About the album (from Wikipedia):
Getz/Gilberto is the 1964 jazz-bossa nova album by American saxophonist Stan Getz and Brazilian guitarist João Gilberto, featuring composer Antonio Carlos Jobim. Its release helped fuel the bossa nova craze in the United States and internationally. It brought together Stan Getz, who had already performed the genre on his LP Jazz Samba, João Gilberto (one of the creators of the style), and Jobim, a celebrated Brazilian composer (and also one of the main creators of the genre), who wrote most of the songs in the album. It became one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time, and turned Astrud Gilberto, who sang on the tracks “The Girl from Ipanema” and “Corcovado“, into an internationally celebrated musician. It won the 1965 Grammy Awards for Best Album of the Year, Best Jazz Instrumental Album – Individual or Group and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. “The Girl from Ipanema” also won the award for Record of the Year in 1965. This was the first time a jazz album received Album of the Year. It was the last jazz album to win the award until Herbie Hancock‘s River: The Joni Letters 43 years later, in 2008. Included in Vibe’s 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century. In 2012, Rolling Stone included it on its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album was inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. JazzTimes – “…essential for all serious jazz collections…served as proof that it is possible for music to be both artistically and commercially successful…this relatively sparse setting with the great Getz perfectly fit the music, resulting in a true gem…” The album was produced by Creed Taylor and engineered by Phil Ramone.

Gabor Bolla (tenor saxophone – Hungary)
One of the most talked about young tenor saxophonists on the scene is unboubtedly the 25 year old Hungarian Gabor Bolla that audiences at The Standard had the chance to discover last year as he was featured on several Jazz Masterworks Series projects (Herbie Hancock’s ”Takin’ Off”, Wayne Shorter ’s ”Speak No Evil” and Miles Davis’ ”’Round About Midnight”) in addition to participating in The Standard’s UNESCO International Jazz Day event, appearing with Niels Lan Doky, Ira Coleman and Jeff “Tain” Watts during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival and last but not least playing with the young piano prodigy Joey Alexander New Year’s eve at The Standard. Gabor Bolla is a recording artist on the prestigious ACT label. We are excited about his return engagement here at The Standard for our first Stan Getz tribute and Bossa Nova celebration.

Nancy Harms (vocal – USA)
She is one of the most exciting new vocalists on the New York scene and frequently appears in jazz clubs in the Big Apple such as Birdland, Smalls, Cornelia Street Café and other of the New York’s legendary jazz venues. Her latest album “Dreams In Apartments” features beautiful, fresh and innovative arrangements of classic jazz standards and has received rave reviews in the US and beyond. Her previous appearances at The Standard has featured a mesmerizing rendition of the Antonio Carlos Jobim song “Fotografia” so we when we started to plan the Getz/Gilberto jazz masterworks series project here at The Standard we immediately thought of inviting Nancy Harms to do the female lead vocal parts. www.nancyharms.com
Nancy Harms
What the press has to say about Nancy Harms:
“Now, with her new release, Dreams in Apartments, Harms takes another leap, this one farther into the realm where voice and imagination come together to define the highest art of jazz
singing”. – Andrea Canter, JAZZ POLICE
“This (Minnesota)-born jazz singer continues to grow as an artist, quixotically, by restricting her emotional and musical range: She concentrates on the tiniest, most intimate space and completely pulls you into it. She doesn’t sound anything like either Blossom Dearie or Julie London, but like those late icons, she engages the listener by seeming to put her whole soul completely forward and yet, somehow, hold something back at the same time. Her second album, “Dreams In
Apartments” is one of my most played this year, especially for her arresting interpretation of “Never Let Me Go,” a classic song that is, rare even among standards, almost impossible to be overdone. On “While We’re Young,” Ms. Harms achieves the near-impossible of making an Alec Wilder song sound optimistic. She’s the kind of singer who, after hearing her just once, you’ll never want to let her go.” – Will Friedwald, WALL STREET JOURNAL
“Harms’s voice has the power to light cigarettes and then make them smolder all night long.” –
Dave Sumner, eMUSIC
