Jazz Samba

It was good, but the automated playlist that started afterwards was even better.

I don't mind Bossa Nova when you add vocals to it. But this just seemed like something you would hear at a high class cocktail party and, like the canapes, instantly forgettable.

Been a while since I got a solid jazz album. This makes me nostalgic for a time I never knew; I wasn't even born yet.

Great jazz album. Fun and engaging to experience.

Важко ставити оцінку. З одного боку Стен Гетц це класика і його дуже кайфово слухати влітку, з іншого боку його музика - особливо тут - трохи занадто романтична, як на мене.

Really nice stuff, gave it a few listens while working, reading, playing a game.

é bom? é, mas é os gringo robano tudo na cara dura fio que isso que doideira
vo dar 4 estrelas mas falta br nessa porra aí hein to de olho

All vibes. My very first album on this list was Getz/Gilberto, and I hated every second. I just went back for a relisten, and that's still true.
This album manages to expand the idea and the feeling, but actually makes it work.

The last bossa nova album I listened to as part of this project made me doubt whether I liked this genre. Until then, I thought I did. Now I know it was because of the albums I was listening to up until then. I'm quite sure that it might have been because of Stan Getz, as I really liked this album. It won't be one of my top favourites, but I can listen to it again and again. 4/5

I feel like I enjoyed this way too much. Big 3!

I defy anyone to listen to this without moving along with it. It's like bathing in a bath of chill. Fantastic playing. Definitely not "background" music - anything can be background music if you're not listening to it!
But still great to have on in the background.
Marvelous

Lovely.

Notable is the fact that this record is about the music itself: 'Desafinado' (Out of Tune), 'Samba Dees Days,' 'Samba Triste' (Sad Samba), 'Samba De Uma Nota So' (One Note Samba), samba being the Afro-Brazilian rhythms that comprise their music. Otherwise, it's about a duck ('O Pato'), luxury ('E Luxo So'), and one of the 26 states of Brazil ('Bahia'). Albums that are known for popularizing a foreign music are less than comfortably a quality export of that music, but Getz, here with Charlie Byrd, appears to have a clean record in this regard, and the musicianship, especially Keter Betts on double bass, is masterful enuf, and the rhythms infectious enuf, to have me coming back. Well done, white guys.

It’s jazz. Nothing special.

"genres: jazz, samba"

yeah makes sense

Very enjoyable album, although I think it might be more suitable on a balmy summer evening, rather than a chilly spring morning! Not as good as Getz/Gilbreto, but still very impressive musicianship.

This album does a good job of being danceable jazz. Solid background music. The saxophone and guitar work are both pretty good. Favorite songs were Samba Dees Days, O Pato, and Bahia.

This is nice if culturally exploitative.

Decent album, some good tracks but others are like elevator music.

Some light fun jazz. Nothing that really stood out and grabbed me.
