The Astrud Gilberto Album - Astrud Gilberto

Recorded in the wake of her global breakthrough, Astrud Gilberto's solo debut proves her understated vocal aesthetic was a deliberate, sophisticated stylistic choice. Supported by Antonio Carlos Jobim's delicate guitar accompaniment and Marty Paich's light orchestral charts, Gilberto navigates intricate chromatic melodies on Agua de Beber and Once I Loved with cool precision and effortless, breezy charm.
