Astrud Gilberto reached interna-tional prominence with “The Girl From Ipanema,” which her husband, Joao Gilberto, cut with Stan Getz in 1963. Over-the-top classic That Girl From Ipanema allowed her to revisit the hit in the setting of a disco big-band, overseen by MFSB and Salsoul mainstay, Vince Montana. Along with takes of Cole Porter’s “Love For Sale” and Harry Nilsson’s “The Puppy Song,” original “Far Away” benefits from the tasteful trumpet of Chet Baker, but the album ultimately revels in disco, the Brazilian element courtesy of percussionist Dom Um Romao, under Astrud’s soft, sultry vocals.
