I have this album since years ago and it has brought a lot of joy to my friends and I.
I still remember the morning in Santa Monica, California, when driving, I heard on npr that Stan Getz just died in Malibu; I had no idea who he is but the second that I heard “The girl from ipanema”, I knew…
I stopped my car at the first music store and bought a full set (4 cassettes!) of his Bossa Nova music and the rest is history!
My family and friends are all devotees of Bossa Nova: Stan Getz, João Gilberto and Antonio Jobim.
I saw Astrud Gilberto (who became a singer because they didn’t have anybody else) at the Blue note in NY way later… and sinatra and Jobim came to me years after that fateful morning in 1991…
