In the Wee Small Hours Записи 1963-1986 гг.   Review by James Christopher Monger Like Nico, Astrud Gilberto's everywoman voiced has always had a polarizing effect on critics and fans alike. While her take on bossa nova is less than reverent and decidedly lightweight, the warmth and approachability she brings to each performance is stunning. Verve's lovingly compiled -- and blissfully affordable -- Astrud Gilberto's Finest Hour is as solid a collection of her heady mixture of samba, jazz and pop as you're likely to find. Twenty songs, including the classic "Girl From Ipanema," wash in like waves from the warmest of oceans, carrying with them the soft, reverb-drenched soundtrack to summer. If the tropical heat of "Berimbau," the lazy and lonely pulse of Burt Bacharach's "Trains and Boats and Planes" and the upbeat swing of "Wish Me a Rainbow" don't instantly take the drudgery of your day away, then consider yourself hopelessly bitter. Highly recommended.     Состав Astrud Gilberto - vocals Marty Paich - arranger, conductor Gil Evans - arranger, piano Eumir Deodato - arranger Joao Gilberto - guitar, background vocals Toots Thielemans - guitar Bud Shank - flute Phil Bodner, Bill Hammond, Hubert Laws, Seldon Powell, Stan Webb - woodwinds Stan Getz - tenor saxophone Bernie Glow, Jimmy Nottingham, Ernie Royal, Marvin Stamm - trumpet Ray Alonge, Earl Chapin, Tony Miranda - French horn Wayne Andre, Warren Covington, Urbie Green, Tony Studd - trombone John Horn - tuba Walter Wanderley - piano, organ Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Donato - piano Ron Carter, Tommy Williams, Joe Mondragon - bass Claudio Sion, Grady Tate - drums Alan Douglas, Bobby Rosengarden - percussion
