GETZ/GILBERTO

'''Getz/Gilberto''', is an album released by the American Stan Getz and the Brazilian João Gilberto, featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim, in 1964.
Its release created a bossa nova craze in the United States, and subsequently internationally. 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 (and also one of the main creators of the genre), 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.
It won the 1964 Grammy Awards for Best Album of the Year, Best Jazz Instrumental Album - Individual or Group and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. "The Girl from Ipanema" also won the award for Best Record of the Year.
