Format:Audio CD
This is simply one of the best musical works of the sixties and years ahead. The poetry is unique, a blend of portuguese, african and american life. Deserves an huge constellation, not only five stars.

What a story, and what an album. Dragged into the studio to record her first vocals/song, Astrid, wife of the Gilberto in the title, produces one of jazz...no, music's...all time great performances. THE Bossa Nova song & album. Fantastic recording & beautiful, sensitive remastering.

I think you either have an innate love of this sort of music built in or it is something that will be totally lost on you ...if its there and you stumble across it you will never look back..
I already had 7 of the tracks on other cd's but the three i did'nt have are absolutely enchanting and worth the price on their own.
I could listen to this a thousand times and find something new in Stan Getz's incredible intonation every time.
If you hav'nt heard this stuff before,if you have an open mind,like walking on a deserted beach just where the sea meets the sand,if you love living ...you might just love this...
The best Bossa Nova there is.

perfect sound quality
A great record, no need to say that, but this SACD version has sound quality to match! Listen to it in my OPPO player and enjoy for late night listening and beyond!!

So smooth you could put it on your pancakes
Well, Getz/Gilberto and the chick from Ipanema-Ms Astrud. It is a classic of fusion before Cooder, Simon etc. Tenor/guitar and samba with sultry vocals. Read more

BEWARE, This in an SACD format CD. I can't play it. My wife bought me this, but I can't even load it onto my up-to-date computer, or a new car with brand new CD player. Read more

Why did I wait so long........
Recently got into Jazz and researched a lot of the albums I bought. Getz/Gilberto kept cropping up and I was not sure, even when I started buying Stan Getz albums. Read more
