Astrud Gilberto, known as “The Girl from Ipanema” and often referred to as “The Queen of Bossa-Nova”, is an artist with roots firmly planted in Brazilian music. Her music has become an interesting combination of the sensual rhythms of Brazil and American Pop and Jazz.
The Astrud Gilberto Album is her solo debut, after recording two albums with Stan Getz – Getz/Gilberto by Getz and João Gilberto, and Getz au Go Go (both 1964). Cover design by Michael Malatak, with photography by Craig Simpson.
