Even in her native Brazil, Astrud Gilberto was a virtual unknown before she interpreted the bossa nova "The Girl From Ipanema" in 1964 with her cool, breathy voice and made it a world hit. Her unobtrusive, but at the same time magically attractive performance style is the focus of this new compilation. In her own unmistakable style, she interprets not only Bossa Novas, but also pop hits of the 1960s and 70s as well as jazz standards.
