Groovy Sunday Jazz Master Albums Series: Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto
Groovy Sunday Jazz Master Albums Series. "Getz/Gilberto" (featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim) Album Performed Live
Getz/Gilberto (1964) marks the moment bossa nova moved from Brazil into the centre of international jazz. By bringing Stan Getz together with João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim, it introduced a new rhythmic feel and a quieter, more spacious approach to improvisation at a time when jazz was generally louder and more aggressive. “The Girl from Ipanema” became a global hit, but the album’s importance is bigger than the single: it changed how jazz musicians thought about time, texture, and restraint, and it opened the door for a long period of cross-Brazilian collaborations in the jazz world.
