'''''Getz/Gilberto''''' is an album by American saxophonist [[Stan Getz]] and Brazilian guitarist [[João Gilberto]], featuring pianist and composer [[Antônio Carlos Jobim]] (Tom Jobim), who also composed many of the tracks. It was released in March 1964 by [[Verve Records]]. The album features the vocals of [[Astrud Gilberto]] on two tracks, "Garota de Ipanema" ("[[The Girl from Ipanema]]") and "[[Corcovado (song)|Corcovado]]". The artwork was done by artist [[Olga Albizu]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dwek |first=Joel |date=2020-07-21 |title=BRAZIL/USA: Getz/Gilberto - Stan Getz & João Gilberto |url=https://www.200worldalbums.com/post/brazil-usa-getz-gilberto-stan-getz-jo%C3%A3o-gilberto |access-date=2023-10-25 |website=200worldalbums.com |language=en}}</ref> ''Getz/Gilberto'' is a [[jazz]] and [[bossa nova]] album and includes tracks such as "[[Desafinado]]", "Corcovado", and "Garota de Ipanema". The last received a Grammy Award for [[Grammy Award for Record of the Year|Record of the Year]] and started Astrud Gilberto's career. "Doralice" and "Para Machucar Meu Coração" strengthened Gilberto's and Jobim's respect for the tradition of pre-bossa nova [[samba]].

''Getz/Gilberto'' is considered the record that popularized bossa nova worldwide and is one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time, selling over one million copies.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Stavans |first1=Ilan |title=Latin Music: Musicians, Genres, and Themes [2 volumes] |date=July 29, 2014 |publisher=ABC-CLIO |isbn=978-0-313-34396-4 |page=296 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qE-LBAAAQBAJ&dq=getz%20gilberto%20%22million%20copies%22&pg=PA296 |access-date=March 1, 2022}}</ref> It was included in ''[[Rolling Stone]]''{{'}}s and ''[[Vibe (magazine)|Vibe]]''{{'}}s lists of best albums of all time. ''Getz/Gilberto'' was widely acclaimed by music critics, who praised Gilberto's vocals and the album's bossa nova [[Groove (music)|groove]] and [[Minimal music|minimalism]]. ''Getz/Gilberto'' received Grammy Awards for [[Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album|Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group]] and [[Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical|Best Engineered Recording - Non-Classical]]; it also became the first non-American album to win [[Grammy Award for Album of the Year|Album of the Year]], in 1965.

[[Bossa nova]] was introduced in 1958, with the song "[[Chega de Saudade]]" ("No More Blues"), sung by [[Elizeth Cardoso]] on her album ''[[Canção do Amor Demais]]''. Arranged by Jobim and Gilberto, with lyrics by [[Vinícius de Moraes]], the song received both praise and criticism for rhythmic and harmonic elements that were uncommon for samba.<ref name="bollos56">{{harvnb|Bollos|2005|p=56}}</ref> Gilberto played acoustic guitar on another track, "Outra Vez", composed by Jobim. A few months later, Gilberto recorded his first single, "Chega de Saudade"/"[[Bim-Bom]]", the latter his composition. The single helped define ''[[música popular brasileira]]''.<ref name="bollos56"/> This would lead to his debut album, ''[[Chega de Saudade (album)|Chega de Saudade]]'' (1959).

Jazz was suffering a commercial and artistic crisis due to the popularity of [[rock and roll]].<ref name="andre">{{harvnb|Scarabelot|2005|p=5}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Carlos Eduardo |last=Lima |url=http://www.monkeybuzz.com.br/artigos/11442/50-anos-de-getz-gilberto---quando-a-bossa-nova-conquistou-a-america |title=50 anos de Getz/Gilberto - Quando a Bossa Nova Conquistou a América |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303170149/http://www.monkeybuzz.com.br/artigos/11442/50-anos-de-getz-gilberto---quando-a-bossa-nova-conquistou-a-america |archive-date=March 3, 2016 |work=Monkey Buzz |date=July 25, 2014 |access-date=October 14, 2017 |language=pt}}</ref> In 1961, [[Tony Bennett]] made a trip to Brazil with bassist [[Don Payne (musician)|Don Payne]], and both became familiar with modern Brazilian popular music. Payne took home numerous Brazilian records when he returned to United States; he then showed them to his friend and neighbor [[Stan Getz]].<ref>{{harvnb|Mello|2001}}</ref> Getz was excited about the sound of bossa nova and released two albums: ''[[Jazz Samba]]'' and ''[[Big Band Bossa Nova (Stan Getz album)|Big Band Bossa Nova]]'', both in 1962. Bossa nova became so popular that the title ''Big Band Bossa Nova'' was used for three other 1962 albums: by [[Big Band Bossa Nova (Quincy Jones album)|Quincy Jones]], [[Oscar Castro-Neves]], and [[Enoch Light]].

On November 21, 1962, the first North American concert of Bossa Nova – the New Brazilian Jazz – was presented at [[Carnegie Hall]] by João Gilberto, Tom Jobim, Bonfá, [[Roberto Menescal]] and [[Sérgio Mendes]] among others.<ref name="bollos56"/> According to critic Liliana Harb Bollos,<ref name="bollos56"/> the goal of this concert was to "spread ''música popular brasileira'' in the capital of jazz".

Like João Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto has a quiet, almost whispered vocal style which would become an important influence on female vocalists in bossa nova.{{CN|date=April 2023}} On João Gilberto's first three albums—''Chega de Saudade'', ''[[O Amor, o Sorriso e a Flor]]'' (1960) and ''João Gilberto'' (1961)—the [[vibrato]] in his voice is not entirely absent as it is on ''Getz/Gilberto''.<ref>{{harvnb|Pianta|2010|p=57}}</ref>

"Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)" and "[[Vivo Sonhando]]" were composed solely by Jobim.

According to [[Ruy Castro]], Gilberto and Getz often disagreed on which was the best [[Take#Music recording|take]], leaving the choice to producer Creed Taylor.<ref name="oglobo"/> During one session, Gilberto, who did not speak English, and impatient with Getz's rhythmic style, told Antônio Carlos Jobim: "Tell this [[gringo]] he is an idiot".

[[Gene Lees]] wrote the English lyrics for "Corcovado". [[Norman Gimbel]], who wrote the English lyrics for "[[Garota de Ipanema]]", felt that the reference to "[[Ipanema beach|Ipanema]]" wouldn't mean anything to Americans<ref name="gazetadopovo"/> but Jobim insisted on keeping the reference to the beach.{{efn|Jobim himself told about the disagreement in the book ''O Cancioneiro Jobim'': "The American version made me fight much with Norman Gimbel.

Susan Noye Platt, art critic and historian, wrote about Albizu's relationship with bossa nova:

{{quote|There is a controlled and subtle sensuality to her [Albizu's] work, that speaks of hidden layers of emotion, rather than letting everything appear on the surface to be consumed. In the case of Albizu, the connection to music, and particularly bossa nova, as well as her exposure to [[Hans Hofmann]]'s ideas of "push and pull", allows for the work to exist without other reference points. The colors do indeed move like large full sounds, a connection that takes us all the way back to [[Wassily Kandinsky|Kandinsky]].<ref name="Platt"/>}}
