Sup Y'all,
Today is the perfect precursor to spring.. The sun is out, clouds in the sky, the warm feeling in the air. It's flipin beautiful!!!! What better companion to a day like this than something equally beautiful. A great piece of music. The album that so aptly fits this occasion would have to be Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto, and Antonio Carlos Jobim's classic album Getz, Gilberto, and Jobim. This is a beautifully haunting, lyrically ambidextrous album that provides all classics and no throw aways. Starting with the standard ballad to unrequited love, Girl from Ipanema, which was so immortally sung by Joao Gilberto's wife Astraud, and my personal favorite... Corcavado a song which Astraud also lends her vocal talents . There are too many great songs to name. But I had to pay this album Homage. Great music, Great singing Impeccable guitar playing... Not to mention the whole album is sung in Portuguese, I found myself learning some Portuguese. Bonus! So check this one out and get acquainted. This is a audiophiles dream.
