Review
Astrud Gilberto's entry in the nicely appointed Verve Jazz Masters compilation series shows exactly why the Brazilian singer is deserving of such an accolade. In her '60s heyday, Gilberto was often derided by jazz purists for her vibrato-less "desafinado" (deliberately slightly off-pitch) singing style and deadpan, childlike voice. But the diminutive bossa nova star has since been a huge influence on dozens of jazz and pop singers.
VERVE JAZZ MASTERS is less of a greatest hits package than it is a smartly balanced retrospective of many of Gilberto's best performances. Her biggest hits, "Call Me" and "Summer Samba," are not included, and her signature tune, "The Girl From Ipanema," is only represented by a live take from a 1964 Carnegie Hall concert. The collection places equal emphasis on Gilberto's bossa nova-style interpretations of jazz standards and on her signature Portuguese-language sambas.

Reseña
La entrada de Astrud Gilberto en la bien nombrada serie de compilaciones de Verve Jazz Masters muestra exactamente por qué el cantante brasileño merece tal elogio. En su apogeo de los 60, Gilberto fue a menudo ridiculizado por los puristas del jazz por su estilo de canto desafinado y su voz infantil. Pero la diminuta estrella de la bossa nova ha sido desde entonces una gran influencia para docenas de cantantes de jazz y pop.
VERVE JAZZ MASTERS es menos un paquete de grandes éxitos que una retrospectiva elegantemente equilibrada de muchas de las mejores actuaciones de Gilberto. Sus mayores éxitos, "Call Me" y "Summer Samba", no están incluidos, y su canción favorita, "The Girl From Ipanema", sólo está representada por una toma en vivo de un concierto del Carnegie Hall de 1964. La colección pone el mismo énfasis en las interpretaciones de estilo bossa nova de Gilberto de los estándares de jazz y en sus característicos sambas en portugués.

De esta mujer estuvo todo el mundo enamorado.
ReplyDeleteA mí nunca me ha gustado el jazz vocal. Nunca. Siempre he sido hostil. Pues bien, tras trabajar en el montaje de un escenario para la TV, Astrud Gilberto vino, nos llevó aparte a nosotros, los putos obreros que no contábamos para nadie, que andábamos siempre sucios y sudados, nos invitó a café, te y magdalenas y nos facilitó entradas para que fuéramos a verla con sus familias. Hablaba varios idiomas. Su voz era tan dulce y triste hablando como cantando. Ella tendría en aquellos días cuarenta y tantos y era imposible no querer a aquella mujer. Jamás sentí antes ni después haber nacido fuera de tiempo como ante aquella menuda figura. Todos quedamos hechizados. Uno, que era un meapilas, sospecho que dejó de rezar a la virgen y comenzó a rezarle a ella. Salimos de allá como quien deja atrás al paraíso. ¡Qué mujer!
Que sepáis que hay diosas y caminan entre los mortales.
