One Of The Biggest-Selling Jazz albums of all time, not to mention Bossa Nova's finest moment, Getz/Gilberto trumped Jazz samba by bringing two of Bossa Nova's greatest innovators - guitarist/singer João Gilberto and composer/pianist Antonio Carlos Jobim - to New York to record with Stan Getz. The results were magic. Ever since Jazz Samba, the Jazz marketplace had been flooded with Bossa Nova albums, and the overexposure was beginning to make the music seem like a fad. Getz/Gilberto made Bossa Nova a permanent part of the Jazz landscape not just with its unassailable beauty,but with one of the biggest smash hit singles in Jazz history.
