Details
Limited Edition, 140g Black Vinyl
Originally released in 1967 on Verve, Beach Samba is a classic Astrud Gilberto album that highlights her soft, playful, and ethereal voice. With lush arrangements by Eumir Deodato and Don Sebesky, and produced by Creed Taylor, the record offers a delightful blend of Brazilian bossa nova and U.S. orchestral pop sensibilities. Notable contributors include Ron Carter, Toots Thielemans, Marcos Valle, and Claudio Slon.
Highlights include the breezy opener “Stay”, Tim Hardin’s gorgeous “Misty Roses”, and the tender duet “You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice” with Gilberto’s six-year-old son. The enchanting “Beach Samba” and the rolling rhythms of “Canoeiro” further elevate the program. The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, cementing its timeless appeal.
