Review: Astrud never sounded better--BRAVO, ASTRUD GILBERTO !!!:The Diva CD Series gives us a great album of songs performed by Astrud Gilberto. Astrud's voice was singularly beautiful; although at first blush she merely sang flat and didn't have a wide vocal range, in actuality Astrud c... |

 | Look to the Rainbow [Read More ...]
Review: Not her best album, but still highly enjoyable:Astrud's voice is best kept to an intimate setting, and for a few songs here that is realized, but too much of "Rainbow" is more on the brassy side, which doesn't suit Astrud. Still, "I Will Wait For You" gets it's best reading here,... |

Review: A Fun Album:I got "Beach Samba" and "September 17, 1969" for Christmas 2007. Of the two, I like "Beach Samba" better. Released in 1967, it perfectly captures the breeziness of that year's music. "Beach Samba" is fun, jazzy, up-tempo, and well produced. Astrud's vocals are as char... |

Review: The Deodato Show, Special Guests: Gilberto and Turrentine:This album is not what I was expecting, but it is mostly well done. Deodato did the arrangements and conducts throughout. This is really HIS album, more than Astrud's. Astrud is absent on two songs. (One of those -- pure i... |
