Albums First Released in 1964

The British Invasion changed pop in 1964, while bossa nova crossed into the mainstream and jazz musicians pushed further from convention. Standout albums from 1964 include Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz and João Gilberto, Folk Singer by Muddy Waters, The Times They Are A-Changin' by Bob Dylan and Out to Lunch! by Eric Dolphy.

International exchange was easy to hear in 1964: Brazilian songs, American jazz, British rock and folk protest records all reached broader audiences. Polished pop and experimental jazz moved forward at the same time.

Our Pick of the Year: Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz and João Gilberto

Getz/Gilberto brought bossa nova to a much larger international audience without losing its quiet pulse. Stan Getz's tenor saxophone sits beside João Gilberto's guitar and voice, with Antonio Carlos Jobim at the piano and Astrud Gilberto singing The Girl from Ipanema. The restraint of the performances remains the album's main strength.
