After making her professional debut as the cool, breathy voice behind the historic 1964 crossover smash "The Girl From Ipanema," Brazilian chanteuse Astrud Gilberto became a major force in popularizing the bossa nova sound. Her understated yet magnetic delivery is spotlighted on this collection, which includes her signature tune, along with collaborations with Stan Getz and Antonio Carlos Jobim.
This CD is part of Verve's Diva series, dedicated to the greatest female jazz vocalists and their greatest songs. |
