Astrud Gilberto - The Shadow Of Your Smile (Acoustic Sounds Series)

Released by Verve Records in 1965, The Shadow of Your Smile captures Astrud Gilberto at the height of her cool, understated magic — the moment where bossa nova's breezy elegance met lush, mid-'60s studio sophistication. With beautifully tailored arrangements by Don Sebesky, Claus Ogerman, and João Donato, the album bathes Gilberto's iconic whisper-soft vocals in orchestral warmth and subtle Brazilian swing.

A crossover favorite that climbed to No. 66 on the Billboard 200, this is Astrud in full command of her artistry, moving effortlessly between intimate torch-song moods and sunlit bossa textures.

All records in this series are mastered from the original analog tapes, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and packaged by Stoughton Printing Co. in high-quality gatefold sleeves with tip-on jackets.

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Verve Records for their 'Acoustic Sounds Series' in 2026.
