O Amor, O Sirriso E A Flor (Lp/Cd)

Once upon a time João Gilberto was just a reclusive and eccentric bohemian with a guitar, then came 'Chega de Saudade,' the song that launched both bossa nova and João's career. Over the next three years (with the help of song writing masterminds Tom Jobim and Vicinius de Moraes), João revolutionized Brazilian music with the three seminal albums that have become the bibles of bossa nova: Chega de Saudade (1959), O Amor, o Sorriso e a Flor (1960) and João Gilberto (1961).
