| | Astrud Gilberto Beach Samba CD Astrud Gilberto Discography of CDs
Recorded in New York between September 20, 1966 and June 30, 1967. Includes liner notes by Stan Levine and Neil Tesser.
Bonus tracks 13-17 originally released on the Verve LP A CERTAIN SMILE A CERTAIN SADNESS (V6-8673).
Originally released in 1967, Astrud Gilberto's BEACH SAMBA is one of the Brazilian songstress' classic albums. The bossa nova craze--ignited in 1963, by Gilberto herself, with her lovely, artless vocal on Stan Getz's "The Girl from Ipanema"--was winding down. The album sees Gilberto stretching beyond her usual collection of bossa novas and sambas, though the title track and "Nao Bate O Corocao" are two of her best, into relaxed, swinging versions of such pop standards as "Misty Roses" and "My Foolish Heart."
Perhaps the oddest inclusion is a cover of The Lovin' Spoonful's "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice," sung by Gilberto as a duet with her eight-year-old son, which is better than you might expect. Like the album as a whole, it's perfectly charming and delightful. Peculiarly, the CD ends with five tracks from Gilberto's classic 1966 album with the Walter Wanderley Trio, A CERTAIN SMILE, A CERTAIN SADNESS.

Many of Astrud Gilberto's later albums focus on bossa nova interpretations of jazz standards and pop songs, but 1967's LOOK TO THE RAINBOW consists primarily of Portuguese-language sambas and cariocas, many from the pen of the great Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim. Gilberto's version of Jobim's "Bim Bom" is the definitive interpretation of this much-recorded song. Other highlights include "Berimbau," the title track, and the melancholy ...
