Getz/Gilberto

One bossa nova song is baller and powerful. Eight to ten is a bit dry. Truly the disco of jazz if you know what I'm saying Highlights: "The Girl from Ipanema", "Para Machuchar Meu Coracao", "O Grande Amor"

Ну норм

I actually liked it. 3.45-ish.

This is fun. A bit boring and not really my style of jazz, but nice.

The Girl from Ipanema was one of the first 'songs for adults' that I remember being enchanted by as a child. Then I heard it in Park Guell, during my first visit to Barcelona and it was pure m

Very good, saved

Pleasant, but not much beyond that. ★★★

This is very good. "The Girl From Ipanema" is a classic, a song that makes you travel. Overall, this is in the range of 4 stars. Other songs I enjoyed: "Para Machuchar Meu Coraçao", "Desafinado" or "O Grande Amor".

Pretty chill. Fav track is obviously the original “The girl from Ipanema”, such an influential piece. “Corcovado” is also peak.

Chill vibes, probably wouldn't go back to it but nice easy listening.

love this album. perfect for the pool, a quiet night, for conversation.

Completamente atemporal

Smety ale dobra jakość

4/5. Very good bit of Bossa Nova. the highlight for me is the production, the whole record sounds like you’re in a small cafe listening to these songs live, giving it a very intimate and easygoing feel. Plus Getz’s tenor sax playing pairs extremely well with Gilberto’s gentle guitar. The biggest highlight for me is the album opener (and its biggest hit) “The Girl from Ipanema” which features two singers trading verses around and some great, but gentle solos.

Jazzy and fun, good forbwork

Depending on your mood this is either a sexy romantic soft groove, or nap time music.

bliss

This is #day678 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… much like the previous Stan Getz record, which I got almost exactly a year ago, I find this thoroughly enjoyable. Just what the doctor prescribed on this June evening through my Technics SU-7300. "The Girl from Ipanema" has to be the perfect cocktail jazz tune. Breezy as a summer wind. This is a 4 out of 5. Looking forward to #day679.

Ничего такая боса-нова и джазец на фон. Вообще многие воспринимают это слово "на фон" как что-то оскорбительное, как некий ТЦ'шный muzak без своей идентичности и исключительно коммерческий. Но вы послушайте эту музыку. Она пышет индвидуализмом, но да, при всем при этом, это очень легкая, спокойная музыка с расслабляющими ритмами. Под которую приятно пить кофе, отдыхать, лежать на диване, она совершенно необязательно создана для активного слушания и это прекрасно. Такая музыка тоже должна быть, а уж и тем более, когда в ней есть и красота и мастерство.

I liked the jazz-like sound, though it's not something I'd normally listen to. Portuguese is a nice language and it was really interesting to listen to it in music.

Smooth.

Not my thing.

muy bueno mal clasiqu8dimo nashe

So mellow I nearly lapsed into incontinence.

Really great jazzy saxophone with soft piano, guitar and vocals to create a perfect atmosphere. It's very enjoyable from start to finish including the songs I'd heard and not heard before. The kind of music I want around me for many slow afternoons to reflect on or let drift into the back of my head.

Bossa nova starter pack. Kohustuslik kuulamine tüüpidele, kes natukenegi tahavad mängida seda žanrit. Väga libe kuulamine ja sellist albumit tahaks tegelikult vinüülile ka, Getzi muusika täielikult sobib sellesse esteetikasse. 4.0/5

10/10 bossa nova classics, must listen for jazz enthusiasts

Musica brasileña de jazz, me gusta pero es demasiado monotona en cuanto a sonido para mi

Skipped

Actually a pretty good listen, jazzy, fun and light

I love bossa nova, just wish stan getz wasnt the representative for bossa nova

Muy linda la voz, es espectacular para estudiar mientras suena, super lindo album

What a loving album. What a self loving sound. I showered, danced, moisturized. I smell of roses. —— Poem —— Getz/Gilberto Stan Getz+João Gilberto Cashmere spills drips into the drink which glassmouth I rim with my fingers skim Pelvises twist to the trough and crest of moon wave wisp among clefs and sheets Rose water puddles upon the stream mirror the self as I crawl in his bed

simplemente una voz , un par de instrumentos y una magia especial

Played a morning round of Boggle whilst listening to this and it soundtracked perfectly.

A couple of nice songs and a lot of background music

#970. This is spy movie music, and I will not be explaining myself further. 4/5: I said I would not be explaining myself further. Good day, sir.

An enjoyable album created by some of the best musicians of the time period.

Very mild and enjoyable

to the guy who said "Me and my girlfriend did interesting things in the back of my car to this" it's MY GIRLFRIEND AND I dumbass

This is such a timeless and charming album. A friend introduced me to the record as a whole over 20 years ago (was only familiar with Girl From Ipanema prior) and it was love at first listen. This is still in regular rotation on the turntable

Un hermoso disco de Bossa Nova y Jazz que en verdad relaja y ayuda a sentirse mejor. Sin lugar a dudas, una de sus obras más famosas es "The Girl of Ipanema" que tiene esos ritmos típicos del Bossa Nova y esa acústica y percusión que han posicionado al género dentro de uno de los más reconocidos y entrañables. En particular, aprecio mucho la valiosa fusión y el eclecticismo de este disco que se convierte en uno de mis favoritos para escuchar una noche de relajación y desconexión por unos minutos de los problemas.

No comment

It is lovely background music in a store, a restaurant, a waiting room or even in an elevator.

This would go crazy in the elevator of my office building and at the noname cafe on its first floor. The Girl from Ipanema had somehow reached me through memes. I was surprised this is how old it is.

quite literally a short indie romance film in spain or brazil loved the first song

haven't finished it yet (i keep getting busy inbetween listening sessions) BUT i do love this kind of jazz, i've only ever heard something close to this when listening to easy lovers by piero, would definitely get into more when i have time

So smooth

I liked this. I found it to be very relaxing.

E VAI TER BRASIL SIM 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Let's get lounge-y!

Soooo good! I love this. It's got such lightness and all of the artists made such tasteful choices in their delivery of the music. The saxophone is a highlight for me. And the album art is cool.

Busy few weeks on my end. So this was nice to return to my routine and chill in the morning while drinking coffee. Great coffee shop vibe music.

I really enjoyed this album. I also immediately recognized the first track!

Really nice, was familiar with this one from the good ole youtube algorithm. Was pulled in with the beautiful album art (wish more albums used this sort of art for the cover...) Cocktail, Java music if you ask me. A little too one note to be anything more than that. But again, really nice, perfectly pleasant. Also how do you say this guys last name, its it Getz, Jetz, Hetz?!? My guess is on Jetz.... I guess I could google it, but whatever... maybe I'll do it later.

Bossa Nova is one of those genres that does next to nothing for me, but this one definitely one of the better ones. Would I listen to this again? Probably not, but I wouldn't turn it off if it came on again. A very chill album, but a lot of the songs sound the same. Low 4.

Soothing listen, girl from impenada is a great song, rest of the album was in Spanish which is harder to listen to with intent

No song that I disliked, a few standouts: Ipanema (obviously), Para Muchachar, and Corcavado

This album is so smooth and famous that people sometimes mistake it for mere background elegance. That is lazy listening. The greatness here is not surface prettiness. It is control. Nothing is pushed too hard. Nothing begs. João’s guitar and voice are so quiet they almost seem casual, Getz’s saxophone glides instead of dominating, Jobim supplies harmonic intelligence without clutter, and Astrud’s untrained, nearly weightless singing on “The Girl from Ipanema” and “Corcovado” gives the record its ghostly softness.

10/10

Very soothing, and very easy to get into

Very nice album Vai vai vai

4 out of 5. Damn this was one smooth album.

The girl from ipanema and corcovado are the only ones i liked but the overall vibe of the album is just amazing

music is love

Nice saz and smooth but not an album for me

Getz/Gilberto es una obra de arte atemporal y una de las cumbres más sofisticadas de la música del siglo XX que ha envejecido bien, manteniendo intacta su frescura y su elegancia minimalista. El álbum es una cátedra de sutil virtuosismo acústico donde se entreteje todo muy bien: el piano contenido de Jobim, la guitarra rítmica y flotante de João Gilberto y el fraseo cálido del saxofón de Stan Getz. Dentro de este repertorio perfecto, "The Girl from Ipanema" destaca como una de mis favoritas, mientras que "Corcovado" resulta también deliciosa, configurando los pilares de un viaje sonoro inolvidable. La genialidad de esta fusión entre el jazz cool y la bossa nova radica en su capacidad para habitar una dualidad emocional exquisita, envolviendo al oyente en una constante sensación de paz melancólica. Desprovisto de artificios, el álbum destila una autenticidad y autoridad superior que emana de la discreción, el susurro cercano al micrófono y la perfecta economía de recursos. Nos encontramos ante una obra maestra de una plasticidad y calidez tan nobles que resulta ideal para múltiples usos: el trabajo creativo, un manejo relajado, caminar, servir de fondo para platicar o la intimidad, la reflexión solitaria y leer.

Thank God for jazz Some nice jazz It's kind of funny at moments and I haven't figured out if it's on purpose Will listen again sometime A solid 3,5/5

fav song - corcovado least fav song - só danço samba loved the vibe of this album, even though every song is so similar to each other. very calming

This hit

Probably the most essential and important Bossa Nova album of all time. Unfortunately, the sheer number of Bossa Nova albums we've already covered in this project has made it so I couldn't tell the difference.

i really liked it, feels soo relaxing and fresh. i feel like a fake brazillian for not having listened to it before. esse album me faz sentir como se eu estivesse em uma praia em uma noite quente, incrivel como musicas assim te acalmam.

Just not my taste

I love the girl from ipanema already - delightful. Music that makes me wish I could dance. Music for lying back on grass, watching blossom flap limply in a warm breeze. Feel like I’m drinking red wine in a restaurant On The Continent that’s about to close, or aboard a Gondola. The romance of it all! This is utterly charming, fun, beautiful, delicate without being feeble. I love a bit of sax and they have not been stingy with it. I like it when an artist wants the listener to have a good time.

I'm not into bossa nova but this album is fire !!

Easy listening, very relaxing, couple of classics on here. Good listen.

Interesting álbum

A great jazz album for relaxing.

Exactly the kind of album you expect when someone says "hey you should listen to this brazilian music".

Sounded really good and helped me focus on the work I was doing. It made me feel very calm and blocked out distractions. I could see myself going back to this if I need help relaxing or working on things.

That was really pleasant to listen to. I'd listen again.

acredito eu que seria obrigatório toda e qualquer música ter metais no instumental, o getz conseguiu aprimorar essas masterpieces da música brasileira, perfeito.

The Girl From Impenada is iconic and I love the copious amount of sax in this album so I’m inclined to give this one a pretty good rating

Fullkomin tónlist og fullkomin plata. Ekki sú eina rétta, en ein af þeim réttu. Njótið.

This is the 2nd Stan Getz album I have had on this list, and to be honest it has me questioning why the first album was included when this seems so much better to me. While the other Bossa Nova albums i've heard so far tend to fade into nothing music, this one has enough of a hook to keep me interested. The vocals are great, the brass is enjoyable, a big improvement but probably not something I would actively listen to.

Money is tight right now. I had to cull through my record collection and find the things I don't mind parting with. It was hard sometimes, but I came out with about 70, and I've spent the evening listing them all on Discogs. While doing this, I was listening to Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots...until this album was generated for me. And wow, this is just lovely. It's pretty samey, a few of the songs sound pretty similar, but we're lucky that the vibe across the whole album is so beautiful. It's sweet, it's just so damn adorable and charming. I want to meet The Girl From Ipanema. It made me feel a lot better while combing through my record collection.

Oh yeah. Definitely familiar with Girl from Impanena, great tune. The rest of this was also excellently chill. Drop the needle on this and sip something crisp and bubbly in the sunshine. Hell yeah.

Friday. May 29, 2026 Legendary album. Every song hits the right vibe.

"The Girl From Ipanema" is an all-time classic for a reason, but like other reviewers have commented this one is nice for background music but blends into that background a little too easily. it just doesn't hold my attention enough for active listening; tracks melted into each other and not in a positive way, started feeling like one big way-too-long song around #3 (and i'm very pro-longsong if done well). objectively a great jazzy bossa nova record, subjectively not my cup of tea. i was already waiting for it to be over about halfway through.

Beautiful, jazzy, and such chill vibes. The singing is also soft and sweet, but I don't know the language.

…pleasant! Perhaps warrants another listen or two.

Laid back music made for the setting sun.

João Gilberto's voice is amazing and his interpretation of some of Tom Jobim's best and most famous compositions is great. I'm not as stoked as the world seemed to be at the time with Astrud Gilberto's parts but it might be my bias as a native portuguese speaker to just prefer the original. The mastering is a bit strange, the sax can get really in your face all of a sudden, especially compared to the airy singing of the Gilberto's and the gentle guitar chords. Not the last time listening to this classic!

an absolute person favorite - perfect for warm weekend mornings

wow

cool tipo jazz portugués?brasilero? De fondo diver

Nice and flowy. The kind of album that I won't go back to frequently but when a song from it comes on it's the proverbial breath of fresh air.

Perfectly pleasant bossa nova/jazz. I enjoyed the vocals, particularly for practising Brazilian Portuguese listening! The sort of thing that’s fine in the background but I’d never choose to put on again.

Perfect for summer nights, love the vibe

Good vibes

Jazz, i loved the female vocals

Its quite a soothing lounge music type of jazz album. In fact, I accidentally had one song playing on repeat several times without noticing.

Instrumentalmente es alucinante escuchar la fusión de cada instrumento. Los ritmos, las voces, hay una sensualidad en ellas. Un disco para poner de fondo en esos momentos que uno se siente mágico.

una fusión de jazz y samba .suave y con elegancia y swing.imagino una playa en río una calle llena de color .una puerta entre abierta y dentro bajando las escaleras entre el humo del cigarro unos músicos de jazz de un club de nueva York.Garota de ipanema es para la música popular brasilera lo que pele al fútbol.

No soy muy fan de la música brasileña pero creo que es un álbum histórico de la música de por ahí. Me gusta mucho como suena el saxo y el piano en las pausas, tiene algo muy místico. Sin dudas es esa música que queres escuchar para bajar la ansiedad y ponerte a limpiar la casa o hacer algo donde esté de fondo. Le da el toque que esté Stan Getz que es gran exponente de Jazz combinando algo de cultura yanquee y brasileña de mucha historia. Top 3 🌟 1- The Girl from Impanema 2- Doralice 3- Corcovado (la intro es especial, sólida)

I fuck with it

★★½

super darr

At worst, this is the best background music album ever made. At best, this one of the best bossa nova albums ever made. I like bossa nova. 4.5/5

Essential easy listening! My 6 year old said "this sounds like love music"... indeed!

god I REALLY need a cigarette (skinny) ONE THING ABOUT ME IS I LUUURVE BOSSA NOVA Zzzzzzzz this album makes me want to take a midafternoon nap on a sunny terrace NO FAV SONG BC IT WOULD BE LIKE CHOOSING A FAV SUN RAY IN A FLOWERY FIELD

jazz saxxxxxxxx

this album sounds like when you get a hot black milk tea with brown sugar on a day that starts rainy but then the sun comes out and all the plants look extra green and lush and life feels worth living favourite song: Para Machuchar Meu Coracao into Desafinado into Corcovado = heaven

This was an album that I would have definitely regretted not listening to. It feels like a summer day with gentle breeze on a Sunday morning.

01) The Girl from Ipanema - 10,0 02) Doralice - 8,0 03) Para Machucar Meu Coração - 8,0 04) Desafinado - 10,0 05) Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars) - 9,0 06) Só Danço Samba - 8,0 07) O Grande Amor - 7,5 08) Vivo Sonhando - 7,5 TOTAL: 8,50 (85/100) Current ranking: 154/920

Been awhile since I gave an album a 5. I had no expectations going into this one but there's just something about Bossa Nova that takes you to a certain time and place; for me it's an unmistakable feeling of warmth, palm trees, vinyl, a glass of wine, and a doob. If that's what I picture when this album plays, how can it not be a 5?!

A classic bossa nova album from two of the best to ever do it. No notes or complaints

bossa nova

I literally don't know how to rate it. Sometimes you feel that it's a bit lacklustre, but then a certain groove hits and you just melt into the music. Definitely not a "day" album, it's best to listen in the evening after a hot summer's day or (even better), deep into winter when you need that boost to get through short and gloomy days.

Everything is perfect about this album down to the cover art. There’s not one misstep in my opinion. The only gripe I would have is that it’s criminally short. I want more; I could’ve easily accepted this album at twice its length without batting an eye. It’s pure perfection. The lyrics, rhythms, and vocals blend so well, creating a warm, sensual sound that feels like an afternoon spent in deep languor. It is my comfort album.

Pleasantly surprised. Not something I would listen to through choice but I didn't mind it at all. And the first track "The Girl from Ipanema" is a song I didn’t' know I already knew, now I know where it comes from.

I wish I could understand the lyrics. What I liked the most was the vibe I think. Its so chill, its so relaxing and peacefull. Yet, it was never boring for me. Why does it has to be so short 😭 Probably the best album Ive discovered from this book. So far.

Man this is a smooth album. Super chill and relaxing. Like you put this on at fancy dinner party smooth. It's really good. Reminds me of a bookstore I used to shop at. It really is a lovely album.

Would put on at a BBQ

Well executed but this still can’t be more than background music for me. High 3.

Smooth and silky Brazilian jazz perfect for a cocktail party or lounge.

Blessing elevators in film and real life like since this came out, this album sets a vibe. It's not music I'd ever really listen to, but it is relaxing and and gentle to star the day will or listen to at the beach, pool, or over a cocktail.

Great chill vibe, loved the sax tone

Love the 3-day run of Springsteen-Fela Kuti-this. Really living up the saxophone! This is probably my favorite in that regard. I absolutely all the space the sax is given to be light and airy. The dynamics of it really show how great the range of timbres is. Love some Bossa Nova and almost never listen to it. This is gonna be on repeat quite a bit.

Adam hucky (funky butt brass) demanded we all learn girl from ipanema on what instrument we could at SWIC. I do not remember how to play it. Bombay club in nola flashblacks. Piano player and woman singing in a black dress.

Its OK

Some sexy sax but I kinda tuned out after a while and it turned into elevator music. I appreciate it, but not my jam

Girl From Ipanema is a goddamn classic, but the rest of the album was just pretty solid. Nothing blew my socks off, but still an enjoyable listen. Would probably jump to a 5/5 on the beach with a beer in one hand and a joint in the other.

The entire album slaps, but I enjoyed particularly Gilberto's voice and the sax in The Girl From Impanema and Corcovado. Never really listened to this genre, but damn if it isn't a vibe. Tingles on the scalp and in my ribs.

4.5/5. Very enjoyable especially when you’re driving and want to vibe out instead of thinking of the horrors of the world.

4/10 Smooth, comforting, nice wide sound stage and soft vocals. There's nothing bad in here and the production really makes you feel like you're in a jazz bar. The downside is that this record isn't really adventurous in any way. It just simmers away in a comfortable space without experimenting. I enjoy the retained imperfections which further adds to the live and atmospheric feel, but there's just not a lot of substance so I can't rate this highly. Best track: The Girl From Ipanema Will I revisit?: No

Волшебная боса нова🥰

Awesomeness

i listened to the extended version. 10/10 very beautiful.

Wonderful bossa nova album. Fun to listen to during a pool party or quiet brunch. Great vocals, wonderful instrumentals, and solid composition bring this album together. I will acknowledge that the songs often blended together, but I didn’t really mind it.

The Girl from Ipanema is amazing. Period.

Of course it's another samba album for my last one. This album can fuck all the way off. So much dross and repetitive sounding albums. I could swear that I've had this very same album at least 3 times already (I've just seen this has songs that were on his other albums). It's as if this short lived US dalliance with Samba still has a huge influence on the culture - it's like thinking their obsession with all things Aussie in the 80's makes it so we need to watch all the Yahoo Serious movies. You don't need this and you don't need this on the list. Best Tracks: The Girl From Ipanema; Desafinado; Vivo Sonhando

A very pleasant album to chill out to, the only complaint is that the songs are repetitive.

Swishy mellow jazz with fado style crooning. A laid back lazy Sunday morning sound, it feels flighty and wistful, but listless and melodically aimless.

Chill.

Perfection from start to finish

Nice, I wasn't expecting a bossa nova album. Very tiki, I should try and find a vinyl for this one.

Felt really good to listen to, though not particularly special. Not many other notes I can make here honestly.

Very cool jazz sound

nieuwe liedjes voor de latin american jazz playlist????

achtergrondmuziek fr

Take your 4 and go

I think that this album would be nice as background music while I’m doing something else, but it didn’t move the needle for me otherwise.

THIS IS MY FAV SO FAR OMG!

Amazing. A classic of Brazilian music.

It sounds great! The álbum quality is awesome! I love João Gilberto and everything he does.

It was pretty good, but not really my type of music

Not something I’d necessarily sit and analyse deeply, but as a mood-setter it works brilliantly—relaxed, classy, and quietly addictive.

It’s jazz. Sax jazz. If that Benny Goodman piano, drum, and woodwind style with occasional vocals isn’t for you, this would be a tough listen. Thankfully, that is for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pleasant enough I suppose, but not my bag

Pleasant enough but not something I would listen to

I guess, fine for what it is? But really not my thing. I never need to hear The Girl From Ipanem again, and I've heard it twice in 120 albums.

Really quite unpleasant to listen to. One star. Tom.

I've learned that I actually quite enjoy the vibes of Bossa Nova. This album is no different.

Temazos, muy bueno para cuando quieres estar chill y romantizar la vida un poco.

One of the great albums of this list. A Girl from Ipanema is classic

I'm not a fan of modern jazz or Bossa Nova. This album is high quality, but it isn't enjoyable to me at all.

Super soothing. Just easy jazz. Not something I'll find myself listening to too often, but I can see where people would love it

Can music be evocative and innovative, but also incredible smooth and easy to listen to? In this case the answer is yes. A beautiful album.

Superb performance. A bit samy but what the same is is so fun to listen to. Will definitely come back to this.

One of my all-time favorites!

Ok its great. But its all WAY too similar.

This isn't the first time that I have listened to this album, and I still really like this combination of bossa nova and jazz. It's definitely a record that I will listen to again.

I love some Brazilian classics. This is true music. They do not make music like this anymore. Also the mixing and mastering of this album is so good and it came out in 1964... Debating on giving this a 5/5 because it is exactly what I love about Brazilian classical music.

easy background music. girl from ipanema is iconic. 4 seems too high, 3 too low. but going three.

favs: the girl from ipanema para machuchar meu coracao corcovado o grande amor the girl from ipanema corcovado (quiet nights of quiet stars) rating 3/5

wonderful!

girl from Ipanema mention?

Listening to this album was like soaking in a hot spring I feel healed

So fun to listen to the rest of this album!!

Also ich habe mit nd das ganze Album angehört aber es war so 5/10 es war halt so ruhig und aus spanich (denke ich?)

Slow bossa nova

A classic. Really enjoyable listen.

love

Hermoso álbum, sin dudas la bossa nova es el género que más tranquilidad y relajación me da, y esa guitarra impoluta sumado al saxo de Getz me transportan a un lugar de paz justo en el momento que más los necesito.

the reference Bossa Nova album, 10/10

As a chill listen I really enjoyed parts of this, solid like 3.75 for music just to have on.

I feel the need to put on loafers and linen pants and sip espresso in some south american cafe. This was a fun listen. Laid back for sure. I like the voices and the overall tone. 5/7/26

very sexy

suena cute, es muy lofi. El bossa nova creo que me parece agradable, el Jazz no tanto aunque hacen una linda combinación. Las voces son muy dulces y suena cinematográfico

Great if you wanna focus a lot of the songs just flow together so I forgot to like them, but it doesn’t sound bad at all, but I don’t think I’ll be returning to it perfectly OK

Stan Getz es un saxofonista yankee que le agrega saxo a temas en portugues, gran propuesta

This is fine. Some nice easy listening. I enjoyed The Girl From Ipanema the most. Overall, however, this isn't really my genre of choice and I don't have much to say about it beyond that.

5/3 Was okay

That's what that song is!

Easy listening, fantastisk ton av Getz. Inte särskilt spännande fusion av jazz och latinamerikanska toner. En trea

Not hating it, not feeling it

Easy listening, quite good background music to work to.

Summers background music

This was delightful! It went by so quick! I really like this. Pleasant and fun. Good walking around music.

I'm very early into my Jazz listening journey, but this is one of the albums that got me into it. I will always cherish the memories of walking home in the dark after a late Uni class, listening to this. Such a beautiful record. Perfect everything. Ordered the vinyl seconds into first hearing it.

Bossa nova is always nice, but this one felt like just the basics and not a lot more. Gilberto's great voice was canceled out by the bad recording quality of the brass

So laid back it's almost vertical. A little too much so for me; I'd prefer to be a bit more engaged by what I'm listening to

Slow, relaxing bossa nova. Males me sleepy if I’m not doing something else.

sympa

el primer 5/5 de la lista. conciso, protagonismo repartido, secciones memorables y, a mí juicio, un acompañamiento perfecto para los momentos de la vida que parecen banales, pero a la larga uno termina atesorando. próximo viaje a brasil será buscado y adquirido.

Lovely!

Amazing jazz album

I’m a sucker for a light, Latin, lounge kind of vibe. Great album for the right mood. The Girl From Ipanema is an all-timer. Getz sounds tremendous. Top track: Girl From Ipanema.

I'm not the target audience for this type of release. That being said, it was nice.

Loved this album. It was catchy and easy to listen to all day long 4.5 stars

I did enjoy this album, but I just found it all merged into one in the background and it was difficult to be an active listener

Yay!!!! I love this album!! My parents’ first dance at their wedding was to “O Grande Amor” and to this day this album’s a personal favorite. It HAS been a second since I listened to it though so I’m glad I got it! And this music... the best way I can personally describe it is music to walk through Garfield Park Conservatory to. "Girl From Ipanema" is a positively essential song of all time. If you were assembling, say, 1001 SONGS that you should listen to until you die, that would be HIGH on the list, at least for me. Simply one of the most incredible songs of all time, due to the 4 distinct moments (João's first verse, Astrud's second verse, Stan's incredible saxophone solo, and Antonio's piano), all of which being undeniably essential moments in the jazz canon. After it ends, there is little time to reflect on what you've just heard before being thrust into "Doralice," which is pretty much "Girl From Ipanema"-lite, though let's be real, that's what this entire album is. Other high points include "Para machucar meu coração," "Só danço samba," and, of course, "O grande amor." Breathtaking. 9.7/10

If Bossa Nova is our thing than this is the high water mark.

First listen

Slick and sexy.

Very smooth caliming and pretty. I recommend for doing homework or using as kinda a kind of soothing backround noise! Definitely recommend!

Every genre has a defining classic and this is the one for bossa nova, a genre I would've never considered without 1001

I really enjoyed this. Thought it was very nice to have on while I was working today. A lot of the tracks felt quite similar so I struggled to pick a favourite and least favourite, but I did really like it. Sent my friend an angry voice note earlier and then this started playing afterwards which I thought was quite funny. Fav song: Para Machuchar Meu Coracao Least fav: Doralice

Just a lovely album to listen to. Minus points for the repetition but bossa nova is so calming. Love it. Specific rating - 4.6 Fav song - Girl from ipanema Least fav - o grande amor

Perfect sunny weather album. Love the songs with Astrud on them- musically the three of them work so so well together, although interpersonally (and financially) I think Astrud deserved much better than what they put her through. Favourite song: The Girl From Ipanema Least: O Grande Amor

It turned out to be such a peaceful and sweet album—you know, like those moments in France when you’re walking along, breathing in the fresh air, looking up at the sky with your headphones on, and all you want is for no one to talk to you as you head to a café. It sounds ridiculous, but that’s really what I picture: peace and calm set to music.

A masterpiece of the genre. I always love listening to it again.

Très content d’écouter ça C’est joli ! La langue, les instruments J’adore la batterie en fait dans la jazz, je trouve ça très subtil et satisfaisant

Enjoyed - all pleasant and chilled to listen to - the girl from Ipanema is a great version - clear standout

Siempre es increíble la bossa nova

What a lovely record!

The Good: We get to enjoy Joe Pesci!!! The Bad: That’s another Stan Getz… The Ugly: They still fuck you at the drive-thru!!! How many of you young-uns are going to understand the above? So, when I was a little younger, more frequently then not, around my birthday, every 3 years or so, we would move to a new country. My father was not one of them important civil servants working at your local embassy or consul, no no, he worked in the finance sector, and was tasked with the things he was tasked with. It was ’82 and I found my surroundings to be the beach all of a sudden… My birthday is in the middle of summer, which is the reason that we would always move around my birthday, because this way we would not be transferred to a new school in the middle of the year. Anyway, Rio de Janeiro had become our new destination… and before people start jammer about how could that must have been… Rio, in the ‘80s, was dirt poor, and we, for all intents and purposes, were considered rich… If you’ve never had a machete pulled on your because someone wants your watch and sneakers, you don’t know what I’m talking about. So what the fuck does this have to do with our “o disco da vez”? Well, wherever we would go, my father would embrace local music and play it constantly. So I got to listen to a ton of Gilberto Gil, and I was actually hoping to find some bossanova on this list… Great album, greater memories—even if the machete pulling is no fun, it is still an integral part of my youth… I dedicate this 4* rating to the beach volleyball club Caspahinho who were nice enough to “adopt” my younger brother and me as part of the clan!

Good song from tiktok. You just can't rate an album that has this song lower than 3

Decent but boring. Another album people born before are leaving comments on youtube talking about how they found this record in an archeological digsite in midwestern Peru

Love bossa nova and this is beautiful.

The easiest listening that ever easy listened.

joao can play

It’s well regarded as THE bossa nova album for a reason, it’s one of the chillest there is. There is the language barrier for me but the vibe is always constant so i won’t let that sway the basically perfect score. Standout is The Girl From Ipanema.

❤️

Immaculate vibes 4/5

the girl in Ipanema - such a gorgeous melody, my favorite💕

Girl from Ipanema W

lovely, so very smooth and pleasant to listen to. Like a warm spring breeze in a hammock.

I can’t imagine listening to this record and not feeling a little better than you did before you hit play.

Favorite Track: The Girl From Ipanema

Smooth Bossa Nice.....drift away

This was an interesting diversion from the usual albums on this list. Not something I’d probably ever listen to on purpose, but I enjoyed the bossa nova and jazzy vibes of this album. Felt like I was on an international vacation sipping frozen cocktails by the beach. (3)

Seit ich den veganen Seelenwärmer von Dr. Oetker nicht mehr finde ist dieses Album das letze was noch meine Seele wärmt. Wie schön kann Musik sein? Wenn sich meine Trennungen so anfühlen würden wie João die Trennung in Doralice rüber bringt würde ich ganz viele Beziehungen führen nur um mich wieder trennen zu können. Wer diesem Album keine 5/5 gibt sucht immer noch verzweifelt nach einem Sinn im Leben. Mein Sinn ist das sich meine Seele irgendwann so anfühlt wie sich dieses Album anhört

Solid. 3*

Amazing album, i wasn't expecting it to be that good.

I have no doubt this was a very influential album in the world of Bossa Nova and Jazz. And I kinda enjoyed it. But I'm also way, way over Girl From Ipanema le. Still giving it 4 stars because it was at least different.

No me gusta...

As far as jazz albums go, I always felt Getz/Gilberto was a little too tidy. But if you're hosting a dinner party, this is the classic go-to for background music.

Creo que el Jazz no es lo mío

Lovely Friday morning listen. Understated and ageless.

ya conocia el album, muy bueno por cierto me encanta la musica de brasil toodo de ella

This is genuinely one of the most beautiful albums I've ever listened to, including stuff that I listen to outside of the project. I am a sucker for bossa nova

zo teder en fijn. een absolute koning op het gebied van muziek om op te dansen tijdens het koken op een herfstavond.

Enjoyed this more than I expected to. I wouldn't have ever believed I'd be giving a thumbs up to a heavily bossa nova infused record, but here we are.

Only got chance to listen to it once, really enjoyable. Would I sit a listen to it again? Probably not , but as driving music, definitely 👍

On an untypical drizzly Friday in Cyprus I found myself in a rut. I'd driven into town, done the weekly shop, been for a walk and gone to the gym, each time the soundtrack to these tasks felt painfully familiar. While I love the way that Spotify has integrated itself into my daily life, for some reason today I became acutely aware of the lack of real variety in the music they present to you as the listener. Once they have a feel for your taste and you've listened to a few tracks, the algorithms that power this particular platform work to keep you listening as long as possible. Often this results in what feels like the same handful of songs showing up constantly. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it has more than once made me feel pigeon-holed into listening to certain songs or genres. I stumbled across this website and the premise seems to be exactly what I'm looking for in the moment in time. A means of expanding my musical horizons, while scratching that itch I have for rating things. I'm looking forward to listening to different music daily and reflecting on it. This is the first album I was presented and my thoughts are below. Getz/Gilberto started strong with one of my favourite songs "The Girl From Ipanema" and really kept the momentum throughout. I listened to this album while I was in the shower and cooking my tea, and I feel that the music lends itself well to this part of my day. There is a sway to each track that is punctuated by some saxophone work that would make Bleeding Gums Murphy proud. Other notable tracks included "Doralice" and "Corcovado", and while there the majority of the lyrics (that are sang in Portuguese) where lost on me, the instrumentals are really what made this album great for me. Relaxing while not slow. Energetic while not frantic. Smooth while not sterile. A fantastic start from a fantastic album.

The sound on this record is just perfection. The songs are great, the performances are great. I appreciate how the sax is mixed loudly. Easy inclusion on a list of greats.

I love Stan Getz en Joao Gilberto, I love bossa nova! Ja luister veel naar dit in de zomer, het voelt alsof je op een nazomermiddag net te veel rode wijn hebt gedronken.

ik vond dat andere album van m leuker

Perfect soundtrack to a quiet morning or a chill hang.

Summer 22’ i was introduced to Brazilian jazz/ bossa nova, this was one of the first albums i visited. really shaped my ear. feels like sunshine and flowers blooming.

I was primed to love this, considering Frank Sinatra is consistently one of my most listened to artists. While there is some repetition and a lot of the songs are similar, this is as close to perfect as Jazz gets.

i enjoyed it good time jazz

Loved the flowey jazz, felt like a nice breeze that move to dance, and makes the world quite and makes me fell relaxed. Not my usual type of music, but I rlly enjoyed it.

You can never go wrong with jazz, it's just so nice to listen to. Very warm and relaxing.

großartig.

It's lovely bossanova. I enjoyed it - makes for great background music.

Just ask The Girl from Ipanema, she will recommend this to you.

Wish I could find this any different than the other jazz quartet style stuff on here. Desafinado the best

One song doesnt make an album

the "girl from ipanema" album!! very beautiful jazz with funky beats and smooth saxophone

Latin Sax with Spanish vocals. Not really my jam.

Banger! 4.6

muito bom

Good

The Girl from Ipanema is an incredible song, but the rest of the album is comparatively unassuming and not a whole lot of interest happens. Very pleasant, of course.

Jazzy jazz...

Really chill. I didn't care for whatever that brass instrument was.

First of (probably) a few albums I had zero knowledge on before listening, but what a listen! Smooth groove throughout that really just fills the whole project. Makes for a really engaging record especially that opening track, damn. I enjoyed the vocals throughout but the female vocals on here especially were great. I could see me enjoying this even more on subsequent listens, but as of now, I gotta listen to some more Bossa nova.

The girl form ipanema es la única que disfrute. No disfruto mucho este tipo de canciones

This is the soundtrack to my childhood so I have to give it a 5!

I loved this album, very nice Latin jazz. I will say that I will and will never be a fan of albums that repeat songs on them. Aretha Franklin did it as well and I just think it’s outright lazy so they can fill their criteria of minutes in an album. But the music is so good it’s still a 4, one of the most chill albums to me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ very moody

Kivaa bosista!

Genre defining!

Well that was real nice 9/10

nice calm relaxing bossanova

an all timer

like I get why this genre became the default elevator music /pos Girl from impena is so good

I love Stan Getz, I love Jobim, I love bossa nova. If this had Chega de Saudade on it, it would be perfect.

A very pleasant listen. Not something I normally would have picked for myself but it was very relaxing.

A tiny bit elevator music, because I thinik it was overused as elevator music. A decent vibe though.

Tiene algo escuchar este álbum un domingo a menos de dos meses de graduarme de la universidad. Quiero tener 30, ser coqueta y próspera; estar solo, de noche en un departamento en Manhattan tomando una copa de vino, tener lámparas de luz cálida, un montón de plantas y muebles art déco.

I have yet to encounter a bad jazz album in this experience so far. This is like a perfect album to listen to early morning/late at night. This is not a 2pm on a Tuesday record. Very smooth and very chill. I can appreciate how none of the songs feel like they over stay their welcome. Especially since the album can start to feel one note at times and its what, I think, keeps this record from being higher than a 4/5.

Hey, it's this cafe music album

This one came dangerously close to being time and place music, similar to a lot of the samba, bossa nova, and Indian music I've gotten. But it has a kinda, chill cocktail jazz vibe to it that I'm really enjoying. Great album, if a little repettitive.

Unimpeachable, 10/10.

Absolute classic bossa nova. Laid back vocals, beautiful and stripped back melodies, rounded out by saxophone at an S-tier level. This is tropical summer possibilities captured on vinyl. 5⭐️

Most elevatory elevator music I have ever heard in a row. Music itself isn't bad, but I'd rather ride an elevator for a minute or two than 39 minutes. Certainly did not help that the last two songs were repeats.
