Stan Getz & João Gilberto "Corcovado" (Quiet Nights) (1964)

[richardmbowman]

I first heard this as a small child when my father constantly played this album. Oh, and what an album it is. One of the greats. Jobim, Getz and the Gilbertos! How could it not be great? Corcovado, The Girl From Ipanema, So Danco Samba,.... Oh how lovely.

What an awful edit at 2:55 , but every record that I have heard of this rendition, has this flaw..

Meu Deus,como brasileiro me sinto envergonhado ao ver  somente comentários em inglês...Os americanos mostram que realmente entendem de música ao admirar esse fantástico interprete...Inigualável,genia­l e extremamente original...João Gilberto é uma lenda viva brasileira.

I FUCKING love this whole album and everything to do with Antonio, Joao, Astrud, and Stan. they are so great. I wish I could find a video of Stan performing this live. There is nothing on YouTube. Not anyone performing it (well) live. No one follows the original song. How annoying. I want to hear someone play the last few notes.

@mediamanny53 well I assumed that u understood that Drew Barrymore likes or used 2 say "It's Magical" during interviews.....and that is why I wrote it....is that simple but I guess it was lost on you.....but thanks 4 taking time 2 write

Regina Belle does a beautiful rendition of this song. But, have to say, this rendition is beautiful as well. Very relaxing:)
