ASTRUD GILBERTO
Leonburg 1988 [no label, 1CD]
ZDF Jazz Club. Stadthalle, Leonberg, Germany; April 24, 1988. Very good audio (ripped from TV broadcast).
Brazilian samba and bossa nova singer Astrud Gilberto became popular in the 1960s after her performance of the song “The Girl from Ipanema”. She married João Gilberto in 1959 and had a son, Marcello Gilberto. She has another son from a second marriage, Gregory Lasorsa. Later she began a relationship with her husband’s musical collaborator, American jazz saxophone player Stan Getz.. She emigrated to the United States in 1963, residing in the US from that time. Astrud and João divorced in the mid-1960s. Although she did not officially retire, Gilberto announced in 2002 that she was taking “indefinite time off” from public performances. - wikipedia
