As her first solo LP, it had to answer a real question: whether the softly spoken voice that stood out on \u003cem\u003eGetz\/Gilberto\u003c\/em\u003e could hold an album of its own. The answer is yes, and in a way that feels quietly assured rather than showy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the record endure is how well the setting plays to Gilberto’s strengths. The material draws heavily on Brazilian songbook staples, with Antônio Carlos Jobim again central to the sound, while arranger Marty Paich gives the sessions a luminous orchestral glow. Bud Shank’s flute, João Donato’s piano and Jobim’s guitar are all used with real tact, framing Gilberto’s intimate phrasing instead of crowding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat balance comes through especially clearly on “Dindi” and “Agua de Beber,” where her understated delivery feels less fragile than focused. Rather than trying to overpower these songs, Gilberto lets their melodic elegance do the work, which is a big part of why this debut still works so well. For anyone drawn to the softer, more conversational side of 1960s Brazilian jazz-pop, this is one of the key early Astrud Gilberto records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003ePaich's strings positively coated the album with radiance.\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/the-astrud-gilberto-album-mw0000462680\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAllMusic.com\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/astrud-gilberto-vinyl-records\"\u003eAstrud Gilberto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Verve Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_europe\"\u003eEurope\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bossa-nova\"\u003eBossa Nova\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/easy-listening\"\u003eEasy Listening\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Astrud+Gilberto+Once+I+Loved\"\u003eOnce I Loved\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Astrud+Gilberto+Agua+De+Beber\"\u003eAgua De Beber\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Astrud+Gilberto+Meditation\"\u003eMeditation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Astrud+Gilberto+And+Roses+And+Roses\"\u003eAnd Roses And Roses\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Astrud+Gilberto+O+Morro+(Nao+Tem+Vez)\"\u003eO Morro (Nao Tem Vez)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA6 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Astrud+Gilberto+How+Insensitive\"\u003eHow Insensitive\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Astrud+Gilberto+Dindi\"\u003eDindi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Astrud+Gilberto+Photograph\"\u003ePhotograph\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Astrud+Gilberto+Dreamer\"\u003eDreamer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Astrud+Gilberto+So+Finha+De+Ser+Com+Voce\"\u003eSo Finha De Ser Com Voce\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Astrud+Gilberto+All+That's+Left+Is+To+Say+Goodbye\"\u003eAll That'S Left Is To Say Goodbye\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Verve Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44522252697665,"sku":"5368994","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/61VgF6lsNL.jpg?v=1788623723","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/astrud-gilberto-the-astrud-gilberto-album-106828","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
