(Bossa Nova/Brazilian Jazz) Joao Gilberto - Joao Gilberto - 1973, FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

This is Joao Gilberto - Joao Gilberto (1973), for Polydor. One of the most difficult things I face when introducing Bossa Nova to new friends is to explain why Joao Gilberto is considered a genius. I know how hard it is to understand Joao Gilberto as a whole. Luiz Harding has providing us with some "basics", which is the second and third Joao Gilberto albums released in 1960 and 1961. This MASTERPIECE was recorded ten years after these two releases (if you agree the albums recorded with Stan Getz for Verve are not Joao Gilberto solo LPs) and it seems that a century has passed; Joao Gilberto is at his peak, taking to studio only his violao and a reduced percussion set. Joao Gilberto renditions of these ten songs are such like heaven on earth; take this album as something very special that will be with you for the rest of your life. I love this album and I'm now with a blend of two contradictory feelings, the happiness of showing to my friends at Rutracker.org and the disappointment of knowing that it is out of print again.
