Astrud Gilberto & João Gilberto & Stan Getz & Tom Jobim

Musical Group

A collaboration that brought together Brazilian bossa nova pioneers João Gilberto, Tom (Antônio Carlos) Jobim and Astrud Gilberto with American saxophonist Stan Getz, resulting in the 1964 album Getz/Gilberto.

The 1964 recording featured Stan Getz (saxophone), João Gilberto (guitar, vocals), Antônio Carlos Jobim (piano/composer), Astrud Gilberto (vocals on the record), Milton Banana (percussion) and Sebastião Neto (double bass); Vinicius de Moraes contributed lyrics; tracks discussed in reviews include 'Desafinado', 'Samba de Uma Nota Só' and 'The Girl from Ipanema'.

Reviews celebrate Getz/Gilberto (1964) as a landmark of bossa nova. Praise focuses on João Gilberto's guitar and vocal style, Stan Getz's saxophone as a counterpoint, and Tom Jobim's compositions. Astrud Gilberto's voice is noted for its timidity and sensuality. The record is framed as an iconic, dreamlike representation of 1960s Brazil.

For:Fans of bossa nova, cool jazz, and 1960s Brazilian music.

 I therefore invite you to listen to the entire album in one breath and, as in a dream, imagine yourself lying under a beach umbrella on Copacabana beach in the distant March 1964.
