Gilberto, Astrud: The Shadow of Your Smile (Acoustic Sounds Series) LP
| Availability: | In stock |
Released by Verve Records in 1965, The Shadow of Your Smile captures Astrud Gilberto at the height of her cool, understated magic - the moment where bossa nova's breezy elegance met lush, mid-'60s studio sophistication. With beautifully tailored arrangements by Don Sebesky, Claus Ogerman, and Joao Donato, the album bathes Gilberto's iconic whisper-soft vocals in orchestral warmth and subtle Brazilian swing. A crossover favorite that climbed to No. 66 on the Billboard 200, this is Astrud in full command of her artistry, moving effortlessly between intimate torch-song moods and sunlit bossa textures.
