This is the most relaxing jazz & bossa nova album i've ever heard. João Gilberto has a lovely voice and this album was also the debut of Astrud Gilberto whose voice is tender and wonderful on "The Girl From Ipanema" and "Corcovado". Getz and Gilberto play wonderfully together and Antonio Carlos Jobim plays piano tenderly and sweetly. Even though most of the songs are sung in Portuguese, which I don't speak, they still ring with such emotion for me. While listening to this I want to dance close with my beloved. Great stuff. 5/5.
Tracks I enjoyed the most: The Girl From Ipanema, Doralice, Desafinado, Corcovado, Só Danço Samba and P'ra Machucar Meu Coração.
