Getz/Gilberto

For some, just those names "Getz Gilberto" conjures a whole era in music, when bossa and jazz first met and fell in love. Well, tonight you can travel back to that time, as Tonic (6 p.m.) takes you to the Cafe au Go Go in New York City, for a 1964 concert set by saxophonist Stan Getz and vocalist Astrud Gilberto.

The eponymous album that they released in 1965 is the only jazz recording to get a Grammy "album of the year," until last year's win by Herbie Hancock for his Joni album. And yet, legend has it that Astrud Gilberto wasn't even in the original plans, that it was Mrs. Stan Getz who thought Astrud would be a hit, so Stan complied. Other legend has it that Getz himself saw her potential. Either way, it became one of the best selling jazz recordings of all time.

Not that this has always been blissful for Heloisa Pinheiro, the original girl from Ipanema.

P.S. Yes, that's Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro. We can all say it..."Ahhh...."
