Which album won Album of the Year at the 1965 Grammy Awards?

Getz/Gilberto won Album of the Year at the 1965 Grammy Awards.

The album was a collaboration between American saxophonist Stan Getz and Brazilian guitarist and composer João Gilberto, with Antônio Carlos Jobim as a principal songwriter and arranger. Released in 1964, it helped bring bossa nova to a huge international audience.

Its best-known track, “The Girl from Ipanema,” featured Astrud Gilberto on vocals and became one of the era’s defining recordings. At the 1965 ceremony, the album also helped earn wins for Best Jazz Instrumental Album and Record of the Year for “The Girl from Ipanema.”

The title is sometimes confused with the performers’ individual names because the record is credited jointly. It is also distinct from later bossa nova albums by João Gilberto and Stan Getz. The Grammy victory reflected both the album’s artistic quality and the growing influence of Brazilian music on American popular music.
