Lots of flats, sharps, scales, tempo changes.....her voice is truly an instrument that is part of the group...she is one of the best jazz singers ever.......May Astrud rest in peace....
It is a pitty and sad that she could never be a little more self confident at all. But on the other hand it is her brand. She is wonderful, sweet and lovely with her kind of singin...R.I.P. Astrud
It was the way it was when I was a lad. Pure talented musicianship from all. Beatles, though Martin used a bit of fancy stuff, were just using their own talent. They and other great artists proved that you need natural talent to convince people of your craft. It was just beautiful raw music. That's all I ever had...a basic acoustic going through a mic, with tad of reverb, not too much, and a bit tad of reverb on my vocals. That's all we had...just the basics. These top artists made total magic out of the basics to begin with. Astrud was no different. Beautiful raw talent.
She has such a soft and effortless style of singing. Nothing is forced; it just flows like clear water in a stream. And the way she moves between Portuguese and English so smoothly. It is just so lovely.
She is stunning. Also, whoever recorded this really knew what they were doing, you couldn't ask for a better sound. Even all the new technology we have now, recordings don't get any better than this.
The audio quality IS wonderful. Too bad the video quality is so poor. Not just the fuzzy 1962 TV recording, but the squashed aspect ratio that makes her look too short and round.
This recording has captured Astrud in the prime of her youth, when her voice was the perkiest, and the musicians backing her are excellent. This is such a rare treasure !
There are so many fine and insightful comments here about this unique woman and her unique style. She seems almost like an "ordinary" unaffected woman who has just stepped up to the microphone and her fine voice and phrasing emerges. No "over-performing". Just lets her voice and talent speak for themselves.
@@pacz8114 It's an African-American cultural degradation thing. It didn't used to be like this even for them (and in the context of jazz, especially for them).
Featuring the legendary drummer Dom Um Romão! He toured a lot with Astrud and recorded on several of her albums such as Look To The Rainbow, Gilberto with Turrentine, The Shadow Of Your Smile etc. A Brazilian legend.
Господи!Какое же неимоверное и огромное наслаждение просто видеть как она поёт,как играют музыканты.Есть возможность просто смотреть старые записи.Видеть как классные музыканты просто играют.Это такое немыслимое эстетическое удовольствие-похожее на счастье.Столько лет эти песни слушаю-и они как и в первый раз прекрасны.И голос у Аструд-просто блаженство.И грустно-что прямо слезы льются,и счастьеодновременно.Спасибо Стен Гетсу,Антонио Карлосу Жобиму,Жао и Аструд Жилбкрто-вы-космос божественный
I was smitten by her unadulterated brilliance, no vibrato necessary, her subtle transcendent clarity and beauty since first hearing her in about 1965. Thank you for sending this uplifting video.

You can't pour fine wine from an empty bottle. Astrud has such richness and earnest warmth..she need not sing, she just parts her lips demurely and purrs her deliciously sultry angel breath and her gorgeous clean soul fills our hearts. I adore this lady so much my soul aches like silent earthquake
You can tune a piano after her and at the same time she invented a new way to sing as if there was no art at all. So humble and so stellar. The true human shines through like no one else. Maybe Chet Baker. And then the beauty on top. After her singing, no one should talk ever. Just let her in. Let her stay. When she had been that young, she must not have explored all facets of her voice but was already perfect. I hope she reads how much we all still love her. May she enjoy life as long as she wants. She’s immortal anyway.
I have always thought that Astrud Gilberto had one of the sweetest voices ever, and now, to my utter delight, I find that her appearance matches her voice. :D
I'm just pinching myself as I can hardly believe this footage exists and that I've lived long enough to see it. Bless you for posting… never have I seen such close up camera work with her…she's beyond words... is it a dream……
Her vocal control is amazing. That limpid vibratoless sustain, such a difficult and exposed approach, just astounding how effortlessl and casual she makes it look, even as she is clearly a supported and deeply technical singer. Not the only one who ever put all these pieces together, but surely a pioneer, and one of the greats.
What an incredible soft and soothing voice Astrud has-so beautiful and stunning! You will never see anything like this on the voice or American Idol. Beautiful music of the past seems to only live on through UA-cam.
Da Bahia para o mundo. A voz doce, suave e encantadora da Bossa Nova. A verdadeira embaixadora do movimento da música brasileira que ganhou o planeta. Obrigado Astrud Gilberto, você vai deixar muitas saudades!!!❤❤❤
Astrud has a delicate,in tune voice,in her style she is the best,I mean in bossa nova,the music nowadays can not compare to the music of Astrud and Tom Jobim.I am brazilian,I play bossa nova and it will never end,good music is forever.
As a studio engineer myself, I agree. This recording is outstanding. What year was this made? The music, her voice, and her beauty is what most people focus on, and I get this. But this sound quality is shocking!
All of her innocence to cameras, audiences and TV's inherent "chilling" effect comes out in her eyes, and their almost lost appearance. Dom Um Romao's major introduction came with his performance with Sinatra & Jobim. He was one of the smoothest Brazilian drummers I am aware of. This is so wonderful, thank you. All well practiced and performed by the diva de bossa nova!
sandra helen Well, now you have hit a soft spot with me. I love Ellis, who was taken from the world way too early. I guess I just put singers like Ellis, Kenia, and Nana Caymmi into another "realm" of true classic Brazilian female vocalists. Astrud, to her credit, got serious with her recording with Stanley Turrentine.
Since I first heard the voice of Astrud Gilberto, still I was a ... child, I haven't not only fallen in love with her voice. The love continues to this Day. Every time I hear and/or see them again, I'm lovingly reminded of them musically. Bossa Nova ist an important beat into the rhythm of my live. This love ❤ is immortal😊. Even in you've left us now: THANK YOU for your wonderful music 😊, which will outlast the time in its harmony..Astrud, where ever you now are: Let the hearts 💖💗💞💞💕 and souls dance Samba 😊 In love Werner Watzlaw🥰
Incredible, priceless footage of a special moment in time - Astrud's vocal here is magnificent as always! Her easy, soothing,natural delivery is on point! She may be the greatest female vocalist in history! Astrud's outfit is nearly as stunning as her voice and beauty!!!
i agree partially, but let's not be so eager to classify. remember there were women like ella fitzgerald, mahalia jackson, aretha franklin, aura urziceanu, billie holiday etc.
10/10 Definitely concur. And... here's a tidbit... drummer Dom Um Romão also performed with Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66. So this is quite a super-group event here. Of course, it's all about Astrud!
@@McGigi666 You are right, of course.Let's also not forget Marilyn McCoo, Judith Durham, Mama Cass Elliot, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins and Mariska Veres.There are others, of course, but I think I'll stop here.
Astrud is so amazingly talented. Her voice is so soft and beautiful. She ranks with Billy Holliday , Sarah Vaughn, Carmen MCrea, Elise Regina. All of 'em. There are so many other tunes she could have done. But so little time.
One of the best recordings of Astrud. She seems progressively more relaxed and really kicks it! What a legend. Her voice so clear. I love the way she pronounces and savors her words, working the word in the tone. Loved the syncopation of the Telephone song. Excellent camera work on this. One song better than the next. Awesome. Thanks for posting! Last winter heard "It might as Well be Spring" sitting in a Starbucks in Madison, Wisc, while it was -15F degrees outside............her song made me smile! :)
I saw Astrud live at S.O.B.'s in downtown Manhattan many years ago. It was a thrill seeing her, though it wasn't her best night: the club was so packed that the noise from the tables bothered her. This long clip shows a quality she always had: that she'd just been pressed into singing out of the blue, that she'd come up to the microphone from the audience without ever having sung in public before, and that she was a bit nervous with all the attention on her. But over and over she won hearts.
Each time I see her perform or hear her voice I fall in love all over again. I've been doing that since I first heard her voice in '62 when I was 12 years old.
An intimate setting..... accomplished musicians... have to step back..... because Astrud takes over the performance. Her presence and her unique voice... gentle, sensual and pure, takes over any learned technique from lessons in a classroom... IT IS ASTRUD!!! Her voice , presence and composure innocently.... dominates. This is not 1962..... more like 67.... when Astrud is happy. Look at other live performances.... she is not shy here... happy in song.... Astrud.. email me asap.... I know you!
MEU PAI BIOLÓGICO DOM UM NA BATERIA,FANTÁSTICO NO SEU TOQUE DIVINO.ELE FOI CONSIDERADO UM DOS MAIORES BATERISTAS DO MUNDO A FAMOSA REVISTA DOWNBEAT ATESTA O FEITO.SAUDADES,,,,,,,,,
Fantastic to hear this now. The BBC did a show with Astrud Gilberto about the same time (1965) , with a band led by Canadian sax player Art Ellefson. Be great if that is ever unearthed.
Never knew she was in my country, I was 16 then. Saw that pianist Pim Jacobs' trio for free, and many other well known Dutch jazz artists (Louis van Dijk I remember). Sunday afternoons in a house bordering on the Vondelpark, Amsterdam. The very social government and progressives of my city had decided it would be a good way to keep us kids off the streets and out of making trouble. So every Sunday they paid for the best Dutch jazz artist to play in a big room of that house, where maybe 50 of us kids enjoyed great music. If Astrud sang there I didn't know it, but it wouldn't have surprised me.... I did not go to all of them. But those sure were the days... Later I loved her album with Stan Getz. (Who I later '74 I saw in a tiny jazz club in San Francisco, another big room, $7,50 entrance. Top US jazz artists, heard many there, Sonny Rollins, Max Roach, Art Blakey... don't remember the others.)
Wow, what an interesting story, thanks for sharing! I was born in the late 70's, so I don't remember the times you write about, but 60's and 70' s always fascinated me in terms of music. I like all music genres , including jazz - I adore the sound of a jazz guitar. I always yearned for attending a concert by one of those jazz guitar greats, such as Montgomery or Burrell, but unfortunately that never happened. Greetings from Poland.🎸
just found this now.. how i fell in love with Astrud, when I was 17 , like 1981, when first heard Girl from Ipanema , and of course Stan on sax that time. This is so great. Here we hear even more of her perfect sweet pitch...
She is as so very tender with bossa..... Her voice it's very smooth with certain calm I'm from Spain but love her music as do much specially The Girl from Ipanema, or Corcovado.... Really can touch my deep feelings,,,,,,, love bossa nova as so much.... Desafinado or meditation,,,,,, stan gentzz too really it's as so wonderfull........ Nonstop to brazil its a very very romantic song,,,,,, sorry if my English isn't as very good but still I'm trying as so learning as so Better greetings from South of Spain!!!!!
I had no clue this video existed!!! “The Telephone Song (Buzz Buzz)” is probably my favorite thing Astrud ever did. She is a Goddess for sure!!! So breathy and immediate-like your favorite girl whispering into your ear....
This covers a lot of the repertoire from the "Getz Au Go Go" album, an album I played a lot from my parent's record collection. Because of that album, Stan Getz was a major influence on me musically in junior high school and high school. "Only Trust Your Heart" by Sammy Cahn and Benny Carter is an incredible tune.
Astrud, que maravilha tua voz! Eu gosto da musica brasilera, a melhor de todo o mundo. Baci dall'Italia! Ti adoro Astrud, sei una sogno fatto voce. Obrigada!
O MEU SAUDOSO PAI DOM UM ROMÃO NA BATERIA,MUITAS SAUDADES DELE,CONSIDERADO PELA IMPRENSA ESPECIALIZADA UM DOS MAIORES BATERISTAS DO MUNDO.ERA O BATERISTA PREFERIDO PELO TOM JOBIM,JORGE BEN E VÁRIOS ARTISTAS.A MINHA MÃE SAUDOSA LAURA O CONHECEU NA DÉCADA DE 40 NA LAPA NO BAR RESTAURANTE ORFEÃO PORTUGUES.ELE ERA DIVINO NO INSTRUMENTO.QUE FALTA ESTÁ FAZENDO.
Wow! It is so rare to see and hear Astrud sing some of her greatest songs in one video. Thank you for posting this. To see how cool and easy it is for her to sing these songs is so amazing. No fancy dancing or movement. Just glancing from side to side with the occasional smile brings a great impact on the viewer. Astrud Gilberto and Bossa Nova lives on.....
female singers of today can tie a knot in their dental floss with their tonsils and shatter glass at same time while singing, Astrud Gilberto sings with such elegant simplicity, she could be the girl at our Sunday meeting. the music she sings is so romantic, her career has lasted.
This is fantastic. I'm a lifelong Astrud fan and didn't even know this footage existed. It's so beautifully raw. Astrud's crooning is great, even when she sings slightly flat. Thank you for posting this video.
I recognized Pim Jacobs right away. There is a really great session with him and his band featuring Wes Montgomery on UA-cam. He is a heck of a keyboard player .
Lots of flats, sharps, scales, tempo changes.....her voice is truly an instrument that is part of the group...she is one of the best jazz singers ever.......May Astrud rest in peace....
You cannot copy that voice.
It is a pitty and sad that she could never be a little more self confident at all. But on the other hand it is her brand. She is wonderful, sweet and lovely with her kind of singin...R.I.P. Astrud
I cannot believe the fidelity of this recording. The engineer and producer deserve massive credit. 👌🏾
the old days of mic'ing were spot on....
Gotto be Dutch ;)

Pure music. No auto tune, no drum synth, no gimmicks, just pure great music. Music like this shall live on forever.

But electronic microphones, it's crap. bring back wood sticks and a cave I say, now THATS music! ( see how crazy that sounds :))
i listen to both. sorry you're close minded
@@_rainfield823Do you believe in Life after Love?
She has such a soft and effortless style of singing. Nothing is forced; it just flows like clear water in a stream. And the way she moves between Portuguese and English so smoothly. It is just so lovely.
How interesting. Your post describes your own post as well. Just beautiful.
Ditto! Not all to common to express in words alone, let alone English.***
Amazing description
She is stunning. Also, whoever recorded this really knew what they were doing, you couldn't ask for a better sound. Even all the new technology we have now, recordings don't get any better than this.

Yep
The audio quality IS wonderful. Too bad the video quality is so poor. Not just the fuzzy 1962 TV recording, but the squashed aspect ratio that makes her look too short and round.

Over performing seems the standard these days…
@@fredgien It's mostly an African-American cultural thing...a lot of showboating that unfortunately gets in the way of the music (and the talent).
@@pacz8114 It's an African-American cultural degradation thing. It didn't used to be like this even for them (and in the context of jazz, especially for them).
Yes RIP
Brazilian music is among the most beautiful contemporary music around, and Astrud's silky voice was perfect for it.
That was music!!!
who ever did sound for this concert absolutely crushed it. For 1962 The Audio is CRYSTAL CLEAR
And the incredible camera work with Astrud's pretty face from all angles up close and personal !
Featuring the legendary drummer Dom Um Romão! He toured a lot with Astrud and recorded on several of her albums such as Look To The Rainbow, Gilberto with Turrentine, The Shadow Of Your Smile etc. A Brazilian legend.
He was the drummer with the second incarnation of Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66.
Now that there's UA-cam, I can finally WATCH this talented woman sing. She really casts a spell with that voice. Like a mother's lullaby.
Wow!
Like a MAMA'S lullaby!
Even when you posted this, UA-cam had been around a number of years.
She's more like a besstie that becomes your honey.

Her vocal control is amazing. That limpid vibratoless sustain, such a difficult and exposed approach, just astounding how effortlessl and casual she makes it look, even as she is clearly a supported and deeply technical singer. Not the only one who ever put all these pieces together, but surely a pioneer, and one of the greats.
No auto-tune, no synth sound, no beat box, no effects, just talent, practice, high-performance!
Drummer's name is actually Dom Um Romão who worked with Astrud Gilberto and Weather Report.
And, Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66. Unfortunately, he has passed away.
What an incredible soft and soothing voice Astrud has-so beautiful and stunning! You will never see anything like this on the voice or American Idol. Beautiful music of the past seems to only live on through UA-cam.

God do I love her voice. This is wonderful. Those were the days.
Her voice draws you closer... it's intimacy in sound. Beautiful!
Wonderful realeasing! Outstanding woman, unique voice, rare gift! 👍
Great recording to commemorate her. Astrud past away 5th of June 2023.
Astrud turned 80 this past March. Her legacy will live long and prosper.
Pim Jacobs was an amazing jazz musician and his wife Rita Reys a wonderful singer, a piece of Dutch history not to be forgotten.
A wonderful vocalist may she Rest In Peace.
Love this! I can listen to Astrud non-stop for hours. She took Jazz to a whole new level with that beautiful voice!

just found this now.. how i fell in love with Astrud, when I was 17 , like 1981, when first heard Girl from Ipanema , and of course Stan on sax that time. This is so great. Here we hear even more of her perfect sweet pitch...
Brings me back when my Grandparents where still alive. ❤ RiL
Do tempo em que o Brasil ainda sonhava alto.
She is as so very tender with bossa..... Her voice it's very smooth with certain calm I'm from Spain but love her music as do much specially The Girl from Ipanema, or Corcovado.... Really can touch my deep feelings,,,,,,, love bossa nova as so much.... Desafinado or meditation,,,,,, stan gentzz too really it's as so wonderfull........ Nonstop to brazil its a very very romantic song,,,,,, sorry if my English isn't as very good but still I'm trying as so learning as so Better greetings from South of Spain!!!!!
Chic & casual sophistication back then. I saw her in the 90's in Hollywood at the Catalina bar and Grill. A memorable night.
Lucky you, man, lucky you!!
I also had the honour of seeing her at the Catalina twice, it was mesmerising.
Every genre has its icon. The one who embodies the total experience. Ladies and gentlemen here she is.
Such innocents in that time, her voice is meditating Brazilian romance in the language of Portuguese. Rest In Peace my love.
How could you not fall in love? She was a force of nature, RIP Astrud
Buzz-buzz...I'm in love! Thank you!
Such a sweet soft voice.
just now seeing this...a rare treasure...
I had no clue this video existed!!! “The Telephone Song (Buzz Buzz)” is probably my favorite thing Astrud ever did. She is a Goddess for sure!!! So breathy and immediate-like your favorite girl whispering into your ear....
This covers a lot of the repertoire from the "Getz Au Go Go" album, an album I played a lot from my parent's record collection. Because of that album, Stan Getz was a major influence on me musically in junior high school and high school. "Only Trust Your Heart" by Sammy Cahn and Benny Carter is an incredible tune.
Absolutely fantastic! I've watched it 3 times and have picked up something new each time. Well worth the 18 minutes!!!!!
Astrud, que maravilha tua voz! Eu gosto da musica brasilera, a melhor de todo o mundo. Baci dall'Italia! Ti adoro Astrud, sei una sogno fatto voce. Obrigada!

Wow! It is so rare to see and hear Astrud sing some of her greatest songs in one video. Thank you for posting this. To see how cool and easy it is for her to sing these songs is so amazing. No fancy dancing or movement. Just glancing from side to side with the occasional smile brings a great impact on the viewer. Astrud Gilberto and Bossa Nova lives on.....
QUEM ACREDITOU NO AMOR,NO SORRISO E NA FLOR ENTAO SONHOU,SONHOU
female singers of today can tie a knot in their dental floss with their tonsils and shatter glass at same time while singing, Astrud Gilberto sings with such elegant simplicity, she could be the girl at our Sunday meeting. the music she sings is so romantic, her career has lasted.
thinking of Christina Aguilera her screeches makes me goose bumps!
it's a delicious pleasure to hear an angel of the sky singing !
Astrud , I love you sine I was twelve... My angel...
If you had a bad day just listen to astrud gilberto.
This is fantastic. I'm a lifelong Astrud fan and didn't even know this footage existed. It's so beautifully raw. Astrud's crooning is great, even when she sings slightly flat. Thank you for posting this video.
RIP Astrud, so beautiful! June 5 2023
She,,in my opinion,,is the Best singer ever to be in our time
Astrud!! Maravilhosa cantora. Adoro. Infelizmente nunca vem ao Brasil. Uma pena!
I recognized Pim Jacobs right away. There is a really great session with him and his band featuring Wes Montgomery on UA-cam. He is a heck of a keyboard player .
It's indeed so soothingly swingin'. All that healing power to the people!
I am mesmerized by her. Absolutely beautiful!
