Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto - Getz au Go Go

This live recording from the Cafe au Go Go in Greenwich Village may be late in Getz's Bossa Nova series, but it's fantastic. The songs and performances are great, and the sound is very "you-are-there".

I'd been hunting for a good copy for a while, this came up at Darkside Records for cheap, and it's flawless. Kudos to people who took care of their old records! The future appreciates you!

Almost at the end of consuming pretty much everything ever written about #GetzGilberto and working on an FAQ to address as many of the issues I can about Astrud Gilberto's involvement in the recording and post recording period. I've got a stem for her vocal, it sounds so different alone, isolated.

Reading Maggin's book on Getz though is harrowing. What a mess that period was.

Sunlight streaming through the window, & I’m writing & #NowListening to #GetzGilberto by #StanGetz and #JoaoGilberto.

Latin #Jazz generally isn’t my thing (although I really, really enjoy #Afro by #CharlieParker - if that qualifies). However, this album has a vibe which is nigh on irresistible: great musicianship, melodic, iconic vocals & it grooves throughout.

This is the reissue by #AnalogueProductions, cut at 45 by #GeorgeMarino & it sounds incredible.

G = Getz / Gilberto
This record got plenty of use in the 80s and is in remarkably good nick considering. I can't remember where I picked this up but it definitely wasn't pinched from Chiswick library (well at least not by me!)

Effortlessly cool. #bossanovajazz at it’s very best. Unseasonal, but timeless. Never tire of this record. #NowPlaying #GetzGilberto
