CD ReviewsNot what I was expecting J. Tompkins | Arlington, VA USA | 05/13/2001 (1 out of 5 stars) "I love Astrud Gilberto and Bossanova music, however I was disappointed with this CD. I'm confused - the "Girl From Ipanema" song I have heard over the years on the radio is different from the version on this CD. I'm not sure, but this CD sounds like one of those "updated" CD's where they take the original music and put a new musical arrangement around it. This CD does not have the same relaxed, aloof feel of other Bossanova music I have listened to. Check out the Gilberto and Wanderley CD. If you are a Bossanova or Gilberto fan, I would recommend this one, it is excellent. It is a collaboration between Astrud Gilberto and Walter Wanderley that was released @ 1966." Disco flapdoodle versions... Charles H. Levenson | new jersey | 11/18/2006 (1 out of 5 stars) "So maybe in the 1970s,when both bossa nova and Astrud Gilberto's time had peaked and passed,it seemed a good idea to re-record these classics in order to sell them to the disco crowd...Maybe Gilberto needed the cash...certainly it was no real stretch to go from bossa nova to disco..BUT THESE SIDES JUST AIN'T THE SAME AS THE ORIGINALS,and without Stan Getz's contributions these sides stink..." EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED Cynthia Ann Dolen | Houston, TX United States | 10/19/2006 (1 out of 5 stars) "When I ordered this CD I was expecting the original "The Girl from Ipanema." Imagine my disappointment when a totally different version, minus the incredible sax, began playing. I wanted to toss it then and there. I decided to check out the rest of the CD but it didn't get any better. Fortunately, I found the correct recording on the "Getz/Gilberto" CD, which is absolutely an incredible listening experience. This is the CD you want if you're looking for "The Girl from Ipanema." Don't waste your money (or your ears) on this CD. Just awful."
