Product Description A „relationship” of saxophonist Stan Getz (real name Stanley Gayetzky, 1927-1991) with guitarist Joao Gilberto (Joao Gilberto Prado Pereira de Oliveira, born 1931) was quite fruitful but at the same time quite checkered. Getz's experience with Latin music - samba and bossa-nova started in 1962, when he made a hit record Jazz Samba. The title piece was his variation on One Note Samba by Antonio Carlos Jobim. For the track coming from this record, called Deafinado Getz received Grammy Award in 1963. As a follow-up saxophonist made another record called Jazz Samba Encore!. Still same year Getz recorded the album Getz/Gilberto together with Tom Jobim, Joao Gilberto and his wife Astrud Gilberto. He received another Grammy for The Girl From Ipanema and the album won two Grammys (Best Album and Best Single). A live album, Getz/Gilberto Vol.2 followed, as did Getz Au Go Go a live recording at the Cafe Au Go Go. Successful cooperation between Getz and Gilberto was broken by affair of the first one with the second one's wife - Astrud Gilberto. In fact Joao divorced Astrud shortly after that to marry love of his live in 1965. Stan Getz died of cancer in 1991. His body was cremated and the ashes scattered at sea, off the coast of Malibu, California.
Containing music written for and performed by the flute-like music instrument widely known in the Japan and the Asia Pacific Region as the Shakuhachi, this album is a brilliant demonstration of the amazing work of Shakuhachi Master John Kaizan Neptune.
