Author: Gilberto, Astrud
Format: Best of
Release Date: 28-01-1994
Details: Amazon.ca Astrud Gilberto's voice, devoid of vibrato or any other vocal effects, has always conveyed the impression of artless innocence. The impression is reinforced when the accompaniment is provided by some of the most sophisticated jazz musicians has ever known, such as Stan Getz or Gil Evans. This compilation from her 1960s heyday draws heavily on her two best albums, the gorgeous Getz/Gilberto of 1963, (including the essential "Girl From Ipanema") which seriously challenged the Beatles for top album slot and remained in the charts for an amazing 96 weeks, and the less well-known but phenomenally accomplished Look To The Rainbow. Evans' orchestrations for this compare with his celebrated settings for Miles Davis. Outstanding tracks in an exceptionally well chosen selection include "Dindi", "The Shadow Of Your Smile" and "Aruanda". --Dave Gelly
