│BIOGRAPHY │
│ │
│The honey-toned chanteuse on the surprise Brazilian crossover hit │
│"The Girl from Ipanema," Astrud Gilberto parlayed her previously unscheduled │
│appearance (and professional singing debut) on the song into a lengthy │
│career that resulted in nearly a dozen albums for Verve and a successful │
│performing career that lasted into the '90s. Though her appearance at the │
│studio to record "Girl from Ipanema" was due only to her husband Joao, │
│one of the most famed Brazilian artists of the century, Gilberto's singular, │
│quavery tone and undisguised naivetΘ propelled the song into the charts │
│and influenced a variety of sources in worldwide pop music. │
│Born in Bahia, Gilberto moved to Rio de Janeiro at an early age. │
│She'd had no professional musical experience of any kind until 1963, │
│the year of her visit to New York with her husband, Joπo Gilberto, in a │
│recording session headed by Stan Getz. Getz had already recorded │
│several albums influenced by Brazilian rhythms, and Verve teamed him │
│with the cream of Brazilian music, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joπo Gilberto, │
│for his next album. Producer Creed Taylor wanted a few English vocals for │
│maximum crossover potential, and as it turned out, Astrud was the only │
│Brazilian present with any grasp of the language. After her husband laid │
│down his Portuguese vocals for the first verse of his and Jobim's │
│composition, "The Girl from Ipanema," Astrud provided a hesitant, │
│heavily accented second verse in English. │
│ │
│Not even credited on the resulting LP, Getz/Gilberto, Astrud finally gained │
│fame over a year later, when "The Girl from Ipanema" became a number │
│five hit in mid-1964. The album became the best-selling jazz album up to │
│that point, and made Gilberto a star across America. Before the end of │
│the year, Verve capitalized on the smash with the release of Getz Au Go Go, │
│featuring a Getz live date with Gilberto's vocals added later. Her first actual
│solo album, The Astrud Gilberto Album, was released in May 1965. │
│Though it barely missed the Top 40, the LP's blend of Brazilian classics │
│and ballad standards proving quite infectious with easy-listening audiences. │
│ │
│Though she never returned to the pop charts in America, Verve proved to be │
│quite understanding for Astrud Gilberto's career, pairing her with ace │
│arranger Gil Evans for 1966's Look to the Rainbow and Brazilian │
│organist/arranger Walter Wanderley for the dreamy A Certain Smile, │
│A Certain Sadness, released later that year. She remained a huge pop star │
│in Brazil for the rest of the 1960s and '70s, but gradually disappeared in │
│America after her final album for Verve in 1969. In 1971, she released a lone │
│album for CTI (with Stanley Turrentine) but was mostly forgotten in the US │
│until 1984, when "Girl from Ipanema" re-charted in Britain on the tails of a │
│neo-bossa craze. Gilberto gained worldwide distribution for 1987's Astrud │
│Gilberto Plus the James Last Orchestra. │
