JOAO GILBERTO
S/T
POLYDOR
ORIGINAL 1973 BRAZIL LP

Joao Gilberto "Joao Gilberto" (Polydor Brasil, 1973) 
Joao's "white album" -- a hauntingly sparse, beautiful, and quite ethereal recording. Upon sober reflection (and countless hours spent listening to it), I think I can quite comfortably say that I think this is the single greatest bossa nova album ever recorded. Gilberto is gentle and graceful beyond the reach of practically any other musician alive, and this record is a masterpiece. It includes revamped acoustic takes on several bossa nova and pre-bossa oldies, along with newer material such as his lullaby for his daughter, Bebel, and one song each by the upstart tropicalistas, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. Gilberto sings barely at a whisper, while his percussionist is the absolute model of restraint and economy. Alongside his debut albums of the 1950s, this may be the best work Gilberto ever did -- and that's saying a lot! HIGHLY recommended! (WWW.SLIPCUE.COM)
