Our Take

The sultry sounds of the saxophone meet the smooth vibes of bossa nova in the iconic collaboration between Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto on their album "Getz/Gilberto." If music could seduce you, this album would be Casanova himself whispering sweet nothings in your ear.

From the moment the first notes of "The Girl from Ipanema" float through the air, you know you're in for a treat. Getz's effortlessly cool saxophone blends perfectly with Gilberto's silky vocals, creating a musical marriage made in heaven.

Tracks like "Corcovado" and "Desafinado" transport you to the sun-drenched beaches of Brazil, where the only worry is how to properly pronounce "caipirinha." The addition of Antonio Carlos Jobim on piano adds an extra layer of sophistication to an album already dripping with class.

But don't be fooled by the laid-back vibes, there's a depth to this album that reveals itself with each listen. The interplay between Getz and Gilberto is a masterclass in musical chemistry, each one feeding off the other's energy to create something truly magical.

So grab a caipirinha, sit back, and let the music of Getz and Gilberto wash over you like a gentle wave. This album is a timeless classic that will have you coming back for more, time and time again. Get ready to fall in love with "Getz/Gilberto" all over again. 10/10.

About the artist

Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto

Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto are like a match made in bossa nova heaven. Getz, the smooth saxophonist known for his velvety tone and effortless charm, and Gilberto, the Brazilian guitarist and singer who helped popularize the bossa nova movement, came together in 1963 to create one of the most iconic jazz albums of all time, "Getz/Gilberto." Getz, hailing from Philadelphia, was already a jazz legend by the time he joined forces with Gilberto. His lyrical playing and impeccable sense of melody made him a favorite among audiences and critics alike. With his laid-back style and infectious groove, Getz's saxophone seemed to dance effortlessly alongside Gilberto's rhythmic guitar playing. Gilberto, on the other hand, brought a unique blend of samba and jazz to the table. His soothing vocals and intricate guitar work added a layer of warmth and authenticity to the duo's sound. Together, Getz and Gilberto created a perfect fusion of American jazz and Brazilian bossa nova, resulting in a sound that was both sophisticated and irresistibly catchy. "Getz/Gilberto" quickly became a sensation, earning critical acclaim and commercial success. The album's standout track, "The Girl from Ipanema," featuring Gilberto's wife Astrud on vocals, became an international hit and solidified the duo's place in music history. While Getz and Gilberto would go on to pursue their own solo careers, their collaboration on "Getz/Gilberto" remains a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate listeners to this day. With its lush, romantic sound and infectious grooves, it's no wonder that Getz and Gilberto are regarded as two of the greatest musicians in the history of jazz.
