This vitally important record introduced <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/joao-gilberto-mn0000785283">Joao Gilberto</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/antonio-carlos-jobim-mn0000781837">Antonio Carlos Jobim</a> and thus, bossa nova to the United States in 1961, a year before <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/stan-getz-mn0000742899">Stan Getz</a> scored a hit with "Desafinado." Twelve of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/gilbertos-mn0000785283">Gilberto's</a> more than three-dozen bossa nova recordings for EMI-Odeon in Brazil were included, as per the record label practices of the time -- and having been issued on Capitol's international Capitol of the World series, it was not too easy to find. Yet here were some of the earliest examples of the fusion between samba and cool jazz, the rhythmic impulse coming from <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/gilbertos-mn0000785283">Gilberto's</a> guitar style and the melodies written for his articulate, intimate voice. <br>
