This 1976 album by the late saxophonist Stan Getz is a reunion of sorts with
Joao Gilberto, the great Brazilian guitarist and singer, and the music of
Antonio Carlos Jobim (or Tom Jobim), along with the stylish and nonintrusive
arrangements of Oscar Carlos Neves. The trio changed the world in the early
1960s with its Getz/Gilberto albums. With Neves, they almost did it again, but
with all of the crap falling down around them in the musical climate of the
mid-70s -- fusion, disco, overblown rock, and the serious decline of jazz --
this disc was criminally overlooked at the time. Joining these four men in their
realization of modern bossa and samba are drummers Billy Hart and Grady Tate,
percussionists Airto, Ray Armando, and Ruben Bassini, bassist Steve Swallow,
pianist Albert Dailey, and Heliosoa Buarque de Hollanda singing the English
vocals as a fill-in for Astrud Gilberto -- who was not invited to join this
session and would have declined if she were. The most beautiful thing about this
recording is that Jobim -- whose song forms had reached such a degree of
sophistication that he was untouchable -- chose to write all of his lyrics in
English (songwriter Gene Lees also wrote many in English). This is something
that did not come naturally or effortlessly to Jobim, but sounds as if it did.
Jobims poetry on tracks such as Waters of March, accompanied by Getzs lushly
romantic saxophones and Gilbertos crooning nylon-string guitar, are so sensuous
they radiate heat and humidity. Elsewhere, on the Lees/Jobim co-write Double
Rainbow, Gilbertos singing carries the soft bossa into the middle of American
jazz phraseology and builds a bridge so airy and flexible it can never be
undone. There is also a barn-burning samba in Falsa Bahiana, which slips and
shimmies along the 6/8 line and sweeps itself up in couplets in the solos. In
all, this is as fine a bossa album as Getz ever recorded, standing among his
finest works, and without a doubt equals his earlier collaborations with Jobim
and Gilberto.
