★ 猶記Getz/Gilberto中那可愛的女聲嗎？正是Joao Gilberto之妻。她這張個人專輯同樣轟動一時，膾炙人口。

一九六四年當史坦．蓋茲 Stan Getz 及喬安．吉芭托 Joao Gilberto 一心想把巴西的流行音樂推向美國時，發現那首日後造成轟動的名曲  The Girl From Ipanema 需要加入英文歌詞才能成功，卻苦於Joao 不諳英文，所幸請出 Joao 的老婆艾斯特．吉芭托 Astrud Gilberto 跨刀，沒想到竟一試成功！而 Astrud 接著在 1966 年錄製的這張專輯，唱了很多英語歌曲，仍然保有他一慣慵懶的南美風格，非常動聽。

Softly, softly Astrud Gilberto’s voice captured the hearts of the American people. Before this, a handful of musicians had infected the cool jazz of the Sixties with the bossa nova virus from Brazil and set a wave of enthusiasm in motion. Together with Stan Getz, Astrud scored a super hit. And ever since then, the 'Girl from Ipanema' had a name. Astrud’s singing is neither full of vocal acrobatics nor can it be described in superlatives. Her natural voice creates a quiet, glowing atmosphere and enchants us with its simple elegance and power of expression.

Astrud Gilberto’s third album on the Verve label, "Look to the Rainbow", is considered to be her most important disc - one reason being perhaps the successful mixture of songs from both South and North America. Whatever the reason, star arranger Gil Evans’s sensitive background music reveals his great talent for pinpointing and underlining a totally unique voice. The result? Every single number on this recording is a soft, miniature work of art.
