Recorded in March 1963 at A&R Studios, New York, NY, USA. The multi-Grammy winning album Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz, João Gilberto and Astrud Gilberto was one of the best-selling albums of all time and marked a peak of the bossa nova wave.

Cut directly from a completely unedited 1:1 copy of the original tape provided by Universal Music, one has never been closer to the artist, the original sound waves, and music history.
