For the very first time, all the songs composed by João Gilberto are included in the same album.
And it's the first João Gilberto Songbook ever released by any artist in the world.

A celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the release of João Gilberto’s debut album, “Chega de Saudade” (1959), which included the original recordings of “Bim Bom” and “Ho-ba-La-La”.

The artists donated their royalties to the Dizzy Gillespie Memorial Fund of Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in New Jersey, which provides crucial health care to musicians in need.
