João Gilberto – Brazil’s Brilliant

Description

Limited edition 180g vinyl audiophile pressing, the complete album + 3 bonus tracks. Jo?o Gilberto (1931-2019) was a true legend of bossa nova. It is often stated that Ant?nio Carlos Jobim (who composed most of the songs here) set the standard for the creation of bossa nova in the mid-’50s with songs like “The Girl From Ipanema” and “Desafinado”. However, it was Jo?o Gilberto who brilliantly reimagined and defined the genre. This was Jo?o Gilberto’s second LP and includes such outstanding hits as ‘Samba de Uma Nota So’ (‘One Note Samba’), ‘Outra Vez, ‘So em Teus Bra?os’, ‘Medita??o’, and the unforgettable ‘Corcovado‘.
