 | Beach Samba [Read More ...]
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... |
 | The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album [Read More ...]

 | Compact Jazz: Astrud Gilberto [Read More ...]
Now I hear where Bebel gets it:I find it astounding that her own husband frowned on her singing "The Girl from Ipanema" on the Getz/Gilberto thing. Astrud is not a one hit wonder. I have yet to find a song from her that is even average. Thank you Joao for giving in and Astrud for giving us Bebel. |

Review: Cover version crooner? Yes. But she's a classy one...:If you're attuned to her approach to jazz as a bossa nova-lite/ pop-hybrid, no Astrud Gilberto CD can be all bad. These songs are all available elsewhere(and since the CD booklet here has nothing much to offer, you might want ... |
