Getz Au Go Go ZEN272 and pianist Mal WaldronRecorded in 1964 during two concerts in the venerable Greenwich Village venue, the Caf Au Go Go, two months after Astrud Gilberto's "Girl From Ipanema" became a Top Five pop single. However, the focus of these sets moved away from the Brazilian flavored fare, bringing Gilberto into the realm of a decidedly more North American style. The band features a young Gary Burton (vibraphone), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Gene Cherico (bass), and Joe Hunt (drums).
