About This Item
180-Gram Limited Edition - *AllMusic. Born in Juazeiro, Bahia, Brazil, singer/ song writer João Gilberto (1931-2019) was a true legend of bossa nova. While Antônio Carlos Jobim set the standard for the creation of bossa nova in the mid-'50s (with songs like InchThe Girl From IpanemaInch and InchDesafinadoInch), it was Gilberto who brilliantly reimagined (and, arguably, defined) the genre. This LP includes the complete contents of his LP Brazil's Brilliant João Gilberto, which received a five-star on AllMusic, plus several of his greatest hits from his early years. 23 TRACKS - 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL
