Additional Information
| Comments | 1STEP Process 180g 45rpm Double LP Pressed on VR900-Supreme Vinyl! Cut Using Original Analog Masters by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering! Strictly Limited To 7,500 Numbered Pressings! There have been more than 40 U.S. releases (and hundreds more worldwide) of Stan Getz’s cultural touchstone album and for good reason: few recordings better capture the breezy warmth and easy-going sophistication of Brazilian bossa nova for an American jazz audience. Fewer recordings can replicate the you-are-there presence and flawlessly tight studio acoustics. Only Getz/Gilberto has Billboard Top-10-charting singles like “The Girl from Ipanema.” When Impex Records jumps into this densely-populated fray with our own production, we need to bring maximum value and prestige to it. Challenge accepted. We worked directly with Stan’s wife Monica Getz and their son Nicolaus to create the most authentic, best-presented Getz/Gilberto ever. Exclusive to Impex’s 1STEP Getz/Gilberto includes an insightful new interview/essay by Charles Granata featuring Monica Getz’s reminiscences of the making of this record, the subsequent cultural phenomenon, and Stan’s battles with some pretty heavy demons. Also unique to this release are two bonus tracks: an alternate mono 7” mix of “The Girl from Ipanema” (without the added echo, thank you very much) and a live recording of “Corcovado” from Carnegie Hall. Finally, the large-format, 36-page booklet features dozens of rare photos, the original album notes, and a fascinating personal remembrance from Monica Getz herself, celebrating her late husband’s work and an inside look at Stan’s family life while making the record! Using the original analog master tapes and no computers at all, Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering sought to keep the sense of space and tone on the master tape intact without unnecessary embellishment. Impex 1STEPs get you closer to the source, not the ideal. We know you have many choices when it comes to enjoying this singular album. The Impex 1STEP of Getz/Gilberto cuts above all other releases with added-value content that takes you deeper into Stan Getz’ life and process in a way never previously possible. This one’s for the books: preorder one for your shelf now! Features - The only release of this fundamental jazz classic crafted with the full participation of the Getz family, including never-before-seen photos and notes from Monica and Nick Getz - Exclusive new interview essay about Getz’ life and the recording of the album by noted producer and historian Charles L.
