Free Music Notes for Jazz 'Round Midnight: Bossa Nova
Free Music Review: Transcendental Experience
Hit: 4 Stars
There was only one Stan Getz. This disc is an excellent cross-section of the best stuff he produced during the bossa nova years. He has many bossa nova albums, but if you don't want to buy them all, then this single disk, jam-packed with music, should suffice. Be careful though: you may find yourself lying down and relaxing, your mind transported to a perfect beach in a secluded part of paradise, drink in hand, watching the graceful island girls as they samba across the sand, hips swaying, etc., etc..
I don't know if it was Getz, or Jobim, or Joao Gilberto who first got the idea to team up on this music, but they certainly knew what they were doing. This has to be the sexiest, steamiest, most languidly erotic music ever produced. The singing, and looks, of Astrid Gilberto only add fuel to the fire. It's been forty years or so since the bossa nova craze hit--let's face it--it was a fad--but the music is still potent, still provocative, still vital.
Other sax players tried to jump on the bossa bandwagon, but it was Stan, with his inimitable tone, his understated technique, who truly made it his own.
