Customer Reviews IF ONLY I CAN GIVE THIS ALBUM A SIX STARS!!! THIS IS JOAO IN HIS FINEST HOUR --- THE VOICE, THE GUITAR, THE PHRASINGS. I OWNED MOST OF JOAO'S ALBUMS [SOME OUT THERE WERE SIMPLY RECYCLED] BUT THIS MONTREUX ALBUM REALLY STANDS OUT. IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED BOSSA NOVA BEFORE GIVE THIS ONE A SHOT, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!. Bossa Nova Doesn't Get Any Better Such a warm intimate sound--- perfect for a summer night with someone you love. If you're looking for a simple, beautiful record of one man and his guitar, you won't find anything better than this. Magic in one day: 1 man, 1voz, 1 violao...voila! It is History. This is one of my top 10 recordings of all time. Seeing that it is live, it is incredible. . . and absolutely All of the music recorded that wonderful day should be made available. How many artists can bring a packed audience to such heights with such gentleness and such grace? Very few. The way in which Joao so playfully gets the audience to join him in "Felicidade", and the utter soul-baring in "Estate" are two examples of what a true classic this is. Joao even makes "Garota de Ipanema" sound fresh and like the true classic it always will be. The booklet includes lyrics both Portugese (and Italian in the case of "Estate") with English translation. I could write a book, but just get this and hear Live Magic for yourself. . You can see a complete list of all Joćo Gilberto discography, or go back to the Joćo Gilberto tabs
