Close-knit to the point of telepathy, they were about to give one of their last concerts. The mythical partnership of Stan Getz on saxophone and Gary Burton on the vibraphone was coming to an end, but were they even aware that this was one of their last acts? Accompanying them was an exceptional rhythm section with Chuck Israels on bass and the great Roy Haynes on drums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the first notes of “On Green Dolphin Street” the audience was won over by the rapport of empathy within the quartet. The programme was beautifully compiled to alternate flamboyant standards conducive to the most exuberant solos (“The Blues Walk”), heady ballads where Getz demonstrated his splendid sound and lyrical singing (“The Shadow of Your Smile” and “Once Upon a Summertime”), and compositions by Gary Burton where the vibraphonist displayed his subtle harmonic universe (“The Singing Song” and “Edelweiss”).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuddenly, a high-spirited version of “O Grande Amor”, the standard by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes, sounded out to prefigure the distinctly bossa nova vibe of the second part of the concert: Astrud Gilberto was to take the stage. With the opening bars of “Samba de Uma Nota Só” the flavours of Brazil were palpable. Gilberto’s voice, fragile yet mischievous against the background of the iridescent vibraphone and wrapped within the airy countermelody of the saxophone, recreated all the freshness and innocence of the legendary recording of 1964. As if they were performing together for the first time, Gilberto and Getz played a subtle game of seduction to create music that was sensual, light and melancholic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe colourful sequence of bossa nova standards – “Você e Eu” by Gilberto Gil, “Corcovado” and “The Girl from Ipanema” by Jobim – intermingled with numbers that were jazzier in both form and spirit – “Jive Hoot” by Bob Brookmeyer, “The Shadow of Your Smile” and “It Might as Well Be Spring” – was simply irresistible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the final notes of “Jive Hoot”, Stan Getz smiled and bid farewell to the audience with a simple “Auf Wiedersehen”. The recording of this dream-like performance lay untouched for nearly sixty years, until we unearthed the original tapes in the archives of Berlin Radio. This album is the very first edition of a memorable live concert, entirely restored using Phoenix Mastering®.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e|STARTGOLD|Stan Getz, tenor saxophone\u003cbr\u003eGary Burton, vibraphone\u003cbr\u003eChuck Israels, bass\u003cbr\u003eRoy Haynes, drums\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*Astrud Gilberto, vocals|ENDGOLD|\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"subdescription\"\u003eRecorded at the Berlin Philharmonie, Berliner Jazztage\u003cbr\u003e4.XI.1966\u003cbr\u003eSTEREO ℗ 1966 RBB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"subdescription\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRestored by ℗ \u0026amp; © 2026 THE LOST RECORDINGS from the original analog tapes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"subdescription\"\u003eRef.:TLR-2604038VS\u003cbr\u003e33rpm Lacquer-cuts: Kevin Gray\u003cbr\u003e200g Double Ultimate Record®\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLimited Edition\u003c\/span\u003e: 4000 copies\u003cbr\u003ePhotos: © 1965 GAB Archive\/Redferns and © 1966 Jan Persson\u003cbr\u003eBox and Tip-on Gatefold printed in Italy\u003cbr\u003ePressed by Simon Garcia, Marciac, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tracklist_indications_single_product\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*A 16-bit album download card is included with the vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Lost Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54589352345946,"sku":"TLR-2604038VS","price":118.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0422\/4211\/3698\/files\/GetzGilberto-Fondgris-1.jpg?v=1786792859","url":"https:\/\/thelostrecordings.store\/en\/products\/stan-getz-astrud-gilberto-live-at-the-berlin-jazz-festival-1966-sapphire-edition","provider":"The Lost Recordings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
