Getz/Gilberto 76

Tenor titan Stan Getz and bossa nova legend João Gilberto reunite in 1976 with never-before-released recordings from the famed Keystone Korner jazz club in San Francisco featuring pianist Joanne Brackeen, bassist Clint Houston and drummer Billy Hart. This deluxe CD includes a 32-pg booklet of essays by author James Gavin, bossa nova pioneer Carlos Lyra, Stan's son Steve Getz, and producers Zev Feldman and Todd Barkan, as well as previously unpublished photos from the archives of acclaimed music photographer Tom Copi. Also available as a limited edition 12 LP, Getz/Gilberto 76 is a notable follow-up to one of the bestselling jazz albums of all time, 1964's Getz/Gilberto (Verve) and includes such bossa nova favorites as Doralice, Chega de Saudade and Eu Vim da Bahia. A beautifully vibrant painting ( Equilibrium Verde ) by celebrated Puerto Rican abstract expressionist artist, Olga Albizu, graces the cover. Her paintings can also be seen on the covers of Getz/Gilberto and Getz/Gilberto #2 (1966, Verve).
