Jim...Its a great collection...5 stars !!! One of those dessert island disc's....

To avoid hunting down the individual disc's...just get the set...and buy it anywhere...I just use Amazon here for sample and review info....

Looks to be a great collection, Chris...but does it include the remastered versions?

I didn't see any mention of remastering in the description.

Here's the remastered version HM mentioned, as well as the follow-up CD he likes better.

If you like those, you may want to take at look at this, too. Good stuff, if you like Bossa Nova.

Yep I should have mentioned that as well. These 3 are on constant rotation for me.

Its remastered...."digitally remastered by Tom "Curly" Ruff and Dennis Drake"....from the booklet contained in the set.

(guess moe and larry didn't help...

Folks... someone please tell me, is it mono or stereo?

Although I don't think I can resist buying them even though they're mono

The recording's are stereo...done between 1962 to 1964. Creed Taylor was the producer.....Now.....go get it.

OR.... you can get the whole set by Getz.....all in one shot....I've got it both ways...

My Verve edition of the 4-disc box set arrived yesterday from Amazon UK, and Kandy and I stayed up till well past midnight listening. Excellent recordings (remasters) and music. If you're a Bossa Nova fan, this is definitely a great way to go.

Thanks for the suggestion, my friend.

Double Ugly.. you're one smart ass!

I've been searching all over the place on ebay, amazon.com, bmgmusic, half.com and the best price I can get for this boxset is $40.. I didn't check the amazon.co.uk website, apparently you can get it delivered to your door for $22!!!!

I bought the jazz samba, and Getz/Gilberto CD separately, next I have to pick up Jazz Samba Enchore, and I have to look for the other album that's the same as the 4th CD on this boxset.

Sorry, Barry. I thought I'd mentioned what I was getting and where earlier in the thread, but I see now that I didn't.

Check out Elis and Tom with Brazilian singer Elis Regina. It's a collaboration between one of Brazil's most gifted singers (Elis) and one of the creators of the Bossa Nova genre, Antonio Carlos (Tom) Jobim.

Be sure to read the reviews on Amazon and Elis' bio (both linked above)...impressive stuff.

Thanks D/U

took a listen, sounds pretty good.
There's one lady that 6moons gent said that he almost wet himself listening to during one of his reviews, can't recall which review...anybody remember that review or singer before I have to wade through all his stuff.

Keep em' comin' or PM me.

Thanks

First....an interesting story on the Bossa Nova.....

And a few cds to listen to...

Three Way Mirror.....an old fav of mine...excellent sounding cd as well.

A nice one from Flora Purim ....the Queen of Brazilian Soul .

Another good collection from Astrud Gilberto......the Ipanema girl.

Want a sweet voice....Ana Caram......

Relax....this woman plays guitar...Badi Assad......and can she play.

OK....He's not a woman, and another Chesky release...but they sound soooo good.....Luiz Bonfa......good tunes.

And....as the article mentions "the first Brazilian female singer to sell hundreds of thousands of albums on a consistent basis"...that would be the late Clara Nunes.....on EMI.

Those are a good starting points. Or....since its summer here, maybe a little summertime blues......

Happy listening....

Links are to Amazon....so you can hear the samples...

One more for DU...if you like the Getz set...another I enjoy is Joe Henderson-Double Rainbow: The Music of Antonio Carlos Jobim.....a smooth recording....

(and while your there check out his "Lush Life" cd.....great stuff...

)

Corinne Bailey Rae

She has good vocals and I do like the self-titled CD but I wish she
would team up with a good jazz band.
