Editorial Review:

Album Description:
This Astrud Gilberto collection draws on some of the most beautiful music ever recorded - just think of the sun-kissed beaches of Brazil, with the sultry sounds of bossa nova and samba of the 1960's - when men looked sharp in black suits and ties, the women always wore Chanel dresses with 'Jackie O' sunglasses, and International airports were the place to be seen!

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Quiet moon, quiet stars and quietly irresistible vocals from Astrud Gilberto
Astrud Gilberto made a name for herself when she fortuitously sang on the 1964 US Top 5 smash "The Girl From Ipanema". This association with jazz and bossa nova godfathers brought her a lot of flak from critics quick to dismiss her "artless singing style" and "limited vocal range".

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brilliant!
This album just oozes style; I've always been a fan of Astrud Gilberto and this CD collects together her finest moments. The Brazilian star sounds as fresh as ever, leaving her indelible mark on a host of classics tracks. Instatntly recognisable numbers such as The Girl from Ipanema, Fly Me To The Moon, Crickets Sing for Anamaria and Call Me are just some of the highlights on this wonderful album brimming with bossa nova brilliance.

Perfect listening to see out the last few weeks of summer, the album has a real timeless feel to it and confirms Astrud Gilberto's status as a genuine musical treasure.
