Getz/Gilberto
latin jazz cool jazz
Influences: Charlie Byrd, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Lester Young
Stan Getz plays tenor saxophone and João Gilberto sings and plays guitar, with Antônio Carlos Jobim on piano, creating the hushed, spare sound of bossa nova. The duo's 1963 studio recording, made in New York, produced "The Girl from Ipanema" and remains one of the best-selling jazz albums ever, selling over a million copies. Gilberto's understated, whispered vocals and rhythmic guitar set against Getz's lyrical tenor make this a rare chance to hear the originators of the bossa nova sound.
