There were five albums Bossa Nova albums that Stan Getz recorded for Verve within a short amount of time. Which one is your favorite, or, how would you rank them in order? The poll can cover your favorite, but rankings and opinions are welcome.
Note that I have excluded the Getz/Gilberto #2 album. it is a live gig at Carnegie Hall, and aside from the bonus track on one of the CD releases, Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto do not even appear together on the record. Getz's album Getz au Go Go is also omitted from the poll, even though Astrud Gilberto appears on it. It is usually not considered a part of the "core five" of albums.
Albums are listed in release order, but note that Stan Getz with Laurindo Almeida was recorded two days after the sessions for Getz/Gilberto, but Verve and Creed Taylor sat on that album for a bit allegedly so the sales would not draw from each other.
