Astrid's voice is magic to me, I could listen to her all day singing anything this recording is no exception.
Gilberto with Turrentine is an album by Brazilian samba and bossa nova singer Astrud Gilberto and American saxophonist Stanley Turrentine featuring performances recorded in 1971 released on the CTI label arranged by Deodato
Once upon a time, she was the wife of guitarist Joao Gilberto and became one of the most famous vocalists of the bossa nova era... Recruited as an amateur singer during one of her husband's recording sessions, Astrud Gilberto (1940-2023) intuitively projected a cosmopolitan cool that resonated with the times... Her blase, lilting vocals were featured on the legendary 1963 Stan Getz version of "The Girl From Ipanema," a song that became a global hit that popularized Brazilian music and transformed Astrud into an iconic global celebrity. She eventually emigrated to the US and went on to record numerous albums on the Verve label, performing modernist cool jazz as well as contemporary Brazilian popular music
Stanley William Turrentine (April 5, 1934 – September 12, 2000) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist and record producer. He began his career playing R&B for Earl Bostic and later soul jazz recording for the Blue Note label from 1960, touching on jazz fusion during a stint on CTI in the 1970s. He was described by critic Steve Huey as "renowned for his distinctively thick, rippling tone [and] earthy grounding in the blues." In the 1960s Turrentine was married to organist Shirley Scott, with whom he frequently recorded, and he was the younger brother of trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, with whom he also recorded.
