Joao Gilberto - The Boss Of The Bossa Nova

The complete album - 23 classic hits - 180g virgin vinyl pressing.

Born in Juazeiro, Bahia, Brazil, singer/songwriter Joao Gilberto (1931-2019) was a true legend of bossa nova. While Antonio Carlos Jobim set the standard for the creation of bossa nova in the mid-'50s with songs like 'The Girl from Ipanema' and 'Desafinado'), it was Gilberto who brilliantly reimagined, and arguably, defined the genre.

This LP includes the complete contents of Gilberto's LP 'Brazil's Brilliant Joao Gilberto', which received a five-star rating on AllMusic, plus several of his greatest hits from his early years, including classic versions of 'Corcovado', 'Samba de Uma Nota So', 'Meditacao', 'Manha de Carnaval', 'Insensatez', and 'Desafinado', among many others.
