	Astrud Gilberto - Official Homepage
		Astrud Gilberto, known as "The Girl from Ipanema" and often referred to as "The Queen of Bossa-Nova", is an artist with roots firmly planted in Brazilian music.
		Astrud was first introduced to the World at large in 1964 through "The Girl From Ipanema", the Grammy-winning recording with Stan Getz and her then-husband João Gilberto (the father of Bossa Nova).
		Astrud's work as songwriter has gradually but surely developed from a "side thing" in the beginning of her career, to an integral part of it, in the later years.

		The album was largely produced by Mike Peden and Yak Bondy, who have produced tracks for S Club 7 and Lucie Silvas to name but a few.

	Amazon.com: The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album: Music: Astrud Gilberto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Astrud Gilberto found fame with her contributions to 1964's classic Getz/Gilberto album, which spawned an instant standard in the hit single "The Girl from Ipanema." From there, she went on to fill many LPs with her winningly hesitant, longing vocal style; this disc collects 25 tracks cut between 1965 and 1970 for Verve.
		Astrud Gilberto's great claim to immortality is her contribution to the 'Getz/Gilberto' album that for one brief moment made bossa nova, that sad melodic jazz from scorching Brazil, the coolest music in the world.
		That album was in effect a mariage of four voices - the plangent, supple saxophone of Stan Getz; the song-writing and piano-playing melancholy of Antonio Carlos Jobim; the guitar-strumming and mysterious mumbling of Joao Gilberto; and his wife Astrud.

		When Astrud Gilberto turned 60 in 2000, the Brazilian singer was still best known for her early-'60s bossa nova recordings with Stan Getz.
		Two years after her underrated album on CTI Records, Gilberto's follow-up is her first attempt to be taken seriously, not as a singer -- she had that covered -- but as a songwriter, at a time when simply singing standards was seen as lacking.
		With her tenure on Verve drawing to a close, Astrud Gilberto steps further away from her bossa nova roots with I Haven't Got Anything Better to Do, an intimate, nocturnal set closer in scope and spirit to the Baroque pop of Burt Bacharach, whose "Trains and Boats and Planes" is beautifully rendered here.

	Astrud Gilberto - Now - DVD-Audio review on AudioRevolution.com
		Astrud Gilberto is more known for being the Girl From Ipanema than the wife of Brazilian jazz great Joao Gilberto.
		This album, Now, is a work later in Gilberto’s career, at a point after she was dropped by Verve in the early 1970s.
		Astrud Gilberto’s Now is a fun performance, but it is not spectacular-sounding or wonderfully mixed for the 5.1 format.

		to Astrud Gilberto collectors as well as admirers who want to have at least one of her c.d.'s in their collection, if that is the case than this one should be added to your collection.
		Astrud feels very privileged to have been able not only to assemble such an outstanding group of musicians, but also to collaborate on a duet with John Margolis (on the track, "In Spite of the Odds"), a musician, vocalist, songwriter whose work she greatly admires.
		Astrud Gilberto had recorded some songs with bossa/jazz combos and a number of songs with string orchestras, but LOOK TO THE RAINBOW placed her in the setting of a big band for the first time.

	ASTRUD GILBERTO - SEPTEMBER 17, 1969
		Heavily accented, hesitantly breathy and child-like, Astrud Gilberto's vocals never fail to seduce me. As I play her records (particularly this one), I obsessively pour over the album photos, falling for the sweet faced girl with the adorable voice.
		Astrud's spontaneously recorded vocals almost single-handedly sparked the bossa nova craze, allowing her to launch a career that would span several decades and yield a nice handful of influential Sixties pop records.
		Over-saturated by a glut of lousy bossa nova albums recorded by has-beens and hacks, the American public had lost interest in Brazilian artists by the late '60s, turning their backs on such major talents as Antonio Carlos Jobim, and unfairly ignoring Astrud's incredibly great offering.

	CTI Jazz: Buy Jazz Photos, Jazz Music, Jazz CDs and DVDs - produced by Creed Taylor.
		The honey-toned chanteuse on the surprise Brazilian crossover hit "The Girl from Ipanema," Astrud Gilberto parlayed her previously unscheduled appearance (and professional singing debut) on the song into a lengthy career that resulted in nearly a dozen albums for Verve and a successful performing career that lasted into the '90s.
		Though she never returned to the pop charts in America, Verve proved to be quite understanding for Astrud Gilberto's career, pairing her with ace arranger Gil Evans for 1966's Look to the Rainbow and Brazilian organist/arranger Walter Wanderley for the dreamy A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness, released later that year.
		In 1971, she released a lone album for CTI (with Stanley Turrentine) but was mostly forgotten in the US until 1984, when "Girl from Ipanema" re-charted in Britain on the tails of a neo-bossa craze.

	Astrud Gilberto : The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Astrud Gilberto has never been properly anthologized by Verve Records; although they've released a number of compilations over the years, none of them have been definitive, and most of them have been rather skimpy.
		It omits "The Girl From Ipanema," her biggest hit, includes all 11 tracks from her 1965 release The Astrud Gilberto Album, and adds on a selection of singles and album tracks recorded from 1965 to 1970 with no particular logic.
		However, the Brazilian songbird's appealingly plain voice, with its deliberately wobbly pitch (the "desafinado" style celebrated in Antonio Carlos Jobim's song of that title), total lack of vibrato, and deadpan phrasing, is a delight for those attuned to its charms.

		Though her appearance at the studio to record "The Girl From Ipanema" was due only to her husband João, one of the most famed Brazilian artists of the century, Gilberto's singular, quavery tone and undisguised naïveté propelled the song into the charts and influenced a variety of sources in worldwide pop music.
		Though she never returned to the pop charts in America, Verve proved to be quite understanding for Astrud Gilberto's career, pairing her with ace arranger Gil Evans for 1966's Look to the Rainbow and Brazilian organist/arranger Walter Wanderley for the dreamy A Certain Smile, a Certain Sadness, released later that year.

	Ink 19 :: Astrud Gilberto
		Astrud Gilberto sang "The Girl From Ipanema" back in 1963 on her first trip to America, and the next year it became a Top Ten hit.
		Her own singing career was launched, with her child-woman voice full of Brazilian cool; she might not have hit every note she was supposed to hit, but it was on purpose, and she sounded and looked hot, so it was okay.
		She remained a star in Brazil for 15 years, but she never really attained the same level of fame up here as she did with that one iconic song.

		Astrud Gilberto may be the most romantic singer Brazil has ever yielded up.
		As other reviewers have noted, the simplicity and clarity of Gilberto's voice provide a degree of warmth and tenderness in her music not otherwise noted within the works of her contemporaries.
		This compilation offers a fair representation of Astrud Gilberto's early recordings, although anyone who has had the privilege of seeing her in concert (I have had that honor twice) knows that she has since spread her musical talents in other directions.

	Astrud Gilberto - Verve Records
		To a Brazilian mother and German father, Astrud Gilberto was born in Bahia, still Brazil's most Africanized state.
		An ardent advocate of animal rights and world peace, Gilberto composes and arranges some of the music she performs nowadays.
		The voice of Astrud Gilberto - guileless, believable, never cold-bloodedly professional - sometimes becomes a French horn, sometimes a tenderly bowed cello, and other times a clarinet or a breathy bamboo flute.

		Gilberto's voice is so cool and collected that it's hard to believe that she basically walked into the studio and cut these and her other classic tracks without any formal training.
		That is a bold statement to make, that Astrud's versio nis the ebst ever of "Fly Me To The Moon" however almost every other singer who does it, is copying Sinatra's version, and Sinatra's is snappy.
		The whole album flows with romance tenderness, and it gently swings.

	Now by Astrud Gilberto CD
		The world's first exposure to Astrud Gilberto's melodious, cool yet sensuous voice was on the 1963 Stan Getz/Joao Gilberto international hit "The Girl From Ipanema," a song that was instrumental in popularizing Brazilian bossa nova on an international scale.
		Gilberto's influence (she alternates singing in Portuguese and English) can be discerned in the divergent styles of Stereolab, Everything but the Girl, and Sade.
		NOW was originally issued in 1972, after she'd left Verve Records--here, she incorporates influences of funk (a la Isaac Hayes) and the then-burgeoning style of jazz fusion into her languid, dreamy style.
