Originally released in 1967, Astrud Gilberto's BEACH SAMBA is one of the Brazilian songstress' classic albums. The bossa nova craze-ignited in 1963, by Gilberto herself, with her lovely, artless vocal on Stan Getz's "The Girl from Ipanema"-was winding down. The album sees Gilberto stretching beyond her usual collection of bossa novas and sambas, though the title track and "Nao Bate O Corocao" are two of her best, into relaxed, swinging versions of such pop standards as "Misty Roses" and "My Foolish Heart."

An unusual inclusion is a cover of The Lovin' Spoonful's "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice," sung by Gilberto as a duet with her eight-year-old son. Way cooler than it sounds and like the album as a whole, it's perfectly charming and delightful.

Personnel includes: Astrud Gilberto (vocals); Barry Galbraith, Marcos Valle (guitars); Arnold Eidus, Gene Orloff (violin); Harold Coletta, Richard Dickler (viola); Seymour Barab, Maurice Bialkin (cello); Phil Bodner, Bill Hammond (woodwinds); Bernie Glow, James Nottingham (trumpet); Wayne Andre, Warren Covington (trombone); Ray Alonge, James Buffington (French horn); John Barber (tuba); George Devens (vibraphone); Benny Aronov (piano, harpsichord); Warren Bernhardt (piano); Jule Ruggiro (bass); Grady Tate (drums). Additional personnel: Walter Wanderley Trio.

Recorded in New York between September 20, 1966 and June 30, 1967. Includes liner notes by Stan Levine and Neil Tesser.
