Fantastic Double CD Collection of Brazilian Music featuring the Classic Songs and Stars of Bossa Nova and Samba. Includes Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Astrud Gilberto, Caetano Veloso, and Many More. With 40 Tracks at a Great Price.Customer Reviews:
Hmm. Decent double disc set.......2002-02-05
This is a double disk set from the Gold series, which specializes in featured artists and styles. That said, the sound quality in this double disk set is NOT like that of the Antonio Carlos Jobim tribute or the acoustic/Spanish guitar releases. It's better, although it still won't wow you.
The styles are everything from Bossa Nova, Samba, Tropicalismo and MPB - what is neat about this CD is that you can get a vivid sense of the many different styles of music in Brasil and how the music in Brasil sort of is like a spider web, from one sound leading into the other and etc. Featured artists are Caetano Veloso, Ivan Lins, Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim with Miucha, Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Milton Nascimento, Baden Powell, Maria Bethania, Gal Costa, Joyce, Edu Lobo and many many more.
I enjoyed this CD. It's a bit off of the beaten path and offers some of the music that probably did not reach the American shores from Brasil in the seventies and eighties when the music was still evolving. It will not blow you out of the water, but I enjoyed it. For the price, the double disk is nice.

Originally released in March 1964, this collaboration between saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist João Gilberto came at seemingly the end of the bossa nova craze Getz himself had sparked in 1962 with Jazz Samba, his release with American guitarist Charlie Byrd. Jazz Samba remains the only jazz album to reach number one in the pop charts. In fact, the story goes that Getz had to push for the release of Getz/Gilberto since the company did not want to compete with its own hit; it was a good thing he did. Getz/Gilberto, which featured composer Antonio Carlos Jobim on piano, not only yielded the hit "Girl from Ipanema" (sung by Astrud Gilberto, the guitarist's wife, who had no professional experience) but also "Corcovado" ("Quiet Night")--an instant standard, and the definitive version of "Desafinado." Getz/Gilberto spent 96 weeks in the charts and won four Grammys. It remains one of those rare cases in popular music where commercial success matches artistic merit. Bossa nova's "cool" aesthetic--with its understated rhythms, rich harmonies, and slightly detached delivery--had been influenced, in part, by cool jazz. Gilberto in particular was a Stan Getz fan. Getz, with his lyricism, the bittersweet longing in his sound, and his restrained but strong swing, was the perfect fit. His lines, at once decisive and evanescent, focus the rest of the group's performance without overpowering. A classic. --Fernando GonzalezCustomer Reviews:

Amazon.com essential recording
Guitarist Charlie Byrd was invited to travel and play in Brazil during a cultural goodwill tour sponsored by the Kennedy administration in 1961. He was completely enamoured by the music, and when he returned, he headed straight for the recording studio to make the now classic Jazz Samba. Collaborating with Stan Getz on tenor sax and backed by a band that included Gene Byrd (bass, guitar), Keter Betts (bass), and Buddy Deppenschmidt and Bill Reichenbach (drums), Byrd forged a new and brilliant sound. American record companies were to churn out hundreds of watered bossa-pop albums that have since given the style its lounge-addled image, but this album stands as a tribute to the vitality and adaptability of jazz. --Louis GibsonCustomer Reviews:
Swirling, beautiful bossa nova-jazz.......2007-07-30
Bossa nova music that dips, swings, boasts fine harmonic structures--and an infectious rhythmic pulse !!!.......2007-06-19
The CD track set opens with an extended version of "Desafinado." The guitar gets plenty of air time in bossa nova music; and Charlie Byrd's guitar solo stuns me with its beauty and sensitivity. "Desafinado" plays with a few key changes to enhance the quality of the number; and the percussion works very well, too.
"Samba Dees Days" picks up the tempo considerably; and this ought to brighten any party you play this at! Stan Getz plays tenor sax to perfection; and Buddy Deppenschmidt along with Bill Reichenbach play the drums very, very well. "Samba Triste" is the only truly mournful sounding samba on this album; the minor keys work very well as Stan's melancholy solo enhances the forlorn flavor to "Samba Triste."
"Samba De Uma Nota Só (One Note Samba)" exudes elegance and style; when you listen to this track the fusion of jazz and samba is very evident. "E Luxo Só" reverts to a faster tempo that really makes you want to get up and dance wherever you are; and "Bahia (Baía)" concludes the album with a silky elegance that is singularly beautiful.
There is one extra number. The bonus track is the 45 rpm issue of "Desafinado." Naturally, the shorter version of this number doesn't provide us with the luxurious meanderings of the full length track. Nevertheless, it interests the listener to hear what the band chose to include--and exclude--when, under time constraints, they had to deliver the number fast yet with all the brightness of the full rendition. You won't be disappointed.
The liner notes include the original liner notes by Dom Cerulli; and there are great black and white photos of the band members playing. John Litweiler contributes an informative essay about the creation of the album as well. The quality of the sound is excellent.
I highly recommend this CD for any fan of bossa nova music; and people who enjoy jazz with a samba twist will cherish this one for ages to come.
Old School.......2007-01-17
I'd give it 6 stars if I could!!!.......2006-09-16
I've worn out a few Jazz Samba LPs and now own it on CD. It's a timeless classic. It has perhaps the definitive version of "One Note Samba" on it. "Desifinado" "Bahia", "O Pato" also shine very brightly. In fact, there are no tracks on this CD that are less than superb.
Stan played a lot of different jazz styles, from Cool School to Post Bop to Bossa Nova. And although he is not from Brasil, Antonio Carlos Jobim wrote a Bossa tune honoring him because his "voice" fit the mood so perfectly. Of all the things Stan did a good job on, Bossa was perhaps his forte. And this album along with "Jazz Samba Encore" are two of his best Bossa albums ever.
I'd give it 6 stars in a 1 to 5 star rating system. It's a "desert island" disk.

Very Quaint.......2001-06-06
The music is hard to explain, but it is a very good of course (Getz, Bonfa, etc.), as if it is played romantically on an older styled record player. The sound quality is hardly to be envied. It sounds as if a tape recorder was placed against a speaker as the record played (don't laugh. That might have been how this cd was made). But that quiet sound takes you back into time, almost imagining a honeymoon on a private beach.
Nice CD. And for the price, it is very good to add to the collection.
