Free Music Notes for Getz/Gilberto
Free Music Review: REMASTERING HAS FLAWS....
Hit: 3 Stars
I love this album, but when the recording studios decided to do a remastering of the original, I went out to purchase it. WHAT A DUD!!! The only songs worth listening to are "Girl from Ipanema", "So Danco Samba", and "Desafinado". LOTS OF HISS NOISES AND OTHER NASTY STUFF. Not worth the purchase for this one. I hope they decide to do another remastering.Free Music Review: A Must Have Jazz Album
Hit: 5 Stars
I must take exception to the reviewer who said that the cd had problems when played on older cd players. I have an old Sony player from about 1986, and it plays just fine on it. His other reviews also complained about the quality of other recordings, so I must wonder if the problem isn't in his stereo equipment.But back to the cd. I found the original album in a stack of old records my father had, put it on the turntable, and immediatly fell in love with it. About a week later, I was shopping for CD's in a store when the cd caught my eye. I almost jumped into the bin to grab it. This is without a doubt one of the best jazz albums ever. The music is haunting, and will get into your blood. I had thought Charlie Parker was the best jazz saxophone player, but after hearing this album, I would have to put Getz into the running right along with him. If you enjoy listening to jazz music, you will not be disappointed in this cd. Even the liner notes are well done, and have additional material along with the notes that came with the LP. The bonus tracks also add to the quality of this cd. You will get your money's worth! Not to mention the romantic effects of the music...
Free Music Review: Disarmingly (and alarmingly) cool
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes, yes, yes. This record will get you laid, Shallow Hal. And for the not so shallow among you, this will not only lay you, it will make you levitate. Why? Cause this is bossa nova, this is muito natural. So there, invest in yourself and get this album.Free Music Review: Watch Out for "Original Recording Remasterd" CD's.....
Hit: 2 Stars
How frustrating.....if you have a stereo CD player that's more than 10 years old, then don't buy this CD. While the music is great, you lose key phrasings to the low technology of the original recordings. 1/2 of vocals of the "Girl from Impanema" is but a whisper.
Great CD....but, be warned.
Free Music Review: Great for novice jazz enthusiasts
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is great for anybody who is just starting to explore jazz or for someone who has just bought a new hi-fi stereo (in my case both!). Gilberto's vocals are haunting. Play this album on the right equipment and she becomes a wonderful unexpected house guest.
