Getz / Gilberto Stan Getz / João Gilberto UHQCD Audiophile edition
Getz / Gilberto
Stan Getz / João Gilberto
“Getz/Gilberto” is arguably THE bossa nova classic par excellence. And not only that: the album by Stan Getz, João and Astrud Gilberto is one of the most famous Verve albums and one of the best-selling jazz records of all time. Sometimes chance writes the most beautiful stories – as in the case of “Getz/Gilberto.” Astrud Gilberto had actually only accompanied her husband João to the recordings as an interpreter. But then Stan Getz let Astrud, even though she was not a professional singer, sing the songs “The Girl From Ipanema” and “Corcovado.”
UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. Another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied to the softer photopolymer for scratch protection. The combination results in significantly reduced reflection of laser light inside the CD and an unmatched precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with standard CD players. Musically, the result is a sound image strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes.
