This live follow-up to the surprise blockbuster Getz/Gilberto was inevitable. Interestingly, the original LP release of the October 1964 Carnegie Hall concert focused on separate sets by Getz's quartet (featuring vibist Gary Burton) and Gilberto's trio: each is as meditative and sweetly melancholic as you'd expect. Five bonus tracks bring together Getz, Gilberto, and the latter's wife, Astrud Gilberto, in revisiting their collaboration. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews

too much audience participation
Ever since purchasing Jazz Samba I've been on a Bossa Nova quest. This is one I'll be trading in mainly becuase of the editing of the recording. Too much emphasis was placed in giving the feeling that you are there in the audience. In fact the applause and the overly modulated announcer are so loud and distracting it takes you away from the enjoyment of the music. This would be a good album if you just cut out all those wasted moments and just had the music.

Not bad for a sequel
A previous review provided some interesting biographical information, but was a bit off-base regarding the musical contents. Getz and the Gilbertos do play together on 5 of the album's 15 songs, including beautiful versions of Corcovado and The Girl from Ipanema.

Getz/Gilberto is better. But the individual sets here from the two masters have their quiet charms. And Astrud's singing rarely has been heard to better effect. Definitely worth picking up.

Stan, Astrud and Joao go their seperate ways
According to "Stan Getz - a life in Jazz", Stan had broken up with Astrud after an affair that wrecked her marriage to Joao Gilberto.

None of them was speaking to the others. Each got up on stage with a different backup band, mostly they don't play together. Like oil and water. The result is mediocre. A major disappointment after the perfect synchrony and intimacy of "Getz/Gilberto". For completists.

"Jazz Samba 2" is a much better followup.
