Originally released in 1961 as João Gilberto, this historic album is one of the great cornerstones of bossa nova. Accompanied by Tom Jobim (who wrote such standards as "Garota de Ipanema" and "Desafinado") and organist Walter Wanderley (best known for his smooth Hammond playing and the 1966 hit "Summer Samba"), Gilberto plays songs like "Samba da minha terra" and "O amôr em paz", both of which (along with most of the songs on this album) would soon become standards of the genre.
