The 2008 reissue of Astrud Gilberto's LOOK TO THE RAINBOW restores the original 1967 LP's 11-track configuration. (The previous CD version included six songs from a previous Gilberto collaboration with Brazilian organist Walter Wanderly.) With arrangements provided by Gil Evans and saxophonist Al Cohn, it's also perhaps Gilberto's most jazz-oriented session, starting off with the percussive "Berimbau," sung in the original Portuguese. Since this is just as much a Gil Evans project, we are also treated to one of his signature slow meditations on "I Will Wait For You," which perfectly supports Gilberto's typically plaintive vocal. There are some bossa nova standards here too--Jobim's "A Felicidade" and the perky "Bim Bom"--in addition to the lovely "Once Upon A Summertime," whose evanescence this wonderfully remastered edition reveals as if for the first time.
