Beautiful 1972 album from Astrud, and the first of her career made up predominantly of her own compositions. (She was also the producer, while Deodato contributed the arrangements. ) The sharp samba-funk of tracks like "Take It Easy My Brother Charlie," "Zigy Zigy Za" and "Gingele" showed that Gilberto was much more than a novelty, with instrumentation and arrangements on par with Brazil's much more respected songwriters of the time such as Jorge Ben. The non-Astrud composed tracks like "General Da Banda" and "Make Love To Me" aren't too shabby either. Comes in a reproduction sleeve. 10 tracks total. music label: Perception Records reviewed by CLR 05/2016. Show more
