It has been thirteen years Joao Gilberto’ last studio CD, “Live in Montreux” which won Array MTV Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Joao Gilberto. On the Hungary charts, superstar Joao Gilberto’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. I love this album so much, i’ve been crazy about Joao Gilberto ever.
After few listenings I started to like Menino do Rio more and more. I find myself hearing bits of Retrato em branco e preto here and there throughout my waking hours. Pra que discutir com Madame - another great track from the Live in Montreux album. Opening track Garota de Ipanema shows the best of Joao Gilberto. Adeus America is astounding. Estate is the albums biggest surprise. Morena boca de ouro (4:41) a good melody. A felicidade rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. Preconceito is another favourite of mine. In Sandalia de prata Joao Gilberto spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Rosa Morena is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. Aquarela do Brasil as a highlight of Live in Montreux contains a ton of cool melodies.
