Free Music Notes for Getz/Gilberto
Free Music Review: Fabulous Remastered Reproduction
Hit: 5 Stars
The CD is like listening to the record - which I purchased in 1963 when it was first issued and still have in mint condition! Excellent. It is important for any Bossa Nova collector to have this CD - it was the first we ever heard "The Girl from Ipenema." It was awesome to our young virgin ears in those days. Getz/Gilberto combo showed the masses what enjoyment there was in this type of music. Buy this and never let it go!!Free Music Review: Unforgettable

This is creamy, melt in your mouth music from the pulsating origins of the Brazilian Bossa Nova. The irony at the time is that tenorman Getz was accused of `selling his soul' when Desafinado came out, and got a lot of heat from some of his "fans" when it became a big hit. Said Getz: "I remember being assailed by the wife of a famous trombonist after receiving eight Grammies for a record that I thought was just beautiful. She screamed, 'you turncoat, you went commercial.' I thought the Bossa Nova music was just beautiful music."
Call it destiny in motion, because the blend of Getz and the voice of Gilberto was made in heaven for his lyrical sound and his improvisational genius. No one could play these types of subtle but complex chord changes like Getz - the kind of sounds I feel he was born to play and is very difficult to do well.
A friend of mine happened to play this album for me a few days ago and we were stunned into silence by its enduring lyricism and subtle gentility, not to mention its beauty of soul combined with the poetry of the sensuous Portuguese language... sigh... I get shudders... And maybe I'm too far gone on this recording, but this kind of music seems to portray the innocent, positive romanticism that's possible between man and woman... the sand and the sea... and keeps one young in spirit...
Free Music Review: Wonderful Upbeat Music
Hit: 5 Stars
I never get tired of playing this. The selections are great and even though I live alone I have to dance to some of it!! Just the best. Free Music Review: Extremely relaxed
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the beginning of bossa nova in jazz. Historically an important monument, this is a must-have for your collection. The music is ideal background music, with the laidback Brazilian rhythms, the relaxed singing of Astrud Gilberto and the sweet playing of Stan Getz.Free Music Review: It was good then...it's STILL good now!
Hit: 5 Stars
I first listened to this "album" in the late 60's. I loved the easy-going melodies, and found myself humming the tunes to myself.
It's nearly 40 years later, and I'm STILL humming the tunes to myself. This music is light, happy and fun. Your heart will be glad and your toe wiggling to the beat, will be happy too!
I recommend this "CD" to anyone who enjoyed this EXCELLENT music long ago...you will love it just as much now as you did then...and now, it will make you smile.
