"Getz/Gilberto", is a jazz bossa nova album released in 1964 by the American saxophonist Stan Getz and the Brazilian guitarist João Gilberto, and featuring composer and musician Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Album information

Its release created a bossa nova craze in the United States, and subsequently internationally. It brought together Stan Getz, who had already performed the genre on his LP "Jazz Samba", João Gilberto (one of the creators of the style), and Jobim, a celebrated Brazilian songwriter (and also one of the main creators of the genre), who wrote most of the songs in the album.

It became one of the best-selling jazz albums of all times, and turned singer Astrud Gilberto, who sang on the track of "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Corcovado", into an international sensation.

Reception

It won the 1965 Grammy Awards for Best Album of the Year, Best Jazz Instrumental Album - Individual or Group and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. "The Girl from Ipanema" also won the award for Best Record of the Year in 1965. This was the first time a Jazz Album received Album of the Year. Another Jazz Album didn't win until 2008 when Herbie Hancock's won the award some 43 years later.

JazzTimes (11/94, pp.88-89) - "...essential for all serious jazz collections...served as proof that it is possible for music to be both artistically and commercially successful...this relatively sparse setting with the great Getz perfectly fit the music, resulting in a true gem..."

Vibe (12/99, p.158) - Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century.
