	Bossa nova - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The influence on bossa nova of North American jazz styles such as cool jazz is often debated by historians and fans, but a similar "cool sensibility" is apparent.
		The initial releases by Gilberto and the 1959 film Black Orpheus brought huge popularity in Brazil and elsewhere in Latin America, and this spread to North America by way of visiting American jazz musicians.
		Some of João Gilberto's earliest recordings were less than two minutes long, and some had a single lyrical verse that was simply repeated.

	João Gilberto - Biography - AOL Music
		During this time Gilberto was absorbing the rhythmic subtlety of the Brazilian pop songs of the day, while also taking in the rich sounds of swing jazz (Duke Ellington and Tommy Dorsey), as well as the light opera singing of Jeanette MacDonald.
		Gilberto was frequently late for rehearsals and performances, and in a move reminiscent of American pop star Sly Stone, would occasionally not show up at all.
		Within a few months Gilberto (who at this point had given up his prodigious marijuana consumption and was now partaking in nothing stronger than fruit juice) was the toast of Pôrto Alegre, the musician everyone wanted to see.

	João Gilberto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		João Gilberto (born João Gilberto Prado Pereira de Oliveira on June 10, 1931 in the town of Juazeiro, Bahia) is a Brazilian musician and considered one of the co-creators, with Tom Jobim (Antonio Carlos Jobim), of bossa nova.
		It was first heard on record in 1958, when João Gilberto accompanied singer Elizeth Cardoso in a recording of "Chega de Saudade", a song by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes.
		João Gilberto's first recordings were released in Brazil as two-song 78-rpm EPs, between 1951 and 1959.

	Getz/Gilberto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It brought together saxophonist Stan Getz, who had already performed the genre on his LP Jazz Samba, João Gilberto (one of the creators of the style), and Jobim, a celebrated Brazilian songwriter, who wrote most of the songs in the album.
		It became one of the best-selling jazz albums of all times, and turned singer Astrud Gilberto, who sang on the track of "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Corcovado", into an international sensation.
		An interesting tidbit about this recording is that producer Creed Taylor kept the recording in a drawer for a year before releasing it, for reasons known only to him.

	Biography - Joao Gilberto (Bio 65) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Evidently Gilberto was such charming company that his emotional carelessness and fiscal apathy was never an issue — that and he had extremely patient and generous friends.
		Within a few months Gilberto (who at this point had given up his prodigious hemp consumption and was now partaking in nothing stronger than fruit juice) was the toast of Porto Alegre, the musician everyone wanted to see.
		True to form, however, Gilberto took the road less traveled by and after the success of his debut record and the two follow-up releases, Amor, o Sorriso e a Flor (1960) and Joao Gilberto (1961) he left Brazil to settle in the United States where he lived until 1980.

	Joao Gilberto discography -- Slipcue.com Brazilian Music Guide
		Gilberto sings barely at a whisper, while his percussionist is the absolute model of restraint and economy.
		Joao's second wife, vocalist Miucha, sings on a couple of tracks, and her contributions are -- frankly -- negligible.
		Joao Gilberto is one of the stars of this charming and completely authoritative history of Brazilian popular music, which documents the rise of bossa nova, tracking the careers of Joao Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius De Moraes, Nara Leao and others in a gossipy, informal narrative that's a delight to read.

	João Gilberto: In Tokyo - PopMatters Music Review
		Peripatetic in the extreme, Gilberto's nomadic life and career remain among the most unique and influential in the annals of 20th century music.
		Gilberto's guitar playing still celebrates this graceful simplicity, with his unadorned guitar serving as both rhythmical and melodic counterpoint to his soft, almost whispery voice.
		At 73, Gilberto is becoming old man, undoubtedly a victim already to many of the universal weaknesses and infirmities of the aging.

	MARCO BESSONE - JOAO GILBERTO PAGE
		Maybe the coolest guys to ever have walked the face of the planet, guitarist and vocalist Joao Gilberto sauntered into international celebrity during the late 1950s, whispering his lyrics and slowing the samba down to match his unique style of syncopated acoustic guitar.
		Above all, Joao Gilberto was cool, embodying an ultrasuave hipness which put to shame all the U.S. beatniks and jazz cats of the time.
		Gilberto is one of the guiding lights of Brazilian pop, idolized over the years by generations of other artists such as Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil.

	Joao Gilberto
		According to the legend, it was in her bathroom that he developed his distinctive intimate singing style.
		In 1957, Gilberto interpreted Jobim's Desafinando and, in 1958, followed Bim-bam and Chega de Saudade, which marked the beginning of bossa nova.
		However, the sensation on the album was Gilberto's wife Astrud with the tune The Girl From Ipanema.

		Gilberto doesn't sound dated when he reprises his greatest hits, including "Desafinado" and "Chega de Saudade," on this intimate masterpiece of an album, whose only fault is that it is too short.
		Gilberto's acoustic guitar sets the beat and he, as in the best jazz, sings gracefully around it and against it.
		Gilberto was seen as an innovative figure in Brazil, and here, in the United States, as a conservative one, focused on melody and sweetly complex rhythms.

		Gilberto included numerous tunes by the great Antonio Carlos Jobim, including the classics Corcovado and Wave, as well as Este Seu Olhar and Meditacao (co-written by Jobim and Newton Mendonca).
		Gilberto held four sold-out concerts in Tokyo and Yokohama, Japan, in September 2003.
		The shows were recorded from the sound boards on to digital audio tapes for reference only, but Gilberto was so pleased with both the quality of the sound and his performance that he decided to release one of these landmark concerts on CD.

		In 1958, João Gilberto created a new musical language through his own voice and guitar.
		The music, called Bossa Nova, has since spread over the world and, after 45 years, it is still loved in every part of the world and by so many people, especially in Japan.
		The original recording was not made with the legitimate audio system: they just recorded his performance from the outputs of the mixing board onto the DAT just for his reference.

	Joao by Joao Gilberto : MusicOutfitter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Though JOAO features full orchestral backing, the arrangements by Clare Fischer dart in and around Gilberto's understated singing and rhythmically ingenious guitar work, never overpowering the artist or obscuring his unique vision.
		Though Gilberto tackles a tune in French ("Que Reste-T-Il de Nos Amours") and a Cole Porter classic in English ("You Do Something to Me"), even these are presented in the bossa nova style to which he has remained true throughout his career.
		The delicate beauty of Gilberto's voice, the soft-but-insistent pulse of his guitar, and the otherworldy grace of his artistic conception are as much in evidence on JOAO as they are on his legendary recordings from 30 years prior.

		Gilberto in particular was a Stan Getz fan.
		Getz, with his lyricism, the bittersweet longing in his sound, and his restrained but strong swing, was the perfect fit.
		Originally released in March 1964, this collaboration between saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist João Gilberto came at seemingly the end of the bossa nova craze Getz himself had sparked in 1962 with Jazz Samba, his release with American guitarist Charlie Byrd.

		Only Joao and a drummer are present, though then-girlfriend Miucha appears on one song.
		Joao does so little with his voice -- he just whispers something smoothly, with a very limited range.
		With jsut Joao and his guitar, each song is pensive and intimate.

		Two of the influential João Gilberto's LPs (Amoroso and Brasil) are combined on this single CD.
		The former session is pretty definitive with Gilberto interpreting four of Antonio Carlos Jobim's compositions (including "Wave" and "Triste") and four other songs (highlighted by "Besame Mucho," "Estate," and an odd 31-bar rendition of "'S Wonderful").
		The strings (arranged by Claus Ogerman) are unnecessary but Gilberto proves to be in prime form.

	Amazon.co.uk: Getz/Gilberto Vol.1: Remastered: Music: Stan Getz,Joao Gilberto,Astrud Gilberto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The disc's success is attributable to its spectacular personnel: the man who basically invented bossa nova, Antonio Carlos Jobim; the man who defined and perfected the genre, Joao Gilberto; his charmingly waifish-sounding wife, Astrud Gilberto; and American tenor saxophonist extraordinaire Stan Getz.
		Jobim plays guitar and piano; Getz provides remarkably lyrical, complementary lead lines, and Joao Gilberto plays and sings in Portuguese with the most understated, romantic, and artful vocal delivery imaginable.
		Opening track "The Girl From Ipanema", a breezy, infectious Jobim composition with vocals by both Joao and Astrud, became one of the biggest (and most recognisable) hits of the era, and the single most popular Brazilian tune in America.

	SA-CD.net - Stan Getz/Joao Gilberto: Getz Gilberto
		On "Ipanema," Astrud Gilberto's voice is all right speaker, which is very unusual and more than a bit distracting.
		I guess you have to pretend that its not really Joao Gilberto playing the guitar since the sound comes from a different place than his voice.
		It also featured the debut of sultry singer Astrud Gilberto - João's wife - on "The Girl From Ipanema" and "Corcovado." The circumstances of how a demure housewife got a chance to sing in the recording sessions are varied but as they say, the rest is history.
