Title: Astrud's best album, no doubt.
Review: No everything-including-the-kitchen-sink arrangements. Just Gilberto's lush voice, Wanderley's ace organ playing, solid drumming by Claudio Slon and some very welcome guitar by Carlos Lyra (NOT Joo Gilberto, like the cd booklet wildly guesses), along with a very good selection of songs, make up Astrud's best album. Why is this the best one? Because of the bare bones production, the fantastic playing and the good repertoire choice. It reveals what Astrud's really all about: a great pop singer.
