Free Music Notes for Getz/Gilberto
Free Music Review: Must have jazz title, but dated
Hit: 3 Stars
You can't be a serious jazz fan and not own this album. That's for sure. I bought it expecting more, but it took me back to listening to my parents' records on the dining room floor in front of the console stereo. The sound and style are very dated, which is not necessarily a bad thing. And sure, I was young and carefree in the 60's, but I won't be playing this album much except when I need to practice some "Ipanema" licks before a gig. That is to say, as good as it is, and even though it is a cornerstone of Latin jazz, I won't listen to it very often, at all. Free Music Review: light the candles, music to eat by
Hit: 5 Stars
Simply the best Latin music on the planet. No dinner party should be without this one. Romance relaxation and rejuvenation, you can feel your blood pressure coming down while you're listening.
Saxophone at its sexiest.
Free Music Review: Gerz/Gilberto
Hit: 5 Stars
I listened to this music back when it was first played and it was great. I purchased this CD as a gift for someone who is a fan of "Girl From Ipanema." However, I liked it so much I kept the CD.
It was first nostalgic but after listening to all of the CD it is classic Brazilian Music interpreted by one of the best American Saxophonist of his time and a wonderful voice. It is great having both renditions Portuguese and the 45rpm. GREAT ALBUM!!!
Free Music Review: Cool all around relaxing CD
Hit: 5 Stars
I read a review for this CD in one of my women's magazines as a good jazz blues cd that would be something you could throw in your cd player and play through during a dinner party or martini party. My husband and I love it. I was a bit skeptical when I saw how long it has been around, but we keep ours in our disc changer and play it often!Free Music Review: The bonus tracks are NOT the original 45 rpm singles
Hit: 4 Stars
Need not to say this is a classic, the 8 songs from the original album are all worth more than 5 stars, but the bonus tracks "The girl from Ipanema" and "Corcovado" are not the ORIGINAL version of the 45 rpm singles, a regret to all the consumers. You can watch the original 45 rpm version of "The girl from Ipanema" on 'YouTube', the MTV showing Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz performing the song before some female audience, Astrud was sitting among the audience when she started singing. The opening of the song is an intro of vibraphone (which was seen in the MTV and was a major instrument in the song), not the humming by Joao Gilberto. Besides, I believe the single version of Corcovado (Quiet Nights) is the version available in "Getz Au Go Go" (please noted that even though "Getz Au Go Go" is listed as a live recording, in fact it is a studio recording with overdubbed applause as revealed by the producer Phil Schaap). Furthermore, this REMASTERED version has the left and right channel reversed as compared with the earlier version of this CD(without the bonus tracks) released in the 80's. If Verve couldn't locate the 45 rpm originals from its vault, that's fine, but it should do more research work than to give us incorrect information and created edited versions of the songs to fool us, which is very dishonest.
