Joao Gilberto

Originally released in 1959, Chega de Saudade is kind of like the book of Genesis of bossa nova.

It influenced so many musicians both at home (Caetano Veloso, Jorge Ben) and abroad (Stan Getz, Herbie Mann, Charlie Byrd) that almost every song on this album (from ''Desafinado'' to ''Bim Bom'') is now a standard. Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, who display their songwriting talents here, would soon go on win a Grammy for ''The Girl From Ipanema''.
