At this point in her career Astrud Gilberto was broadening her sound, adding more American pop and standards and moving away slightly from the bossa nova that made her famous. In addition to some Brazilian fare, Beach Samba spans a wide range of eras and material, mainly ballads and mid-tempo numbers from contemporary writers such as Tim Hardin, a couple of standards and even a Lovin' Spoonful cover song with a guest appearance from Gilberto's young son. Arranged by Don Sebesky and Eumir Deodato, who also contributed an original song. This album included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
One of Gilberto's less impressive '60s Verve outings, primarily due to the more pop-oriented song selection. Much of this is just standard pleasant Gilberto: offhand vocals and a sumptuous Brazil pop-cum-U.S. orchestration feel (Ron Carter and Toots Thielemans are among the sidemen). And some of the pop choices work well, particularly Tim Hardin's gorgeous "Misty Roses." No vocals or arrangements, however, could save the criminally wrong-headed military march of "A Banda (Parade)," or the exasperatingly coochie-coochie duet between Gilberto and her six-year-old son on the Lovin' Spoonful's "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice." Which makes it all the more surprising when the next and concluding track, "Nao Bate O Corocao," has Gilberto cutting loose with confident, sassy scats, as she rarely did before or since.
