“Number 4 in my Music To Seduce Women With series, how are we doing so far fellas? .......................................... Stan Getz could produce some of the sexiest tones ever to ooze out of a tenor saxophone. And nowhere else was his brass dripping more sweetly than in this seminal 1963 collaboration with celebrated guitarist João Gilberto. It just might be the quintessential background album, and it’s one that subtly suggests you understand what’s cool. Exotic lyrics combine with quietly strummed guitars, a twinkling piano, and, of course, Getz’s gorgeous saxophone, all culminating in a sax solo that is renowned as one of the best in jazz history. A truly effective seduction song isn’t loud or catchy — it’s restrained and simple. These are two words that perfectly describe this beautiful jazz classic.”
