Product Information

João Gilberto - now in his eighty-first year - remains something of a perplexing enigma. A reluctant star of a musical genre he helped pioneer, the bossa nova singer / guitarist has steadfastly rejected the limelight for fifty years. Even today he continues to refuse interview requests and is renowned for walking off stage mid-performance if something causes him displeasure. Gilbertos music however is unimpeachable and as a musician he nothing short of a genius. This two disc compilation comprises João Gilbertos seminal and profoundly influential first three albums - Chega De Saudade (1959), O Amor, O Sorriso E A Flor (1960), and João Gilberto (1961) in full, and in doing so chronicles a key early phase in the evolution of bossa nova music. Appended to these tracks are two rare non-album bonus cuts Manha De Carnival and a medley comprising O Nosso Amor and A Felicidade - only previously released on an EP in 1959.

This style, which Gilberto introduced in 1957, created a revolution in the musical circles of Rio's Zona Sul, and young guitarists have sought to imitate it ever since, and even today the sound of bossa nova remains enormously fashionable amongst the coolest cats around.
