ボサノヴァ、そしてジョアン・ジルベルトを知るならコレ的決定盤レコード! ボサノヴァの法王ことジョアン・ジルベルトがブラジル ODEON レーベルに残した 1ST - 3RD アルバムを 2 枚の LP に収めた作品がフランスのレーベル「MASTERS OF JAZZ」から登場。その偉大さに反し、残された作品は決して多いとは言えないジョアン・ジルベルトだが、その中でも最重要作品として知られる最初期の 3枚 + 1959 年にリリースされた稀少シングルからの音源を 3 曲収めた本作はまさにエッセンシャル・ワークスと言えるでしょう。ジョアンの美意識を反映させたようなシンプルにして洗練されたジャケットも素晴らしく、ジョアン・ファンならコンプリートしておきたくなりますね。
João Gilberto was born in 1931 in Brazil in the state of Bahia in Brazil, where he learned to play the guitar. He began his singing career on radio in Rio de Janeiro, and in 1957 he met Antonio Carlos Jobim. It was a decisive encounter, because Jobim would give him the chance to accompany Elizeth Cardoso and write songs for her.
A new spirit was taking hold in the bars and clubs of Rio, where Vinicius de Moraes, Tom Jobim, Dorival Caymmi, Elizeth Cardoso, Maysa and Baden Powell — and soon João Gilberto — were developing a new style that embraced the vibrations of a whole young generation of Brazilians. The name of this new life force was Bossa Nova, the name given to music that featured relaxed rhythms and mingled sadness with new hope. It was this newness that João incarnated right from his first album entitled Chega de saudade (released in 1959). It was an immensely successful record, and its popularity spread far beyond Brazil.
In the USA, the Bossa Nova wave touched every musician in jazz, from Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd to Quincy Jones, Herbie Mann and others including Lalo Schifrin (cf. the Masters of Jazz album Jazz Bossa Nova). The three albums that Joao Gilberto recorded between 1958 and 1962 formed the foundations of the style was later recognized throughout the world as Bossa Nova.
