Product Description:

Solo performer: Joao Gilberto (vocals, guitar).

Recorded live at the Montreaux Festival on July 18, 1985.

Anyone who has heard the landmark GETZ/GILBERTO sessions knows that bossa nova icon Joao Gilberto works wonderfully with a full band. This concert album, however, recorded live at the 1985 Montreux Jazz Festival, reveals how amazing the Brazilian singer/guitarist can sound without any accompaniment. Employing only his nearly whispered vocals and delicate six-string acoustic playing, Gilberto mesmerizes an initially rowdy crowd with this set of 13 bright, breezy tunes.

While he performs a few classics, namely the genre-defining songs "Garota De Ipanema" (AKA "The Girl from Ipanema") and "Aquarela Do Brasil" (AKA "Brazil"), Gilberto also offers up less-renowned material such as Caetano Veloso's gentle "Menino Do Rio" and the easy-going "Estate," which features the artist singing in Italian rather than his native Portuguese. Essential for any devoted Gilberto fan, LIVE IN MONTREUX is a remarkable example of gorgeous on-stage minimalism, and serves as an excellent companion piece to LIVE IN TOKYO, which was recorded almost 20 years later.
