Description
39 track CD edition - 3 complete LPs on 1 CD + 3 bonus tracks - includes 20-page booklet. Singer/songwriter Joao Gilberto was a legend of bossa nova. While Antonio Carlos Jobim set the standard for the creation of bossa nova in the mid-'50s, it was Gilberto who brilliantly reimagined and, arguably, defined the genre. This CD presents all of Gilberto's master recordings from his early years, including his three initial LPs in their entirety, as well as rare tracks.
4.5 Stars AllMusic: 'Chega de Saudad' - "Joao Gilberto's debut LP, 1959's Chega de Saudade, was one of the most important bossa nova recordings, and credited by many as the album that, more than any other, launched bossa nova as a major popular music genre." (Richie Unterberger)
5 Stars AllMusic: 'O Amor, o Sorriso e a Flor' - "This vitally important record introduced Joao Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and thus, bossa nova to the United States in 1961, a year before Stan Getz scored a hit with 'Desafinado'." (Richard S. Ginell)
