On This Day: Getz/Gilberto
Yep, 10-days late, I didn’t plan for this to become the definitive guide to Getz/Gilberto, maybe it isn’t but here it is. I had the audio recordings to add next week.
On March 18th, 1964, the Getz/Gilberto album was released, marking a significant moment in the history of jazz and bossa nova.

Stan Getz Ringtone
Well we are all stuck at home, and things have all of a sudden become less urgent. It’s time for a less demanding ring-tone. I’ve done this a few times before on one of my other websites, used edits from music tracks as ringtones. When my wife calls, it’s Donna Summer, I’ll leave the track to your imagination, don’t be […]
