- "manhã de carnaval" by astrud gilberto
- "he made sure that she got nothing": the sad story of astrud gilberto, the face of bossa nova
- stan getz was a notorious prick that revoked astrud's deserved royalties for her performance (at age 22 nonetheless!) and later abused wife and endangered children!
- astrud received $120, a union rate paid by the american musicians' syndicate for a night of session work
- joão gilberto cheated then left astrud for an art history student, later known as miúcha
- single mother, scorned woman
- 24 years old, traveling with her son marcelo on tour with getz, financial trouble, in the middle of a divorce
- "...and, of course, sadly, totally naïve."
- marcelo gilberto eventually learns the nature of how men perceived his mother as an object
- 1965-71 made eight solo albums once she was out of getz's clutch but did not receive production credit or recompense with CTI records
- 1987 one album
- 1996 "desafinado" cover with george michael
- japanese albums? no fucking way
- kinda like benito mussolini's granddaughter that made "tokyo night"
- brazil turned their back to her, she didn't perform in brazil after 1965, and and spent the rest of her life living in philly
- astrud and chet baker, gil evans, walter wanderley, quincy jones, james last, étienne daho, gerry mulligan, barney kessel
