By JazzTimes
Resonance Records has announced the Feb. 19 release of Getz/Gilberto ’76, a collection of previously unreleased live recordings featuring Brazilian singer, guitarist and composer João Gilberto, saxophonist Stan Getz and Getz’s rhythm section of pianist Joanne Brackeen, bassist Clint Houston and drummer Billy Hart. The recording was made May 11-16, 1976, at the San Francisco club Keystone Korner.
A companion album, the Stan Getz Quartet’s Moments in Time, featuring the same personnel minus Gilberto, will be released at the same time.
The Getz/Gilberto ’76 release comes over 50 years after the release of Gilberto and Getz’s million-selling, Grammy-winning album Getz/Gilberto (1964), and its sequel Getz/Gilberto #2 (1966, both on Verve Records). The 1976 Keystone engagement represents one of few times the duo reunited after its initial collaboration in 1962. States a press release, “According to the club’s founder and owner Todd Barkan, this engagement was João Gilberto’s first public performance after a four-year hiatus.”
Getz/Gilberto ’76 is available as a deluxe CD and limited-edition 12'-inch, 33-1/3 rpm LP mastered by engineer Bernie Grundman and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Record Technology Incorporated (R.T.I.) in a limited edition of 2,000 copies. It is also available digitally for pre-sale on iTunes with three “instant gratification” tracks upon purchase: “É Preciso Perdoar,” “Chega de Saudade” and “Morena Boca de Ouro.”
Moments in Time was also recorded at the Keystone Korner, the same week as Getz/Gilberto ’76.
