The menthol-cool brazilian style of bossa nova met American jazz here, as saxman Getz teamed up with two Brazilian legends, guitarist-singer Joao Gilberto and pianist-songwriter Antonio Carlos Jobim. Gilberto's wife, Astrud, became a star herself with a sensual guest vocal on "The Girl From Ipanema."
