Getz/Gilberto

Insanely surprised with this pull. Not basic elevator music jazz like I was expecting. This is super cozy, intimate feeling jazz. It almost feels like the folkier stuff I listen to from the 60’s-70’s. Insanely easy listening & doesn’t drag. Astrud Gilberto brings the perfect vibe to balance the songs out, and keep everything from feeling repetitive. Idk how to explain it, but this album just makes me feel at home. Miles Davis watch out. I think I enjoy this one even more

I think this is worth hearing, it can get a little monotonous to be actively listening all of the way through but I don't think that is really the intention with this album.

Really relaxing

I've heard some of the more famous tracks before, but had no idea who it was or what kind of music it would be. I love it!

Very groovy summery vibes, very much enjoyed. 4/5. Definitely an album for the kitchen, early morning or late at night, hits the spot.

Bastante relajante, me gustó ya que estoy tratando de poco a poco meterme en el mundo de ese genero musical. Le doy un 4

As a disclaimer, I’m not too familiar with the jazz-esque genres. Neither do I speak Portuguese. I enjoyed it though, moved me to a local tropical cafe where no worries matter. Reminded me of fado here and there. Elegant enough , yet not-so-much of the elevator music” as some say. Overall 4/5, will definitely come back to it on a summer day! Elegant jazz that could be a soundtrack to Narcos or any other latino screenplay. TGFI was pleasant calm Wait, the 2nd author is Brazilian, I thought it sounded a bit like Fado or like things Kiedrynski plays during his programs. Not my kind of music but I enjoined it.

Lovely

Si quieres música relajada como si estarías en la playa, este es el álbum

Smooth

Jazzy, smooth, chill, calming

Do Brasil

For jazz, really good

bardzo intymny, wyobrażałam sobie parę kochanków tańczących w kuchni

Thoroughly relaxing Fave track: Girl from Ipanema

So nice. A boring descriptive word but this album really is so nice. 4/5

Loved it !

Perfect album to listen to on a sunny day :)

It just hit about the right place and right time - late evening as I was winding down my day. I definitely enjoyed!

Sweepy

Delightfully pleasant.

I swore when this popped up we’d already done it. But it turns out we’ve done both artists individually. And yeah they sound great together.

The only way I could describe this album is that its focus on jazz, RNB and over all soul like music (nor sure if I'm saying it right) is very well. Its the music you would hear in a coffee shop while studying hanging out sort of like Lo-fi. Best way to describe it overall as Jazz and Lo-fi. Its great when concentrating on a big test, or during finals week where you really got to lock in. Theres 10 songs and while I didn't add all of them to my liked playlist some of my favorite standouts were The Girl from ipanema I wasn't enjoying this one until the saxaphones and supporting vocals hit. Its a great beginning to an album setting the exact tone of what you'll get. Para Muchuchar mer cacou and desafindo The saxaphones were amazing This album fits the right mood, enjoyable, and overall perfect for studying or a late night drive or some peace. Yet I wouldn't really know what other context the music would still play or mabye a difference in taste. I'd give it 7/10 for replayability and a 7/10 for enjoyablility

Loved this! I think I've heard The Girl From Ipanema before. 4/5

Es una fusión entre Jazz, Bossanova y Samba. Es tranquilo, suave, apacible. Sin duda, el saxofón es el protagonista. Precisamente, a veces tiende a ser repetitivo por el desesperado ánimo del saxofón por sobresalir.

Hey honey, Candles are lit, steaks are done, lights down low and the cab franc is open and ready to pour. One sec just have to put on this album.

lovely little album!

That 60s Brazil sound is just so chill. It's easy listening at its finest. Adding Stan Getz to the mix is a chef's kiss.

Cruisy, pleasant. Great cafe music.

The only bossa nova album that most people have

Bossa Nova doesn't Getz better than this!

An essential bossa-nova jazz album. Wonderful, with a warm and heartfelt playing.

miam jazzy martini

Super cite and chill album.

4/5 great bossa nova calm n vibes

Excellent bossa nova, could listen to this all day in the sun.

Lekker luisteren hoor

Chillig, nix einzuwenden

Very enjoyable. Quintessential samba. Great guitar by Gilberto, and Getz's saxophone brings in a classic jazz element that is timeless. I really enjoyed the tracks sung by Astrud Gilberto, particularly "Corcovado."

9 / 10

ta muy boneto waaa muy chill me encanta

This was a calm vibe!

This project has made me aware of the bossa nova genre, which I’m very grateful for. This was so mellow and soothing, very nice to have on in the background.

nice South American sound to this ...very relaxing and some great 🎷

I enjoyed this album, though it’s not my favorite genre….it starts to all sound the same to me after a while (which depending on the listener can be said about any genre, honestly) But I enjoyed the jazzy interplay between instruments and the horn sound was fantastic. I also thought Astrud Gilberto’s vocal work was beautiful. I wasn’t familiar with any of her work save for ‘Iponema’ but am inclined to seek out some of her other works.

Perfect album to start a day with So calming Feels like the summer sunshine on your cheeks

Sunday morning vibes

Like any other poser, this is basically the only bossa nova album I've got any real amount of familiarity with, even though it's definitely not the only one I've heard. Worse still, I basically just know Girl from Ipanema! Seriously though, I love how bossa nova guitars sound so much, and I really ought to fill the blind spots in my knowledge.

oh, my friends, i have been converted. Samba is incredible and I love it. Girl from Ipanema is, of course, a classic, but I also really enjoyed Doralice. LOVE that they have girl from ipanema twice I could have sworn I had just looped to the beginning of the album again. very silly. it's all just so rhythmically satisfying!! theyve made me a bossa nova kid..

Smooth, very tropical, brings to mind a very distinctive vibe and point in time. Has a vintage quality that feels instantly familiar. Somewhat prone to being background music though, could have a bit more meatiness somehow?

My first previously unheard discovery on the list. I will be going back to this one

Cómo me encanta todo lo relacionado al jazz!! Y sobre todo si es hecho eb latinoamérica!!

so romantic and lovely

Sounds absolutely incredible in the 5 series. Unlike other albums of this genre this one plays really mellow and unfolds slowly - I could see myself playing this from time to time. 4/5

Light and lovely tunes, I love this record!

Nice, chill jazz-samba with the samba smash hit. And it clocks in at unde 40 minutes. Chef's kiss!

This was a nice exposure to some music I wouldn't have thought I liked. It's fun, good background music for kicking around cleaning the house or cooking.

Short but quality. Good music for chores.

Un clásico. Personalmente no es mi estilo pero hay que reconocer que suena actual y tiene canciones que todos conocemos.

Nice to listen to album, although maybe a bit too much easy listening, holding it back from the perfect marks. 4/5

Das perfekte working on a rainy Sunday Album. Man braucht wahrscheinlich auch nur ein Bossa Nova Album.

TALL AND TAN AND YOUNG AND LOVELY🗣🗣 THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA GOES WALKING💞✨️ 5/5 Do I need to say more? Jk jk 3.8/5 because atleast some pieces dont stand out to me and sound like ever other jazz song and I DONT LIKE JAZZ

groovy

Lägg till en stjärna om jag sitter i en bar när det här spelas.

Mysig klassik Jazz

very easy listening, great for background while working or dining. Inoffensive in the extreme, very gentle

I very much like this soft jazz

Enjoyable and pleasant album. The woman who sings on some of the songs (who I learned is Astrud Gilberto) has one of the greatest voices I've ever heard--up there it Ella Fitzgerald.

One song we all know, but the rest are surprisingly good and very chilled out.

7.81/10

Um clássico, João Gulberto é um patrimônio cultural brasileiro. Lindas músicas, vozes e arranjos.

Yasssss this is a bit of me. Warm summer morning

расслабляет хорошо прям спасыбо

Silky smooth. Found a genre of jazz I can get behind thanks to this list 7 / 10

Was dancing in my kitchen.

What a vibe! So gentle! Does any particular track stand out? Not particularly. Yet, I am nonetheless transported.

:dancing_couple_emoji:

Lovely stuff. Pretty perfect bossa.

Extraordinarily rich in feeling. His voice is such a textured instrument, every word tells a story.

*the* bossa nova album. Easy listening, doesn’t feel groundbreaking but that’s with 60 years of musical tradition building upon it

Back to back saxophone perfection!! Favorite Track: The Girl From Ipanema

Nice laidback Bossa vibes

album de "the girl from ipanema", todas muy agradables, tranquilas, buena musica, 4/5

First song told me exactly what I was in for, and had no idea this was who made that iconic song. Really really enjoyed this. So relaxing and just easy to listen to. When you dig in you find this mastery of saxophone being played in such a subtle way yet without a single flaw. I might have to buy this album

4 stars

very lovely and soothing but also i think i've been irreconcilably socialized to think of bossa nova as "nice coffee shop music" unless it's doing something really abrasive or out there.

Dude, gorgeous. Its bubbly and gentle. You can throw this on at any time, have a coffee, smoke something, good clear your mind album and its timeless. Romantic but in an old classy way.

Cool as hell

Chill album. Feels like a cooking playlist. Jazzy dark restaurant

amo el jazz y brasil

Cool Jazz, Cool Cover João be seducing me over here like wtf??

Gorgeous. I was already familiar with about half of the songs, but it's nice to hear the whole album.

Couple of really solid songs on there. Laid back vibe.

A classic genre defining album. Something I listen to to relax especially on car journeys

I love jazz with all my heart

A good fusion of classic jazz and latin beats. I liked it although I would have to be in the right mood for it. Of course, this album could just put me in the right mood.

Before: I recognize the name. I'm thinking some form of jazz from the 50's, maybe? During: Oh, "The Girl from Ipanema". Of course I recognize that, a solid five. This should be a enjoyable listen. 5 The Girl From Ipanema 4 Doralice 3 Para Machucar Meu Coracao = To Hurt My Heart 3 Desafinado 4 Corcovado 3 So Danco Samba (Jazz Samba) 3 O Grande Amor 4 Vivo Sohando After : Average = 3.6, I'll round up to 4. This is not how I usually do this but I'm feeling generous. Can't say I'd go out of my way to listen to this again but it was enjoyable. If it weren't for "The Girl from Ipanema", it'd be a 3.

A delight of a listen. Makes me feel fancy and rich, like I’m eating cheese from a charcuterie board at a grown-up dinner party.

I’m going to celebrate all the Bossa Nova on this list because I’m not convinced there’s enough (they certainly did Herb Alpert dirty by snubbing him). “The Girl From Ipanema” and “Corcovado” are two of the most recognizable Bossa Nova tracks in existence and these versions may be THE versions… “So nice you get ‘em twice!” A must-buy record for your cocktail party record collection.

nice!! second stan getz album i feel like a fan now. loved the female vocals and the jazz

So incredibly good. Really soothing. Easy to listen to.

Really liked it! Very groovy

I like João, it's hard to look elsewhere when you're in a Bosa Nova mood. I really enjoy O Grande Amor off this one, but it strangely is the least listened to song off the album on spotify. Most often, if I am in a Bosa Nova-y mood, I look to Clube da esquina which is more influenced by more contemporary folk. 4/5 for G&G.

This is one I love! 4/5

Really enjoyable listen!!! Gorgeous instrumentals and gorgeous vocals as well.

‘Aaahhhhhh, that’s where’s that song is from’ type of album. Really calming tho

Nice light Bossa Nova. Almost too light and chill.

Perfect background music. Warm, fun, unobtrusive.

I've never really listened to musch jazz, or Bosa Nova in particular, so this album was very new to me. It kept my attention, and was interesting musically. For me to think that as a rock/metal fan must mean it's pretty good.

Very good 4.25

Again knew only one song, but the rest was not what I expected. The blend of jazz and bossa nova is beautiful and there were many tracks I actually enjoyed more than The Girl From Ipanema. I really loved the instrumentation as well as the vocals which sometimes switched from song to song. Groovy stuff and very chill vibes.

Albums like this are the reason why I started this project, I love as pleasantly surprised by this one.

Fantastic album. So smooth and killer. I would listen to this on repeat!

Very good English renditions of bossa nova classics. Astrud Gilberto’s voice is incredible and the arrangements are very good. Smooth and carry the music well. They also take interesting production choices here like hard panning the vocals to the right which gives it a beautiful air of nostalgia. You probably need to listen to some more Bossa Nova then just this but let’s say four stars.

An essential jazz and bossa nova masterpiece. A delightful listen for the first time but many have probably heard the opening track on its own before.

vraiment cool, petit mood en cuisinant. peut-être un peu redondant parfois

Lovely listen, samba and jazz

Obvious Iconic album. I love the story of Getz’s friend going to Brazil with Tomy Bennet, learning what Bosa Nova was and bringing it back to the states to then have a huge impact on the music industry and bringing jazz back as popular after the start of Rock n roll in 1960. I love how good the album feels in its simplicity.

My only experience with bossa nova music is knowing the Girl from Ipanema like basically everyone else in the world and using the bossa nova setting on the funky little 1970s drum machine I own. Overall, this album feels like a great introduction to bossa nova music. It was an enjoyable and very fun listen, but I felt it was a bit repetitive near the end and was maybe a bit too easy listening at times. Luckily, it really doesn't overstay its welcome at all.

Laid back but captivating. Sparse but warm. Great album.

Chill jazz to vibe and bop to. A little softer than my preference but I dig it.

This was a vibe. Felt like dinner parties, cafes and backgrounds.

I really like it. Of all of the new to me albums so far, this one is definitely out on again and add to rotation.

this album feels like sitting on a small balcony on a warm sunday morning, drinking coffee, smoking a cigarette and feeling like carrie bradshaw.

Yeah siiir

Really pleasant bossa nova album. I loved listening to this, happy this one came up on this list.

It was pretty groovy

No idea the album is from the 60s, a nice change of vibe for the day

Very pleasant. A bit redundant.

Chill and fun

Very nice jazz listening. Would own this album and have it for jazzy morning listening!

It sounds like warm breezy beach days and nights in the lounge

Absolutely love jazz. Absolutely love Portuguese. What a treat to listen to Brazilian Jazz. The dominance of the saxophone in the majority of songs is a delight. Slow enough to have as background music; fast enough to dance the night away with a partner. Top Songs: 1. O Grande Amor 2. Doralice 3. So Danco Samba

One of those, artists that i've never heard of, but of course, wrote a song that everyone knows: The Girl From Ipanema. I have no idea how or why this song became so popular. This album is credited as the best Bossa Nova albums of all time and one of the best selling jazz albums of all time. Bossa Nova is basically very slow samba and usually has jazz elements added. I pretty much know nothing about samba or bossa nova or jazz.......but I think any movie that has a dim jazz bar scene is playing this music in the background. The music just sounds perfect for high class, dim jazz club environments. I can appreciate this album has it's place and it's incredibly niche, but when you're in the right environment and mood, it really hits. Put this on for date night at your house and you're golden.

A truly calming and peaceful album that took me by surprise with how much I actually like it. I will definitely be coming back to this playlist for reading and if I ever just want something that will just ground me and make me feel just a little bit better :)

Doralice- I like the non-lexical vocals. Got a bit of rhythm, makes me dance a little with it. Feels expensive and very jazzy. 5/5 Para Machuchar Meu coracao- bit more laid back. Nice piano. Feels like I’m at an expensive restaurant, however I would not pay much attention to this song if it came on. Makes me sleepy, kinda boring. 3/5 Desafinado- more focus on vocal. Nice precision and piano. Gets a bit boring and repetitive. However, is a nice song to listen to. 3.5/5 Corcovado(quiet night of quiet stars)- sets a very clear vibe. However, other songs in the album also achieve this and more. Missing something. Cannot see myself listening to again. Nice sax. 2/5 Corcovado (quiet nights of quiet stars)- bit confused why there is 2 called the same. This one is a little better I like the female singing at the start a bit more. Saxophone comes in a bit stronger. Nothing spectacular. 2.5/5 So dance samba- has a lot more potential. Needs something more to give it the push over edge. Good guitar. Nice percussion. Sax is doing some nice things, getting a bit more creative/expressive. 4/5 The girl from Ipanema (just Stan Getz)- I like the non-lexical vocals at the start. Vocals have nice accents and fit rhythm nicely. Satisfying saxophone pick up of melody. 4.5/5 The girl from Ipanema( more artist)- vocals slay at start. Shorter- the right amount to make it enjoyable (doesn’t get boring but gives everything it should). Piano is cool. Vocals and saxophone together (heterophonic texture) is satisfying. 5/5 O grande amor- makes me want to sleep. Got a romantic feel. Too much saxophone. Mid vocals. Definitely a jazz sound. 2.5/5 Vivo Sonhando- nice melody. Would pick when looking for a jazz piece. Percussion and guitar carrying. Sax is soothing and not boring/sleepy. 4/5

Jazz-mys, hade hört några låtar förut och nice vibe men lite förvirrande att samma låt var två gånger på albumet. Annars nice

This one grows on you. First listen I was a little disappointed, but second listen (in a coffee shop while working on things) it was the perfect vibe. Chill, fresh sounding, brings instant relaxation. It just feels… warm? No other way to describe it sonically. Makes you feel warm and cozy. The Girl from Ipanema is of course a classic. Other favorites are “Só Danço Samba,” “Doralice,” and “Para Machucar Meu Coracao”

good,jazzy fun different from what i like.

I don’t reach for jazz instinctively when seeking music but maybe i should

Album No. 0112 on my list. I had never heard of Stan Getz before, or any of his collaborators for that matter. But obviously I had known “The Girl From Ipanema”. That song is indeed the best song to me on this album, because it’s so catchy. But the other songs do hold up as well. It’s really a good album. I don’t know the first thing about bossa nova and have only little knowledge about Jazz, but I can definitely see why this is a seminal record for the bossa nova genre. Very good listen! I’ll add “Corcovado (Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars)”, and “Desafinado” to my playlist as well. I think I’ll listen to the whole thing again pretty soon, I’m glad that I discovered this through the 1001 album list. 4/5 stars.

Review - lovely calm guitar jazz. the only bossa nova album I know. Rating - 8/10 Need to hear? YES

29/12/2025 1. the girl from ipanema - the guitar is realllllllly nice.... don't know what he's saying, but it's very relaxing. her voice is also very relaxing.... saxaphone!!!!! loving the drums in this. saxaphone is very soft.... whispery.... so cooolll...... 2. doralice - fun intro. again, don't lnow what he's saying, but love his voice <3 saxaphone solo!!!! realllly soft and nice. *3. para machuchar meu coracao - not much else to say, especially because i can't understand the lyrics..... just enjoying listening to it. loving when the saxaphone starts. 4. desafinado - bass is nice in this album. love how tender these songs sound.... saxaphone save me.... *5. corcovado (quiet nights of quiet stars) - the piano..... the vocals.... saxaphone just started!!! the bass, piano and drums together <3 *6. so danço samba - don't know what he's saying, but it sounds a fun song :) loving the saxaphone break.... too busy dancing to type, sorry! so much groove. probably my favourite so far *7. o grande amor - a lot more dramatic from the intro.... guitar and drums started, cool again. very moody saxaphone. piano is lovely.... loving the bassline. great ending! 8. vivo sonhando - nothing new to say. saxaphone is crazy throughout. really cool album, very nice and relaxing to listen to. definitely didn't feel like 40 mins. will be relistening to this one again :)

The girl from ipanema is iconic and the rest of the album is equally enjoyable.

Jazz. Nice 3.75

I liked this one :). I’ve been getting into jazz and funnily enough Spanish jazz as well, so this is actually perfect. I already knew one of the songs haha: the girl from Ipanema. Would rate a 8/10.

Chill, remind me of erasmus in Portugal

Lovely jazz album. Add to library. Suitable for a slow afternoon/evening.

Was ok

Este álbum puede describirse perfectamente con la primera línea que escuchamos en él: Olha que coisa mais linda, mais cheia de graça. Ni más qué decir.

gosto muito das vibes e é muito fixe para deixar de fundo a dar

Un cafecito, un poco de bosanova/jazz y el día puede comenzar.

The Girl From Ipanema: 4.5/5 Doralice: 4/5 Para Machuchar Meu Coração: 4.5/5 Desafinado: 4.5/5 Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars): 4.5/5 Só Danço Samba: 4/5 O Grande Amor: 5/5 Vivo Sonhando: 4/5 Verdict: 4/5. One of the most pleasant albums I've ever listened to.

Loved it

Amo João Gilberto!

This was good. I thought it was my 2nd Joao Gilberto album but the latiny album Sinatra did was with Antonio Carlos Jobim. It's just both these albums have Girl From Ipanema. What a great song. Yeah these are some chill, loungey, jazzy, Brazilian vibes.

Pleasant Jazz to put in background. Yeah, it's kind of elevator or lounge music, but I like it.

Had me levitating as I would be in Europe. A pleasant listen

Pleasant, chill. Good background music for pure vibing. I thought some of it sounded the same, but i also dont listen to bossa nova.

Listen to more bossa nova when you have nothing particular in mind Best = The girl from Ipanema (2nd ver) Skip = Desafinado

Chill vibes. Loved this one for an evening over dinner

Calm, relaxing, bossonova style. Enjoyable listening. 8/10 Would listen again

Perfect mellow vibes. Great dinner music

Very good to study to

Chilling in a smoky café right now in my head fr fr Faves: The Girl From Ipanema, Só Danço Samba

Very jazzy - this is totally music that I would cook dinner to

Very easy listening. Some nice grooves. Would listen again👍

This is so calming I actually love it so much.might be my new go to jazzy album

I like it

Yay, a Brazilian album. Hopefully more from 70s are on this list! Cool bossa nova. 4 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 36/139 (25%) Will I get? Already have

Fantastic chill Brazilian jazz. What more would you want?

I was really thrilled to hear a bossa nova album!

I know this one well, great dinner making music. Maybe my favorite album to make dinner to in fact!

I think I’ve fallen for Astrud Gilberto. Girl from Ipanema and Corcovado are a class apart because of her, but the whole album is beautiful.

Opens with the beyond cool "The Girl from Ipanema" and the vibe is set from there onwards. Bossa Nova is always a cool sound and this way utterly delightful.

Un buen album relajante la verdad

nice jazzy tunes.

This put me in such a chill state, really liked it.

Really nice, chill bossa nova. Girl from Ipanema sets the tone and the whole album makes you feel like you’re winding down gently after a hot summer’s day.

Jazz pop from the 60’s. Quintessential. You’ve heard these songs even if you don’t know it. Great album, solid listen through.

Nice

Reminds me of Brazil! A little slow for my taste but we were fans nonetheless

Pure bliss. 4/5 . Doesn't warrant many revisits

So fucking smooth, give me an icy cold bev on a beach somewhere with this shit playing on the background oh yeasss. I should listen to more bossa nova. 8/10

Smooth and relaxing. Girl from Ipanema shines here

What a relaxing album! I really enjoyed having this on as background music. 4

Fabulous bossa nova with that unmistakable Getz sax over the top of it. Great to listen to, easy listen, nice background.

Delightfully smooth album to listen to while having coffee with my love on a Sunday morning.

Nice.

Es hilft, dass ich aktuell alles mit Saxophon gerne mag. Gutes Album für einen langsamen Samstagmorgen.

A classic. The thing that saves this from going too far into the deep end of cheese is probably the singing in Portuguese, lol. There are other jazz albums I like more, but this a pleasant summer album to enjoy a banana pancake brunch to.

Well chill

listening when: in the morning omw to pilates thoughts: the cutest elevator music ever rating: only rating so low because this genre isn’t in my normal realm of every day listened 6/10 as a listen 9/10 as music

Smooth and jazzy, cool and classic. This was a great thing to listen to on a chill morning.

A bit sickly smooth at times. But the grooves are undeniable.

4/5

Excellent jazz record - boss of the bossa nova sound

Stan just Getz me man. Nothing wrong with listening to a little love making with a saxophone.

Chill vibes

VIVA PORTUGAL favorite track: Girl from Ipanema

I liked it

I like this a lot. It's a once a year listen, for sure. For that and the iconic album art -- 4 stars.

Blir ikkje særleg meir avslappande enn dette

This is almost literally hold music or elevator music. And it probably says something about me getting older that... I actually quite like it. It's soothing and very well made, and it's really good for focusing or background noise.

The album that birthed the Bossa Nova craze. This album was so massive it convnced Francis Albert himself to embrace it. 4.5/5

Jazz is fun always 4/5

No tässois nyt sitten sitä bossaa ja novaa ja varmaan jatsiakin seassa. Pehmosta on saundi ja meno on myös pehmosta kun meikäläisen jutut. Ei oo taas kyl mitenkään kauheen tuttu genre muuta kun sen kautta mitä yks maailmanmusiikkimies on tarjoillut suosituksina. Kylhän minä niihin veisuihin lankeen ja tykkään eikä tääkään nyt tuo muutosta siihen näkemykseen, että kyl on niin mukavata kilkettä tämä. Ottijatuota kyl maar minä voisin tämmöstä kuunnella enempikin ja varmaan kuuntelenkin. Kunhan tää lista on kahlattu eka läpi. Eli sitten se on jo unohtunut lupaus, mutta tässä kohtaa iso huurteinen nelonen pöytään eikä sitä ainasta keskaria.

Have not heard. I knew one of the songs. Chill and easy listen.

my fave music to work to. so nice

Listening to this while driving around… my car smells like the 48 meatballs in my passenger seat… Ratatouille vibes

Genius at work. Although you do need a cumfy pair of slippers and a cup of cocoa to enjoy it at its best.

I already listened to this one. Very nice and fun.

A very specific mood is required for this one, but in the perhaps ~5% of cases where the stars align for me, this album works a treat. It gives off the feeling of being engineered for a light plod at dusk, or to be listened to over some mulled wine in a tiny, creaky, tucked away bar that few ever seem to visit. A warm, but also strangely distant listening experience in some ways.

Dieses Album war ein großer Schritt für den Jazz: Adaption lateinamerikanischer Rhythmen und Melodien. Ich mag den Saxophon-Sound von Stan Getz - den Gesang finde ich aus heutiger Sicht zu lapidar.

A worldie and I like every track but I must be in the mood for it

Inspired me to drink a second cocktail. Or possibly a third. But that doesn't mean it should be dismissed as cocktail jazz, because this is just so good.

Great musicians, interesting music, but not a style of jazz that I will go back and listen to often.

The music of my student flat!

Of course there’s better, but for a lot of people, this is a crucial gateway into bossanova and maybe Brazilian music or jazz as a whole. It gets nothing but love with any easygoing audience.

Good ahh album. Listened to this in exactly the right environment (coffee shop). The girl from impanema is an all time banger

This was fun and had me bouncing a little in my seat,

The grooves on this album are really gentle to the ear. Really enjoyable, especially on a Monday morning.

4/5

Now THIS is jazz.

A wonderful slice of bossa nova, a pleasure to listen to.

Jeg var redd for at dette skulle være litt sånn ugh latin-musikk med kjipe rytmer og kjipere vokal, men heldigvis ikke. Chill af, som skapt for en søndags formiddag.

Veldig behagelig album! Ikke hva jeg forventet

This exceeded my expectations and I actually really liked this. I think I generally prefer music with lyrics. Would like to listen to this at a beach bar.

Loved it. I wish I were in a cafe in Europe in the 60s listening

This is pretty fantastic, the only reason I’m stopping shirt of 5 stars is the vocals. Don’t get me wrong they’re not bad but I just don’t feel like it adds much to the pieces. I most likely will be back as this is one my daughter loves.

A whole mood.

The joys of my eclectic tastes have me listening to this right after some brutal death metal. Practiced over many years though, my ears can handle these sorts of tectonic shifts. International success of Bossa Nova may have been temporary but, out of context, this album, a major factor in that success, just sounds timeless. I may not understand Portuguese, but to my ears, the language is actually melancholia. The beautiful vocals of both João and Astrud are ably matched by Stan’s sax as the melodic salve that belies the apparent sadness at the heart of the songs. Not even the crackles of my ancient beat up copy can stop the beauty of these recordings from enduring, 60 years on.

Albums like this are why I started doing 1001 Albums. I never would have picked this up on my own, but I’m so glad I did.

So nice to listen to. You listen to it and you say, “Oh yeah. That’s so nice.”

On the surface, it's tasteful music for Mad Men execs to drink their bourbons, throw up on carpets, and harass women to. But as overplayed and clichéd as The Girl from Ipanema has become, it was the gateway for millions into Brazilian music and the playing still sounds as slick today as I imagine it did back then.

Latino jazz, classic smooth

Great background chill music

Sounds like perfection in audio form but that kind of annoys me sometimes

A true classic, and an excellent album to put on in the background during a get together.

Smooth jazz, easy listening. Great for studying/working, chill/end of night hangs.

Laganicaaaa za navit u pozadini, nicee

This is THE bossa nova album of all time. Sure, it might get repetitive at times, and maybe it's a bit easy on ears but with that being said it's...good enough for me. Can't go wrong. 4.00-4.50/5

didn‘t finish it, but honestly excellent first tunes!! the girk of Ipanema? phenomenal

lovely!

Really nice, enjoyable to listen to. It's kind of funny that I got Bossanova right before a Bossa Nova genre album. I wasn't necessarily excited about seeing saxophone in the album description, but it managed to be pretty good in spite of that.

Classy bossa nova/jazz you'd put on if you invited a girl around for dinner. The first song you will have heard in movies, probably around the seductive looking heroine. Great song. The saxophone is delightfully jazzy, without being too erratic. The rest of the album follows the similar theme. The singing is all very relaxed and I felt classy for listening to it. 4 stars.

This album is like the last night of a holiday in a Mediterranean town. Your friends have all taken earlier flights home, so it’s just you now, with one evening to kill before your flight in the morning. As the sun sets, you walk along the tree-lined river bank, and decide to stop at a nearby cafe for an espresso (a habit you have become a fan of during this trip). You sit at a table outside, under the warm light of a lamppost. This is quite a sleepy town, so there’s not much going on, aside from an elderly couple going for an evening stroll, and a woman cycling home from the library. She rides on the footpath as the cobblestone road would be a nightmare on her bike’s suspension.

Glad to get some bossa nova, it's something I've wanted to try listening to more for a while. Great summery vibes It does maybe get slightly repetitive but it's short so that isn't too big of an issue for me Highlights: The Girl From Ipanema, Vivo Sohando

Extremely soothing. Therapeutic even

synonymous with mid-’60s cosmopolitan culture — think smoky lounges, cocktail parties, modernist apartments. Like something out of "Mad Men"

Lovely stuff

Really quite a fun listening experience, quite solid throughout but the second half was a bit slower then the first

Et perfekt morgenalbum. Må hørra seinere igjen for å ikkje vær biased

Chill, mellow, peaceful, smooth. Perfect pairing for a cup of coffee in the morning, or a bike ride on a sunny day, or walking around a neighborhood, or hanging out at the beach.

good

Llevo media canción y te lo digo desde ya. Es un disco muy bueno, pero no el mejor para ir escuchando a las 7 de la mañana. Guay para crear ambiente.

Entstehen verschiedenste Bilder beim hören. Erinnert an eine gemütlichen unbeschwerten Sommerabend in Port-Lesney oder Andalusien. Schöne Musik

I really enjoyed *Getz/Gilberto*. It’s chilled, innocent, and relaxing, with such a warm, easy vibe. The whole album is beautiful to unwind to, and *The Girl from Ipanema* is a true classic that never gets old.

Clásico. Jazz del que siempre gusta oir

The only thing I don't like about this album is the male vocals, but that alone drops it down to four stars for me. Fortunately, I love the saxophone and the voice of Astrid Gilberto, along with the smooth, easy-listening nature of the tunes. making it a very solid four-star album indeed.

I am a fan of how relaxed this makes me feel. When the sax hits for the first time in The Girl From Ipanema, it rattles me. The rest of the album is pretty good too and I had a feeling that this was going to be higher up on my ratings, but some middle tracks lose me out a bit. It ends strong enough for me to say that I had a great time with it. Great vibes for high times (8/10, 4/5 on this scale)

Really nice background music.

I love the rare occasions where I don't know the album, but I do know multiple songs on the album. I really enjoyed listening to this one.

Some classics here. Great background listening.

Very chill and fun to see the origin of bossa nova!! A little samey at times

What a pleasure! Really good, such a pleasant listening experience!

8.4

No need for a song by song breakdown or to point out any specific song at all. Just make a mimosa on the morning of your day off and kick your feet up for this one. Front to back great vibe

Not something I'll return to often, but it certainly does a wonderful job of transporting you to a peaceful evening on the beach with a daquiri in hand. Quite different to the chilly English morning I'm currently dealing with.

Well, this record definitely passes the vibe check.

dum dudum dudum du duuu du dum

im not a fan of jazz but this album is so smooth and relaxing without being boring or dull, surely ill make an exception for this

Getz & Gilberto. Great combo and featuring Jobim as if the other two werent enough! Short album. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Gilberto’s singing. So cool calm and seemingly effortless. Its so intimate, like hes just talking to you. Not on this album but his S’Wonderful is a great example of this. Cross Getz’s jazz sensibbities and emotive/breathy sax, with Gilberto’s strong easy singing tone over gently plucked guitar, Astrud Gilberto chipping in with vocals that are almost the human equivalent of Getz’s sax sound, Jobim the father of bossanova composing most somhs and putting in some meloncholic and thoughtful piano (O Grande Amor), its truly a supergroup. But unlike a supergroup like, say Cream, there doeant seem to be a battle of egos going on here.

Jazzy

Recognized a lot of these tunes. Great Sunday morning record to put in. Really enjoyed it. Highlights: "Girl from Impanema" and "Corcovado"

Solid. Nice vibe music.

It's a vibe. Love it.

Learning the tenor sax right now so this was very fun to listen to Favorite: Desafinado

8.5/10

I LOVE this album. I can listen to this 8 times in a day on repeat whilst at work and I don't get bored. Unfortunately Getz was a creep and so loses out on a star.

I've known about this album before as the thing that brought bossa nova to the masses (like our grandparents generation who had vinyl probably definitely had this one) and certainly have heard the opening track but hadn't gone much further than that with it - despite my initial gut feeling that this is "muzak-ish" (which maybe it kind of is) there's really a lot to love here. The hushed intimate production, how in the forefront the vocals are and some of the melody voicings, the sax tone, all great. You can envision yourself in the 60s in a smoky, dimly lit bar by Copacabana sipping a capirinha and subtly nodding along to the vibes. It's just all so calming, maybe the critique is that it's too much so by the end, and the bossa nova pattern gets a bit repetitive, but overall not a lot to dislike here at all. Can see this being in the "calm jazz afternoon" rotation for sure!

Another sunny Sunday here in Western Australia. I'm sipping coffee and have the NRL game on tv with the sound on mute so I can listen to this album. I am relaxed and super chilled. I've never heard of this album before now. It's timing is perfect for my lazy Sunday. Anyone but the Storm ! NRL ...

Pleasant, easy listening jazz

Smooth AF

A classic album, I really enjoyed listening to it. Stan Getz has a pretty interesting Wikipedia life story if you're curious.

⭐️The Girl From Ipanema

lovely peaceful album

Went in thinking it would be quite corny, but found it very listenable. That said, more something to have on in the background .

Great album, after U2 we needed improvement. Have heard a bunch of these before and really enjoyed listening to the whole album.

Interesting, and that’s all I’ll say

Sounds like French Si and G

Im the furthest thing from a Jazz expert so I couldn't even tell you the difference between good and bad jazz. That being said it made for a relaxing commute to work and the vocals and brass were all well done. Is this my gateway jazz album that will transform me into a crazed brasshead? No, probably not but did I enjoy listening and fantising about being in a fancy suit, smoking a cigar, and drinking brandy in an uptown, classy jazz bar? You bet I did.

Nice and smooth

Good bossa nova.

Unbelievable jazz with total Latin vibe. Like a hot summer day on the beach.

i enjoyed this a lot! i feel like such a dope trying to articulate my thoughts about (mostly) instrumental music that i don’t already have a personal connection to but idk i just found this really pleasant to listen to.

Oo jazz baby. So cool, I dig your mellow tunes. Great after dinner smooth… I like it baby, bring it on in! Get your mid century on.. two weeks after my worldwide debut. I give it four stars!

Even though jazz and bossa nova aren’t usually my thing, what I heard from Getz/Gilberto was so smooth and enjoyable that I’m tempted to track down a physical copy
