1	Red Hot + Rio (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Now this is an interesting project; Brazilian standards and newly-composed music interpreted or transfigured by the old masters, rock stars and cutting-edge '90s musicians - with all the proceeds going to fight the spread of AIDS. What is so remarkable about this album is how wholeheartedly the younger musicians relate to the cruising Brazilian ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.51!
2	Late Night Sax [Rebound] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist When people hear the term "smooth jazz," they usually think of the music heard on NAC stations. But the idea of jazz functioning as smooth, soft, romantic mood music isn't something new -- back in the swing era, Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" (1939) and Artie Shaw's 1940 recording of "Stardust" (just to give two examples) showed the world how ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
3	Verve Remixed (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist More than ten years on from the first whisperings of a dance revolution, there are scores of solid producers in the scene, figures with all the talent, historical knowledge, and judgment necessary to rework most any tracks from the Verve archive. Surprisingly, Verve Remixed strays from the label's crossover-heavy '60s and '70s material (the ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $11.50!
4	Pure Jazz [Polygram] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Though it's part of the Pure series, Verve's Pure Jazz almost seems more as part of the Ken Burns Jazz multi-disc series, especially since it was released during that documentary's airing on PBS. Any of the tie-in discs to Ken Burns Jazz were designed to give an overview, either of an artist or an entire jazz style, while Pure Jazz is designed to ... see all copies from $2.61! new only from $11.93!
5	Girl from Ipanema: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook (1995) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim add to wishlist The first of several tribute albums issued just after Antonio Carlos Jobim's death, this one generally sticks to his most famous songs as interpreted by several Brazilian and American artists from PolyGram's archives. Jobim himself appears on such obvious choices as the best-selling Stan Getz, João Gilberto, and Astrud Gilberto hit "The Girl from ... see all copies from $4.34! new only from $8.16!
6	Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In the hope that Red Hot + Rio would ignite interest in Brazilian music within the X-Generation, Verve simultaneously released a historical survey with similar cover art, similar noise interludes between tracks, and occasionally, the same tunes (do not be confused!). Although some of the same old stuff reissued a thousand times before is here (the ... see all copies from $2.86! new only from $9.10!
7	Compact Jazz: Astrud Gilberto (1990) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist For listeners new to Gilberto's classic Verve work, this edition of the label's Compact Jazz sampler series makes for a perfect introduction. Along with Verve's equally fine Silver Collection of Gilberto's prime sides, this 16-track set includes cuts from most of the singer's different projects. From her classic Getz date ("The Girl From Ipanema") ... see all copies from $8.48! new only from $9.12!
8	Dick Bartley Presents: One Hit Wonders of the '60s, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Dick Bartley Presents:One Hit Wonders of the '60s, Vol. 1 collects 12 hit singles from '60s artists who never had more than one hit, so it's a terrific way to collect a number of wonderful pop singles -- "You Were on My Mind," "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight," "Last Kiss," "Walk Right In," "If You Wanna Be Happy" -- that are better heard on a ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $8.71!
9	The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album (1991) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist Astrud Gilberto has never been properly anthologized by Verve Records; although they've released a number of compilations over the years, none of them have been definitive, and most of them have been rather skimpy. 1987's The Silver Collection, originally released only in Europe but later imported to North America, is an idiosyncratic selection. ... see all copies from $4.18! new only from $12.49!
10	The Best Latin Party Album in the World...Ever (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The name pretty much says it all here. The Best Latin Party Album in the World...Ever features every aspect of Latin party music, from classics like José Feliciano's "Light My Fire" and Milton Nascimento's "Cravo e Canela (Clove and Cinnamon)," to trendy chart-toppers like los Umbrellos' "No Tengo Dinero," Kaoma's "Lambada," and los del Rio's mega ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
11	The Diva Series (2003) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist Astrud Gilberto, the Brazilian canary with the voice like honey and diction that defied belief, has been compiled many times on Verve, but rarely as well as on her entry in 2003's The Diva Series. A 21-track of her prime decade, the '60s, this one includes all of the classics associated with her: "The Girl From Ipanema," "Agua de Beber," ... see all copies from $9.03! new only from $9.03!
12	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Astrud Gilberto (2005) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist The discount-priced compilation 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Astrud Gilberto is a reasonable highlights disc drawn from Gilberto's recordings for Verve Records originally released between 1964 and 1967, her period of greatest visibility in the U.S. About the length of an old LP, the 12-track set of course includes ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.65!
13	Cruisin' 1964 (1986) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist An instantly recognizable bargain bin staple since the late '70s, thanks to their colorful comic book covers tracing the romantic life of an Everycouple named Peg and Eddie, the Cruisin' series of discs are built on a brilliant concept: each disc is devoted to a single year, with hit songs, local commercials, station jingles, and news headlines ... see all copies from $6.44! new only from $6.44!
14	Astrud Gilberto's Finest Hour (2001) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist Like Nico, Astrud Gilberto's everywoman voiced has always had a polarizing effect on critics and fans alike. While her take on bossa nova is less than reverent and decidedly lightweight, the warmth and approachability she brings to each performance is stunning. Verve's lovingly compiled -- and blissfully affordable -- Astrud Gilberto's Finest Hour ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
15	Beach Samba (1967) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
16	Bossa Nova Brasil (1991) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A good various-artists sampler of the modern Brazilian sound, including cuts from contemporary artists like Jorge Ben and Gilberto Gil. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
17	Compact Jazz: Best of Bossa Nova (1987) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $7.00! new only from $48.02!
18	Getz Au Go Go [Reissue] (1964) more music like this by Stan Getz with Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist Although the name Stan Getz (tenor sax) was initially synonymous with the West Coast cool scene during the mid-to-late 1950s, he likewise became a key component in the Bossa Nova craze of the early 1960s. Along with Astrud Gilberto (vocals), Getz scored a genre-defining hit with the "Girl From Ipanema," extracted from the equally lauded Getz ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
19	Verve Jazz Masters 9 (1994) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist see all copies from $2.00! new only from $10.35!
20	A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness [Bonus Tracks] (1966) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto/Walter Wanderley add to wishlist This record has always been a bit of a disappointment, not because it isn't good but because given the personnel involved it isn't better than it actually is -- it's sort of the bossa nova equivalent of those various Chess Records "super-blues" mega-sessions between Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and whoever else on the roster was still standing in ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $13.78!
21	Samba & Bassa Nova: The Gold Collection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Fine Tune's Samba & Bossa Nova: The Gold Collection is hardly a definitive overview of samba or bossa nova, nor should it be seen as an introduction to either genre. Instead, view it as an affordable sampler of the two styles, and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Not every performance is a classic, and several are subpar live tracks, but with cuts ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.08!
22	The Astrud Gilberto Album (1965) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto with Antonio Carlos Jobim add to wishlist Astrud Gilberto became an accidental success when her fragile command of English made her the de facto choice to sing "The Girl from Ipanema" at a session led by Stan Getz and her husband, João Gilberto. Of course, despite its overwhelming success, it wasn't clear that she could sustain a career when she recorded her first solo LP, The Astrud ... see all copies from $9.18! new only from $9.18!
23	Jazz 'Round Midnight: Astrud Gilberto (1996) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
24	Look to the Rainbow [Bonus Tracks] (1966) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist For this CD reissue the music on singer Astrud Gilberto's album Look to the Rainbow is combined with half of the songs from her following album, A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness. The former session was one of the bossa nova singer's best (11 perfectly suitable songs on which her soft voice is accompanied by an orchestra arranged by Gil Evans and ... see all copies from $10.74! new only from $10.74!
25	Astrud for Lovers (2004) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto add to wishlist Astrud for Lovers is a strong collection of love songs performed by Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto. Her wispy and melancholic vocals are featured in a variety of settings recorded between 1963 and 1969 for Verve. The earliest tune, "Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)," is taken from the legendary Getz/Gilberto album that marked Astrud's ... see all copies from $2.92! new only from $9.11!
