Following the success of Impex's critically lauded 1STEP LP release of Stan Getz's cultural touchstone, they couldn't wait to present digital aficionados with their own ultimate high-quality option: The definitive Super Audio Compact Disc/Hybrid CD! For the first time ever, hear two complete versions of Getz/Gilberto: Bernie Grundman's 1STEP analog tape master-to-DSD version and a pristine new restoration/correction from Jamie Howarth at Plangent Processes. The Plangent Process corrects anomalies and repairs physical tape damage without adversely affecting the original sonic quality! Now, you can compare the original tape and the most pristine and accurate picture of the legendary recording sessions on one disc. Few recordings better capture the breezy warmth and easy-going sophistication of Brazilian bossa nova for an American jazz audience. Fewer recordings can replicate the you-are-there presence and flawlessly intimate studio acoustics. Only Getz/Gilberto has Billboard Top 10-charting singles like "The Girl from Ipanema" and "Desafinado." Finally, Impex also includes the 1STEP's two bonus tracks on the Plangent Processed version! We know you have many choices for enjoying this timeless classic. The Impex SACD/Hybrid of Getz/Gilberto sits above the digital competition with great features and incredibly lifelike sound!
