Title: Astrud Gilberto – The Shadow Of Your Smile
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1965, Jazz, Bossa Nova, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Matrix #: V6-8629
Condition: EX

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Cut in NYC (RCA/A&R) in late 1964–early 1965 with Creed Taylor producing and Claus Ogerman/Don Sebesky arranging.

  2. Family Ties: Born Astrud Weinert; she was João Gilberto’s first wife and kept “Gilberto” professionally after their 1964 divorce.

  3. Personal Struggle: For “The Girl from Ipanema,” she was paid a flat studio fee (~$120) and received no royalties for the vocal—an early career inequity.
