Getz met with Singer-Guitarist Joāo Gilberto, Brazil's "pope of the bossa nova," and decided to cut one "true" bossa nova album. Gilberto's wife Astrud, who had never sung outside the kitchen before, was enlisted as an afterthought to sing the English lyrics to The Girl from Ipanema that Joāo sang in Portuguese.
