First heard his music way back in the 80s on the 'Getz/Gilberto' album (although I also remember hearing Girl From Ipanema on the radio much earlier), which I bought on a used LP. If you get a chance to listen, I highly recommend it, along his self-titled "White Album".

I used to listen to the Getz/Gilberto album a long time ago too from my Dads collection... He did some lovely music...

RIP João Gilberto
