Great Women Of Song: Astrud Gilberto (Vinyl LP)

FORMAT
For many of us, there is no more recognisable voice in Brazilian music than the eminently listenable coo of Astrud Gilberto. This definitive compilation, part of a series highlighting the women whose voices helped Verve become a household name in jazz, features - of course - Girl From Ipanema, as well as notable songs of the era such as The Shadow Of Your Smile, Summer Samba, and Fly Me To The Moon, but also a number of the hip-swinging bossa nova tunes she helped popularise. The dinner party is saved, the perfect soundtrack has arrived! - Flying Out

After making her professional debut as the cool, breathy voice behind the historic 1964 crossover smash The Girl from Ipanema, Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto became a major force in popularizing the bossa nova sound.

Her understated yet magnetic delivery is spotlighted on this collection, showcasing her instantly-recognizable approach to songs drawn from a variety of sources—Brazil, pop hits and standards.
