4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a sequel, August 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Getz/Gilberto #2 (Audio CD)

A previous review provided some interesting biographical information, but was a bit off-base regarding the musical contents. Getz and the Gilbertos do play together on 5 of the album's 15 songs, including beautiful versions of Corcovado and The Girl from Ipanema.

Getz/Gilberto is better. But the individual sets here from the two masters have their quiet charms. And Astrud's singing rarely has been heard to better effect. Definitely worth picking up.

3.0 out of 5 stars too much audience participation, July 20, 2000

This review is from: Getz/Gilberto #2 (Audio CD)

Ever since purchasing Jazz Samba I've been on a Bossa Nova quest. This is one I'll be trading in mainly becuase of the editing of the recording. Too much emphasis was placed in giving the feeling that you are there in the audience. In fact the applause and the overly modulated announcer are so loud and distracting it takes you away from the enjoyment of the music. This would be a good album if you just cut out all those wasted moments and just had the music.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stan, Astrud and Joao go their seperate ways, July 29, 1998

This review is from: Getz/Gilberto #2 (Audio CD)

According to "Stan Getz - a life in Jazz", Stan had broken up with Astrud after an affair that wrecked her marriage to Joao Gilberto.

None of them was speaking to the others. Each got up on stage with a different backup band, mostly they don't play together. Like oil and water. The result is mediocre. A major disappointment after the perfect synchrony and intimacy of "Getz/Gilberto". For completists.

"Jazz Samba 2" is a much better followup.
