    “Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)”

    I just acquired a six disc Stan Getz Bossa Nova Box set, and it’s so relaxing to listen to, and perfect for cafes.  I’m thinking about doing several posts just on Getz and Gilberto.  Just a little bit of background info since not everyone is familiar: Stan Getz was an incredibly famous sax player in the sixties.  Astrud Gilberto, famed for her vocals on “Girl from Ipanema,” sang on a recording for the first time on this album, which also featured Joao Gilberto, her husband, as Getz’s primary collaborator.
