It's a classic (/cliche, depending on how you look at it), but I love the Getz/Gilberto album so much.

I really have a soft spot for Bossa Nova---maybe I should learn a bit of Portuguese, so I can actually understand the lyrics.

Please let me know if you have any more recs for similar albums (not too "loud"/"busy" though, I need to be able to handle it with my long covid head).

Have a lovely (not so silent) Sunday!

There are multiple recordings of Stan Getz and Astrid Gilberto performing ‘It Might As Well Be Spring.” I haven’t found a studio recording (that uses this intro, but maybe a TV or radio appearance has it, perhaps more than one, using the opening motif based on this birds song.

This is the birb. A white throated Sparrow. I never can remember what bird. Tough search. I just heard it, identified it with the Merlin Bird ID app from Cornell.

I post to remember. #sparrow #Getz #Gilberto #Spring.

#GreatAlbums1960s - #StanGetz & João Gilberto – Getz/ Gilberto (1964). Saxophonist Stan Getz and Brazilian guitarist Joao Gilberto added minimalist piano by Antonio Carlos Jobim and guest vocals by Astrud Gilberto on this LP, codifying the bossa nova style for all time. Grammy-winner “The Girl from Ipanema” and smooth stunner “Corcovado” defined 60s cool in a Mad Men universe. The craze caught on and even Sinatra caught the bossa-nova bug.

João Gilberto – Live in Tokio

»João Gilberto (1931-2019) ist einer der herausragenden Vertreter der brasilianischen Musik und gilt als Vater des Bossa Nova. Das Konzert 2006 in Tokio ist das einzig autorisierte Live-Video der Bossa Nova-Legende«

»"João Gilberto Live in Tokyo" wurde auf Vorschlag des Künstlers während seiner dritten Japan-Tournee am 8. und 9. November 2006 in der 5.000 Zuschauer fassenden Tokyo International Forum Hall A von seinem getreuen japanischen Team mitgeschnitten. Zwölf Jahre lang bearbeitete die Crew 21 der 43 Songs, die er an diesen beiden Tagen präsentiert hatte. Darunter befinden sich Hits wie "Garota de Ipanema", "Chega de Saudade", "Desafinado" und "Águas de Março" sowie kostbare Ersteinspielungen wie "Pica-pau. Das Ergebnis wurde im Mai 2019, zwei Monate vor seinem Tod am 6. Juli, als sein einziges autorisiertes Live-Video auf Blu-ray veröffentlicht.«
