If there is any album that can be thought of as a 'genre defining',
this one is. It is also probably the best-known and most popular bossa
nova record of all times. Inspired by great album 'Jazz Samba' by Stan
Getz and Charlie Byrd, João and Tom joined Stan Getz on March18
-19, 1963 in USA, to create the history with this album. All songs are
great, arrangements are what most people think bossa nova should sound
and it contains probably the best of all times bossa nova sax solos by
Stan Getz on Prá Machucar Meu Coração and O
Grande Amor. Singing in English, a new star was also raised: Astrud
Gilberto, by then just a housewife and the first song that she ever recorded
would later become all the
time best known bossa nova evergreen: Garota de Ipanema - The Girl
From Ipanema. This is album for EVERY Brazilian music fan.
