Album Reviews:
This was a beautiful bossa nova record of Astrud Gilberto's vocal stylings...All the material (32:13) here, with the exception of "Learn to Live Alone" and "Pretty Place," which were arranged by Al Cohn, were arranged by Gil Evans. With the exception of a Johnny Coles trumpet solo, the personnel was uncredited on this 1966 recording. Discographies have credited Bob Brookmeyer (valve trombone), Kenny Burrell (guitar), and Grady Tate (drums), but except for a few bars of sax, there was no solo indivdualism in this large Creed Taylor-produced orchestra. ~ Bob Rusch, Cadence, All Music Guide
Many of Astrud Gilberto's later albums focus on bossa nova interpretations of jazz standards and pop songs, but 1967's LOOK TO THE RAINBOW consists primarily of Portuguese-language sambas and cariocas, many from the pen of the great Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim. Gilberto's version of Jobim's "Bim Bom" is the definitive interpretation of this much-recorded song. Other highlights include "Berimbau," the title track, and the melancholy "El Preciso Aprender A Ser So (Learn To Live Alone)." Gilberto is in excellent voice throughout, and producer Creed Taylor's orchestrations are kept low-key so as not to detract from that magical voice. Peculiarly, this 45-minute CD ends with the six songs from Gilberto's 1966 classic A CERTAIN SMILE, A CERTAIN SADNESS that do not appear at the end of the simultaneous CD reissue of 1967's BEACH SAMBA, including the album's two title tracks and the perfect "Summer Samba."
