Getz/Gilberto
Stan Getz

A welcome change of pace for our list so far. This was some of the easiest listening we have had so far. I felt like the music was going to tell me to sit down and not work so hard during my first listen on the job. The easy nature does make some parts of the album bleed into each other without much to differentiate the tracks. But I would still say there are highlights, particularly any of the tracks including Astrud Gilberto's singing alongside the main male vocalist. I am not sure how to aptly describe it, but everyone here feels like they are giving the appropriate level of effort to this if it makes sense. It's more of a quiet confidence that the album exudes, with all of the individuals involved getting a track where I feel they really shine. This album really reminded me that I should probably make a Jazz/Bossa Nova playlist Highlights Everything (Particularly The Girl from Ipanema, both versions. Corcovado. Vovo Sonhando and So Danco Samba)
