases João Gilberto
and Tom Jobim – the fathers of the bossa movement – at the top of their
musical creativity. All Jobim’s compositions on this record became standards
for musicians and listeners all over the world. Furthermore, João Gilberto’s
unique way of approaching singing and guitar playing is a delightful musical
experience. This record presented the world with a new musical style. It
is a timeless piece. Enjoy it.
