5.0 out of 5 stars the best Astrud you could find..., May 23, 2001

This album is my favorite of Astrud's, the songs she does in portuguese are magical. I don't mind the English ones on this album, easier on the ears than some others I've heard. I like Astrud's voice, if you've never heard her, definately listen to a track sample before buying her cds, she's got an unusual voice. I would recommend this over any other Astrud solo album, both for music quality and song selection. If you're looking for something comparable to a Getz/Gilberto, this is not it. But if you're looking for sultry vocals over a light bossa-nova background, check this out, its really rather charming.

5.0 out of 5 stars An album that captures absolute 'felicidade', April 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Look to the Rainbow (Audio CD)

The first time I heard this album, I was absolutely hooked! The combination of Astrud Gilberto's soft, alluring voice and the masterful orchestrations of the late Gil Evans is altogether amazing. It seems impossible that such lush, soaring harmonies in the brass section could possibly enhance the intimacy of Astrud's voice, but here, the impossible is accomplished. I highly recommend this album!

Such a beautiful voice and well-done light jazz-bossa nova arrangements.Fans of Stereolab and Tortoise take note.
