A protégé of the legendary Antonio Carlos Jobim, Brazilian singer and guitarist Ana Caram stands as one of the most luminous and expressive figures in modern bossa nova. Recorded in January 1995 shortly after Jobim's passing, Bossa Nova serves as a poignant, heartbeat-close homage to the maestro's enduring legacy. While her previous Chesky release explored Jobim's lesser-known gems, this album embraces his most beloved standards-delivering classics like "The Girl From Ipanema," "Agua de Beber," "O Pato," and "Chega de Saudade" with a light, intoxicating elegance that avoids cliché at every turn. Caram's delicate vocal phrasing and rhythmic acoustic guitar work bring a deeply personal, effortlessly chic sophistication to each arrangement. From her smooth, French-café style take on "The Girl From Ipanema" to the fun, upbeat rhythm of "O Pato," every track flows with a relaxed, understated grace. Engineered with Chesky's hallmark minimalist recording techniques, the session avoids artificial compression or over-processing, placing Caram directly in your room with incredible spatial intimacy, natural tonal balance, and lush acoustic detail. Bossa Nova will be reissued on 180g One-step Pressing Vinyl LP with new liner notes as part of the Chesky Original Masters series.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
LOCAL PICK UP POLICY:
Due to a large amount of unclaimed local pick ups over the years we have updated our policy. Any orders that remain unclaimed after 90 days from the initial "ready for pick up" notification will be considered abandoned and returned to our system without refund. If you are having issues picking up your order within this time frame please contact us via orders@1234gorecords.com. If you need your order shipped we can easily do so for an added shipping fee.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
