{"product_id":"getz-gilberto","title":"Getz \/ Gilberto","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest-selling jazz albums of all time, \u003cem\u003eGetz\/Gilberto\u003c\/em\u003e is also a defining bossa nova record. Building on the success of \u003cem\u003eJazz Samba\u003c\/em\u003e, it brought together two of the style’s key innovators, \u003cstrong\u003eJoão Gilberto\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Carlos Jobim\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong\u003eStan Getz\u003c\/strong\u003e in New York. The result is something truly special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time this album arrived, the jazz world had been flooded with bossa nova releases and the sound was starting to risk feeling like a passing trend. \u003cem\u003eGetz\/Gilberto\u003c\/em\u003e changed that completely, securing bossa nova’s place in jazz with a set of remarkable performances and one of the biggest hit singles the genre has ever seen, \u003cem\u003eThe Girl From Ipanema\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat song, written by \u003cstrong\u003eJobim\u003c\/strong\u003e and sung by \u003cstrong\u003eJoão Gilberto\u003c\/strong\u003e’s wife \u003cstrong\u003eAstrud Gilberto\u003c\/strong\u003e, became an instant classic. Remarkably, \u003cstrong\u003eAstrud\u003c\/strong\u003e had never performed outside her own home before these sessions. She also features on \u003cem\u003eCorcovado\u003c\/em\u003e, while the album’s tracklist is packed with \u003cstrong\u003eJobim\u003c\/strong\u003e compositions that would go on to become genre standards, including \u003cem\u003eSo Danço Samba\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eO Grande Amor\u003c\/em\u003e and a new version of \u003cem\u003eDesafinado\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s not just the songwriting that makes this album endure. The playing throughout is beautifully unforced, full of warmth, poise and understated sophistication. \u003cstrong\u003eGetz\u003c\/strong\u003e is as lyrical as ever, and \u003cstrong\u003eGilberto\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJobim\u003c\/strong\u003e bring the harmonic and rhythmic subtlety of these songs to life with a relaxed, intimate charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its dreamy romanticism and near-universal appeal, \u003cem\u003eGetz\/Gilberto\u003c\/em\u003e remains one of those rare jazz records embraced equally by devoted purists and the wider record-buying public. An essential listen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doxy","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":50525474783563,"sku":"1039962","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Gilberto_90a685c8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728033777","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/getz-gilberto","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
