180 Gram reissue.Classic 1964 album. One of the biggest-selling jazz albums of all time, not to mention bossa nova's finest moment, Getz/Gilberto trumped jazz samba by bringing two of bossa nova's greatest innovators - guitarist/singer João Gilberto and composer/pianist Antonio Carlos Jobim - to New York to record with Stan Getz. The results were magic. It's release helped fuel the bossa nova craze in the United States and internationally, becoming the first Grammy Award-winning album from non-American artists. It brought together Stan Getz, who had already performed the genre on his LP Jazz Samba, João Gilberto (one of the creators of the style), and Jobim, a celebrated Brazilian composer (and also one of the main creators of the genre), who wrote most of the songs in the album. It became one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time, and turned Astrud Gilberto, who sang on the tracks "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Corcovado", into an internationally celebrated musician.Tracks include:1 The Girl from Ipanema2 Doralice3 Para Machuchar Meu Coracao4 Desafinado5 Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)6 S Dano Samba7 O Grande Amor8 Vivo Sohando*LP remains unopened & slip-case is crease-free.*Non-returnable/Non-refundable if opened.Packed & Shipped with care!
