RECORDED IN 1963 AT A&R RECORDING STUDIOS IN NEW YORK AND RELEASED BY VERVE RECORDS THE NEXT YEAR, IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST SELLING JAZZ LP'S OF ALL TIME WINNING SEVERAL AWARDS INCLUDING THE PRESTIGIOUS GRAMMY AWARD FOR BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR IN 1965, THE VERY FIRST TIME A JAZZ RECORD AND SOMETHING THAT WOULD TAKE ANOTHER 43 YEARS TO BE REPEATED BY HERBIE HANCOK AND HIS ALBUM "RIVER". ALSO WORTHY OF NOTE IT WAS AWARDED THE GRAMMY FOR BEST ENGINEERED ALBUM (NON-CLASSICAL) WHICH IS TELLING OF THE CARE TAKEN DURING THE ORIGINAL MASTERING SESSION."
THE MUSIC NEEDS LITTLE OR NO INTRODUCTION, THESE TUNES AND MELODIES HAVE BEEN PART OF OUR COLLECTIVE IMAGINARY FOR DECADES NOW, IT'S A TRUE CLASSIC ALBUM FILLED WITH HUGE NAMES FROM JAZZ AND FROM THE BOSSA NOVA MOVEMENT IN BRAZIL FEATURING STAN "THE SOUND" GETZ ON TENOR SAXOPHONE, JOAO GILBERTO ON VOICE AND GUITAR (ONE OF THE FOUNDERS AND BEST KNOWN VOICES OF BOSSA NOVA) AND ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM ON PIANO (COMPOSER OF MOST TRACKS IN THE ALBUM AND ALSO A MAJOR FOUNDER OF BOSSA NOVA). ALONG WITH THESE BIG NAMES THE ALBUM ALSO FEATURES MILTON BANANA ON DRUMS (HIS ROLE IN BOSSA NOVA AND HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THIS ALBUM ARE VERY IMPORTANT), SEBASTIAO NETO ON BASS AND SOMEWHAT UNEXPECTEDLY THE VOICE OF ASTRUD GILBERTO WHO JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN THE STUDIO WITH HER HUSBAND JOAO GILBERTO WHO SUGGESTED TO THE PRODUCTION TEAM, OUT OF THE BLUE, THAT SHE SHOULD SING ON SOME OF THE BEST SONGS THUS FOREVER MAKING ASTRUD'S SWEET VOICE KNOWN TO THE WORLD WHICH RESULTED IN THE START OF HER OWN INTERNATIONAL CAREER."
"SO, HOW DOES THIS NEW REISSUE SOUND? WELL TO BEGIN WITH IT'S ALWAYS IMMENSELY SATISFYING TO LISTEN TO THIS LP EVEN AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF REPEATED LISTENING THERE IS NO TIRING OF THIS WONDERFUL MUSIC, QUITE THE OPPOSITE EACH AND EVERY TIME I PLAY GETZ/GILBERTO IT SETS ME ON TO ANOTHER VOYAGE OF REDISCOVERY AND AURAL PLEASURE. IT NEVER SOUNDED BETTER THAN ON THIS REISSUE WHERE THE SAXOPHONE AND VOICES SOUND EVEN MORE REAL AND PALPABLE THAN BEFORE AND THE BALANCED, TASTEFUL AND FAITHFUL EQUALIZATION OPTIONS MAKE IT THE CLEANEST SOUNDING VERSION YOU'VE EVER HEARD."
"THIS ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS REISSUE CUT BY GEORGE MARINO AT STERLING SOUND STUDIOS IS, IN MY OPINION AND WITH LITTLE ROOM FOR DOUBT, THE BEST RELEASE OF THIS ALBUM EVER MADE, THIS IS PURE CLASSIC BOSSA NOVA JAZZ ON THE ULTIMATE REISSUE LP, A MUST HAVE FOR ANY VINYL COLLECTOR AND MUSIC LOVER."
