Astrud Gilberto – I Haven’t Got Anything Better To Do
Only 1 left in stock
$25.00
“With her tenure on Verve drawing to a close, Astrud Gilberto steps further away from her bossa nova roots with I Haven’t Got Anything Better to Do, an intimate, nocturnal set closer in scope and spirit to the Baroque pop of Burt Bacharach, whose “Trains and Boats and Planes” is beautifully rendered here. In the liner notes Gilberto dubs it “my fireplace album,” and indeed the record is immediately warm and comforting, despite the melancholy that colors all of the selections. Albert Gorgoni’s arrangements are sumptuously romantic, perfectly complementing the simple, poignant vocals. Mistakenly considered a minor entry in the Gilberto canon, I Haven’t Got Anything Better to Do is instead a minor masterpiece. Each song is ideally suited to her distinctive style and the disc as a whole maintains a consistency of mood and feeling largely unmatched in her catalog.” – allmusic.com
