Pim Jacobs and Astrud Gilberto - Bossa Nova conquering the Netherlands 1962

[@MisterHoohah]

RIP Astrud… Te Amo

[@adriva5587]

R I P Astrud, thank you for your soothing & beautiful voice 🙏🏻

[@hawkeyedave]

My first crush as a young boy. I will never forget her. ❤ God bless her.

[@Rottingboards]

Thank you Astrud. You brought Bossa Nova to the USA. Such a beautiful women inside and out.

[@geob3963]

I didn’t think it was possible that I could love Astrud Gilberto even more, yet, here we are. Thank you, Astrud.

[@sitarnut]

Me as well, Brother.... she's the living end.

[@MrMiticide]

Just discovered her! She's very captivating 😍

[@mmkuyt]

Pim Jacobs (1934-1996) was a jazz pianist and TV-host from the Netherlands. With shows like this he brought Jazz to the people. In 1962 he had just married the dutch jazz singer Rita Reys (1924-2013), who would rise to international fame in the 1960's and 1970's. I owe him a lot, because he introduced me to jazz when I was still in my teens.

[@TvDaddyAndTheTabloidArmy]

France, Sweden, Netherlands, Germany appreciated Jazz in the late 50s early 60s in a way the U.S. just Didn't

[@fromthesidelines]

He and his quintet performed on the soundtrack for the 1958 short, "Glass" (which won an Academy Award as "Best Documentary Short Subject"). kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmS0dqOHbtStjLc

[@JP51ism]

Hello, maybe you can clear up an issue I commented on above: Superb recording (Phillips equipment?) but I'm not sure if the date is right. The stories relate how she was a last minute choice in-studio to do the English version of Ipanema ~ in 1964. [Here she is not with Getz, though he is mention by Pim. (Later Getz was reported to have been dismissive but also abusive.)]

[@fromthesidelines]

This was recorded in July 1965 (and telecast the following October), when Astrud was in Holland for one day, during which she appeared on Pim's weekly program {"SEE JAZZ"}, and was in the U.S. the next day.

[@sitarnut]

The greatest video for us with Pim and Bro. Ruud in studio is with WES MONTGOMERY.. also Han Bennink on drums: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqHCeWx8jr-saqcsi=xtUt8ICzua6NYj0W.

[@johnjames4591]

I’m certain Astrud is singing a heavenly Bosa Nova. Her vocalization is soooo smooth and flowing - it takes me to a peaceful, tranquil, and completely relaxed place with infinite calm; like a soft, cool breeze. As with any truly talented artist, she sings effortlessly and with such ease. Add to that her natural beauty and innocent nature- I was in love! God bless you Astrud. You soothe my soul !

[@tbleu7182]

God bless you Astrud. You were unique with childlike innocence. May you rest in peace forever.

[@maksphoto78]

Pure perfection. Buttery, velvety vocals from Astrud, and subtle instrumentation from the rest of the band.

[@Gurci28]

The success of Gilberto's vocal work on the song "The Girl from Ipanema" quickly turned her into a jazz star, and soon she started recording solo. She started as an interpreter of Brazilian bossa nova and American jazz standards, but started recording her own compositions in the 1970s. In 1992, Astrud received the "Latin Jazz USA Award for Lifetime Achievement" for her outstanding contribution to Latin jazz music. Source: Last FM

Superb from start to finish Ruud Brink was one of Stan Getz's favorite Tenor players you can see why he had his tone down to a tee but in a way it was his own style it wasn't a total copy of Stan's sound it had Ruud's own individuality and Astrid's voice was a joy!

@@Gurci28 I think I read that she wasn't interested in the whole 'fame' thing. Or the commercialization. I should watch an interview. But then she probably hasn't been doing interviews. I wouldn't want to deal with fame, either. That's the thing that sucks about the entertainment industry. Everyone deserves privacy.

Bedankt. RIP multi-lingual Astrud Gilbert June 5, 2023, born Astrud Evangelina Weinert by a German father in Salvador da Bahia. Maybe she understood Dutch too? Just mix German, English, Swedish and Danish and voilà! Anyway, we had lunch during the carnival in Feb. 2004 at the restaurant 1 block from the gay Ipanema Beach where this song once was written. 🏖🍺🍲 /J, Sweden

Orgulho de ser brasileiro e termos um dos maiores plantel de artistas de todas as épocas. Astrud Gilberto tem uma das melhores vozes das intérpretes feminina. Pena não ter um reconhecimento à altura em seu próprio país de origem.

Holds a clear note without wavering.

[@maksphoto78]

Holds many clear notes, with the velvety, subtle control hardly any other vocalists have.

[@JP51ism]

Agreed ~ but I hear a little hovering, not wavering, but that's because it's natural ~ real. Today almost all vocal work is auto-tuned.
