Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto - Getz-Gilberto (1963) [2023 SACD]

One of the world's most famous and sunny hits of jazz and bossa nova made this album a classic: the beautiful "The Girl From Ipanema". Penned by Antônio Carlos Jobim, this collaboration with saxophonist Stan Getz, guitarist/vocalist Joãos Gilberto and the vocals of the latter's wife Astrud Gilberto made this track the gold standard and established bossa nova in the jazz universe. Other tracks from the album, which is one of the best-selling jazz recordings of all time, have also established themselves as standards, such as "Corcovado," "So Danço Samba" and "O Grande Amor." A deeply relaxed and atmospheric basic for any collection.
