cheers jethro! glad you liked the album, and yes the opener is a classic.



ive been listening to joao gilberto's music a lot lately and this album didn't have a review so i though why not!



Will probably be reviewing more since i had fun doing this one!

@Jethro42 I started learning Brazilian Portuguese back in December, and it's for pleasure since Portuguese courses aren't offered at my uni. I am also starting intermediate French courses in August!

So which is it, Torontonian? A 4.0 or a 5.0?

ah gotcha haha

It would be a five if the rest was as good as "Girl from Ipanema." The rest is a nice listen, but it lacks variety and immediacy.

Stan has a good technic, his playing is warm and soothing and all, but his executions are a tad predictable. He's not that innovative in his playing. BUT his sax is really pleasant to listen to! The way he breathes into it, the vibrato, etc...

Also GFI is the best, yeah ;)

@jethro but thats what so awesome about it! he takes a nice and predictable melody and turns it into something extraordinary. Thats special imo.



@croc nah this is a classic. :D If every song was as good as GFI it wouldn't be a 5, but instead would probably be the best album ever made hands down. ;)

Fair enough, Torontonian, I'm willing to listen to the album again, to rate it and to see if I've missed something ;)

For me, listening is like going to the beach for 30 minutes.
