Joao Gilberto - Brazil's Brilliant

Limited edition 180g vinyl audiophile pressing, the complete album + 3 bonus tracks.Jo�o Gilberto (1931-2019) was a true legend of bossa nova. It is often stated that Ant�nio Carlos Jobim (who composed most of the songs here) set the standard for the creation of bossa nova in the mid-'50s with songs like The Girl From Ipanema and Desafinado. However, it was Jo�o Gilberto who brilliantly reimagined and defined the genre.This was Jo�o Gilberto's second LP and includes such outstanding hits as 'Samba de Uma Nota So' ('One Note Samba'), 'Outra Vez, 'So em Teus Bra�os', 'Medita��o', and the unforgettable 'Corcovado'.
