Sax Max - By: DrSax, 02 Jun 2006 
Bossa Nova was & is not to everybody's taste. Many jazz aficianados can't stand Astrud Gilberto's singing either. The thing with this sessionin particular, however, is Stan Getz's playing. There is only one word for it - divine! Which is why I suspect there are so many accolades for this CD. The brevity & melodiousness of his ideas is quite exceptional, not so on many other examples of his work before or after.
I love jazz & I like this, but I can't say I can listen to Bossa Nova all the time. Stan Getz on this CD, however, I don't think I'll tire of...
Getting in the groove - By: , 31 Dec 2005 
Great album for bossa nova. Fun to listen & getin the groove of dreaming of Brazil.. or mellow enough to havein the background for a wine party.
Getz/Gilberto - By: M J BRADSHAW, 06 May 2004 I think you either have an innate love of this sort of music builtin or it is something that will be totally lost on you ...if its there & you stumble across it you will never look back..
I already had 7 of the tracks on other cd's but the three i did'nt have are absolutely enchanting & worth the price on their own.
I could listen to this a thousand times & find something newin Stan Getz's incredible intonation every time.
If you hav'nt heard this stuff before,if you have an open mind,like walking on a deserted beach just where the sea meets the sand,if you love living ...you might just love this...
The best Bossa Nova there is.

Pure Cool - By: Mr. C. Garfield, 26 Feb 2004 I've been listening to jazz for about 5 years now & wanting to broaden my taste i thought this would be a good direction to go. And what a direction to go!! The album has the ever popular Girl From Ipanema but the more i listen to it, the more i fallin love with the beauty of the other songs. Stan Getz ability is beyond words, as goes for Jobim on the guitar. The voices of Joau & Astrud Gilberto round the album off superbly causing you to hum & sing with them. This album has shown me there is more to bossa nova than i thought. So buy it, & then sit back, close your eyes & think of Brazil!!!
splended recommended! - By: dreamkev888, 12 Apr 2003 Well have to say this album to me is not just a great album, but an album that has changed my life towards jazz music. It is this album that i am nowin love with Jazz music.Well this album is very nicely balanced, with a rich voice from Gilberto, then Getz sax comes blendsin as the iceing on the cake which its great!!! especially track 3! so what are you waiting for, add it to your basket & checkout, you wont want a refund!!
