Stan Getz & João Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto

Limited vinyl LP pressing of this classic 1964 album. 'Getz/Gilberto' stands as one of the most commercially successful jazz albums ever, while also serving as a definitive moment for bossa nova. By bringing together guitarist/singer João Gilberto, composer/pianist Antonio Carlos Jobim, and the renowned saxophonist Stan Getz, the album exceeded the achievements of its predecessor, jazz samba. The resulting collaboration was pure magic. Its release ignited the bossa nova craze, not only in the United States but also internationally, and notably became the first GRAMMY Award-winning album by non-American artists. With Jobim's masterful compositions, and the mesmerizing vocals of Astrud Gilberto on tracks like "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Corcovado," Getz/Gilberto not only became a best-selling jazz record but also propelled Astrud Gilberto to worldwide acclaim.
