About this album

Getz / Gilberto is the landmark bossa nova crossover that brought Stan Getz and João Gilberto together on equal footing. Released in 1964, the album helped turn Brazilian bossa nova into an international phenomenon, with Getz’s fluid tenor sax and Gilberto’s hushed guitar-and-vocal style creating a new standard for cool, intimate jazz. Recorded with Jobim’s writing at its core, it includes enduring signatures such as The Girl From Ipanema and Desafinado, while Astrud Gilberto’s presence helped widen its appeal far beyond jazz circles. Its Grammy-winning success and lasting popularity made it one of the defining records of the 1960s.
