| 1. |  | Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz Price: $13.99 Customer Review:  I discovered Astrud Gilberto quite by accident when rummaging thru my sister's extensive jazz album collection... Really wanted to hear her defintive interpretations of 'Corcovado' (after being captivated by EBTG's brilliant drum 'n bass remake) and the seminal standard 'The Girl From Ipanema',... |

| 2. |  | Astrud Gilberto's Finest Hour by Astrud Gilberto Price: $10.99 Customer Review: Astrud Gilberto was the Brazilian Dionysian lark per excellence and the embodiment of the sensuality, lyricism and tropical alluring of the best known Latin American music all over the world. Despite the terrible circumstances that made she left us before the used, she found in Antonio Carlos Jobim... |

| 3. |  | Catch Me If You Can by John Williams Customer Review:  The way people have been talking about this score, from the reviews to the liner notes, you'd think it was a stylistic counterpart to "Checkmate." In truth, there is minimal jazz or even pseudo-jazz content in this score. It is mostly orchestral with occasional jazzy touches, such as vibes or sax,... |

| 5. |  | The Diva Series by Astrud Gilberto Price: $11.98 Customer Review: The Diva CD Series gives us a great album of songs performed by Astrud Gilberto. Astrud's voice was singularly beautiful; although at first blush she merely sang flat and didn't have a wide vocal range, in actuality Astrud could deliver a song right alongside the best of them! Astrud sang with all... |

| 6. |  | The Shadow of Your Smile by Astrud Gilberto Price: $14.98 Customer Review:  This is a charming album. The sound is dated, yes, but the remastered edition is luscious. The instrumental and vocal timbres are very warm and sweet. The only caveat I have is that the vocals are not as solid as The Astrud Gilberto Album. That one sounds very confident throughout. Here, some... |

| 7. |  | Jazz 'Round Midnight: Astrud Gilberto by Astrud Gilberto Price: $11.98 Customer Review: If you like Nancy Wilson, Opie Bellas and Pink Martini; then Astrud is for you. My Brazillian friends introduced me to this artist. her voice is like melted butter. Highly recommended! |

| 8. |  | Compact Jazz: Astrud Gilberto by Astrud Gilberto Price: $10.99 Customer Review: I find it astounding that her own husband frowned on her singing "The Girl from Ipanema" on the Getz/Gilberto thing. Astrud is not a one hit wonder. I have yet to find a song from her that is even average. Thank you Joao for giving in and Astrud for giving us Bebel. |

| 9. |  | 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Astrud Gilberto by Astrud Gilberto Customer Review: Romantic, jazzy, relaxing. What more could you ask for? Astrud's voice has romantic, lilting quality that is very unique. To my ear, there are a few spots where she sounds a little off-key, but for me it just adds to her charm. I could listen to this CD for hours on end - and I have. I wish I knew... |

| 10. |  | The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album by Astrud Gilberto Price: $14.98 Customer Review: As a long time Astrud Gilberto fan, I was extremely pleased with this collection. Astrud's voice is beautiful, sweet and haunting. The overall sound and orchestration is beautiful (I do not understand the other reviewers complaints regarding the sound quality and orchestration). I highly recommend... |

| 11. |  | Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto Price: $18.98 Customer Review: I got "Beach Samba" and "September 17, 1969" for Christmas 2007. Of the two, I like "Beach Samba" better. Released in 1967, it perfectly captures the breeziness of that year's music. "Beach Samba" is fun, jazzy, up-tempo, and well produced. Astrud's vocals are as charming as ever, and it doesn't... |

| 12. |  | Verve Jazz Masters 9 by Astrud Gilberto Price: $10.99 Customer Review: There are some beautiful, romantic, popular tracks on this CD. I agree with one of the reviewers - if you are new to her material there are better recordings available. The tracks on this CD have been selected from different LP's. Some of the tracks present themselves very well. The microphone... |

| 15. |  | Getz Au Go Go by The New Stan Getz Quartet Price: $10.99 Customer Review: CD was new and in perfect condition. I purchased the LP album for this in 1965 and having the CD means I will be able to preserve the recording indefinitely. The performance on the album was recorded live in a night club in 1964 which accounts for its imperfections, but that is beyond what can be... |

| 16. |  | Getz Au Go Go by Stan Getz with Astrud Gilberto Price: $14.98 Customer Review: What's not to like? Stan Getz, Astrud, Gary Burton, all beautifully remastered (2007). Perhaps the rumors around a studio recording are understandable since in fact the new notes on the CD indicate that tracks 1,2,3 and 8 were actually recorded at Carnegie Hall! No wonder it's more difficult to hear... |

| 17. |  | Talkin' Verve: Roots Of Acid Jazz by Astrud Gilberto Customer Review: If you're attuned to her approach to jazz as a bossa nova-lite/ pop-hybrid, no Astrud Gilberto CD can be all bad. These songs are all available elsewhere(and since the CD booklet here has nothing much to offer, you might want to stick with the actual albums), but her version of "Holiday" really IS... |

| 18. |  | Astrud for Lovers by Astrud Gilberto Price: $11.98 Customer Review: Astrud For Lovers is a fine installment in this "For Lovers" CD series. The quality of the sound is great and I love that artwork. Astrud is truly in excellent form throughout on this CD; and just one listen proves it! This is fine music for lovers only. "Only Trust Your Heart" starts the CD... |

| 20. |  | The Very Best of Astrud Gilberto by Astrud Gilberto Price: $61.99 Customer Review: This is a nice set of Astrud's Verve years and it seems (to my ears)that some of the songs are alternate versions so it made it worth the purchase after having most of this materiel already in one form or another. The liners notes are alas in,(I think) Japanese with no English traslation. Very nice... |
