Customer Reviews

Why do they reissue stuff with fewer tracks?1
There are 5 tracks missing compared to the 1993 version. The entire CD is 35 minutes.

Beautiful performances5
I do not own this CD, but own the original LP release from 64. I am not familiar with any version with 5 more songs, as noted by the reviewer below me. The LP I have has the same songs as this CD.

The first few songs are performed by Stan Getz with Gary Burton on vibes. The set is solid and the performances are killer. "Here's That Rainy Day" makes the whole Getz side worthwhile. The combo's interpretation is really beautiful.

On the Gilberto side, I was pleasantly surprised to find a set without Getz at all. Just guitar, bass and drums. The group is as tight as can be and Gilberto's guitar playing really shines. I listen to this side more than the other and recommend this record as an excellent companion to the celbrated Getz/Gilberto.
