Albums like this connect with my inner 6 year old I think. I was less than one years of age when this was released, but it was just this kind of music that I would hear when with my parents at some restaurant or cocktail party (Dad was in sales, so picture
that scene for 1970...). I was exposed to the adult world early in life, which was unusual for its day. So in my naive little world, beautiful sweet females dominated the music scene, and it was Astrud Gilberto leading the way. Not that I had any idea of that back then, or even until very recently. Her voice and this music goes deep to the core and I feel it like a cat who hasn't seen his former owner in 5 years. Favorite track from this set: 'Fly Me to the Moon'. When Jet Setting had real meaning. Sigh.
Ownership: LP: 1965 Verve (UK). Estate sale find (2019).
