Yet we've all heard \"The Girl from Ipanema\" as background music in a thousand anodyne settings, from cocktail parties to telephone hold music. So how did \u003ci\u003eGetz\/Gilberto \u003c\/i\u003ebecome \u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e Brazilian album known around the world, crossing generational and demographic divides'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bryan McCann traces the history and making of \u003ci\u003eGetz\/Gilberto \u003c\/i\u003eas a musical collaboration between leading figure of bossa nova Jo Eo Gilberto and Philadelphia-born and New York-raised cool jazz artist Stan Getz. McCann also reveals the contributions of the less-understood participants (Astrud Gilberto's unrehearsed, English-language vocals; Creed Taylor's immaculate production; Olga Albizu's arresting, abstract-expressionist cover art) to show how a perfect balance of talents led to not just a great album, but a global pop sensation. And he explains how \u003ci\u003eGetz\/Gilberto\u003c\/i\u003e emerged from the context of Bossa Nova Rio de Janeiro, the brief period when the subtle harmonies and aching melodies of bossa nova seemed to distill the spirit of a modernizing, sensuous city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e33 1\/3 Global\u003c\/b\u003e, a series related to but independent from \u003cb\u003e33 1\/3\u003c\/b\u003e, takes the format of the original series of short, music-based books and brings the focus to music throughout the world. With initial volumes focusing on Japanese and Brazilian music, the series will also include volumes on the popular music of Australia\/Oceania, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and more.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46619419050142,"sku":"UBD-9781501323959","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781501323959.jpg?v=1773899039","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781501323959","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
