João Gilberto is a bossa nova album by João Gilberto, originally released in Brazil as a vinyl LP in 1973. The minimal instrumentation – just Gilberto's guitar and voice, plus Sonny Carr's very sparse percussion – and the relentless beat give the album a hypnotic feel. The album's sound engineer was famous electronic music pioneer Wendy Carlos. This album is often referred to as João Gilberto's "white album", in a reference to The Beatles' White Album. It was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil as one of the 100 best Brazilian albums in history.
This release is Joao Gilberto stripped down nearly to his bare essentials – his voice, guitar and the extremely spare drumming of Sonny Carr – and he's just as mesmerizing as he's ever been on records. The whole record is about the rhythmic clashes and dovetailings of a singer and his guitar, pitched at extremely low levels of volume yet generating volumes of drive without seeming to breathe hard. Dig the insistent way in which "Falsa Baiana" and Gilberto Gil's marathon rhythm machine "Eu Vim Da Bahia" ride the waves of the bossa nova groove, or how Gilberto delivers one of the best renditions of Jobim's "Aguas de Marco" – quietly relentless and to-the-point. Three of the tracks eschew words altogether – gentle syllables and/or Gilberto's insistent guitar tell the entire story – and the final selection, "Izaura," belatedly adds a female voice (Miucha) in the left speaker. Though recorded in a New Jersey studio – the engineer, surprisingly enough, is Wendy Carlos, the electronic music pioneer of Switched-On Bach fame – this addictive release originates from PolyGram Brazil.
