Weekend Song – Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto
September 27, 2008
One of my essential albums is Getz/Gilberto. It’s an classic and it never lets me down. It’s so smooth I’d bet it could probably fit in my ear sideways.
Life is tough, you know that. We are judged by what we create but time will always move as fast as we do. That’s a hard thing to balance, but we are ultimately defined by how we show up for challenges.
And all the while this song makes life easy.
Sometimes, let the rain just fall.
Listen: Desafinado

Desafinado is ‘Untuned’.
Boy , is it.
this album is on my short list of essentials, too. pure magic.
And mine. If push came to shove I’d choose Paul Desmond over Stan Getz, but it’s close.
There are so many. Paul Desmond is great, another one of the cool saxophonists. Like Jonny Hodges or Ben Webster. Damn, life’s too short.
I think I have owned three copies of this album in my life, on LP and cassette.
Leave a comment. Play nice. I will turn this blog around.
