1	Look Around (1968) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Sergio Mendes took a deep breath, expanded his sound to include strings lavishly arranged by the young Dave Grusin and Dick Hazard, went further into Brazil, and out came a gorgeous record of Brasil '66 at the peak of its form. Here Mendes released himself from any reliance upon Antonio Carlos Jobim and rounded up a wealth of truly great material ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.29!
2	Jazz Samba (1962) more music like this by Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd Partly because of its Brazilian collaborators and partly because of "The Girl From Ipanema," Getz/Gilberto is nearly always acknowledged as the Stan Getz bossa nova LP. But Jazz Samba is just as crucial and groundbreaking; after all, it came first, and in fact was the first full-fledged bossa nova album ever recorded by American jazz musicians. ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $16.88!
3	Equinox (1967) more music like this by Sergio Mendes Equinox continues the scrumptiously winning sound that Sergio Mendes cooked up in the mid-'60s, this time a bit more fleshed out with John Pisano's guitar, a slightly thicker texture, and even an imitation sitar (this was, after all, 1967). Again, the mix of American pop tunes old and new and Brazilian standards and sleepers is impeccable ... see all copies from $6.78! new only from $17.62!
4	Fool on the Hill (1968) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Having hit upon another smash formula -- cover versions of pop/rock hits backed by lavish strings, a simplified bossa nova rhythm, and the leader's piano comping -- Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 produced two more chart-busting singles, again turning to the Beatles for sustenance with the title track (number six) and Simon & Garfunkel for "Scarborough ... see all copies from $4.28! new only from $10.29!
5	Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 (1996) more music like this by Sergio Mendes After bouncing around Philips, Atlantic, and Capitol playing Brazilian jazz or searching for an ideal blend of Brazilian and American pop, Sergio Mendes struck gold on his first try at A&M (then not much more than the home of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass and the Baja Marimba Band). He came up with a marvelously sleek, sexy formula: dual ... see all copies from $3.41! new only from $10.29!
6	Timeless (2006) more music like this by Sergio Mendes It's easy to think that since Santana made his big comeback using a lot of contemporary pop stars it would become the formula for the artists of yore to edge their way back into the limelight. Sergio Mendes, the best-selling Brazilian recording artist of all time, hasn't made a platter in eight years. He plays piano on a Black Eyed Peas track -- ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.49!
7	Casa [US Bonus Track] (2001) more music like this by Morelenbaum² & Ryuichi Sakamoto Multiple-threat cellist/arranger Jacques Morelenbaum and his singer/wife, Paula, were a big part of Antonio Carlos Jobim's life in his last decade, touring and recording with him and shaping the music of his last recordings. So it's entirely fitting that the Morelenbaums, along with pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto, should journey to Jobim's idyllic music ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
8	Putumayo Presents: Samba Bossa Nova (2002) more music like this by Various Artists The burgeoning new scene in Brazilian music that began in 2000 continues to grow, as a new generation reinterprets and redefines the classic ideas of samba and bossa nova. Some are the children of those who made the music in the first place, while others simply have their own take on the sound, and this compilation does a fair, if not complete, ... see all copies from $8.69! new only from $13.62!
9	Classics, Vol. 18 (1987) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 As an overview of Sergio Mendes in both of his A&M periods, the 1987-vintage CD Classics, Vol. 18 is a far more useful collection than the older Greatest Hits. Classics includes ten out of the twelve selections on Greatest Hits, replacing "Day Tripper" and "Night and Day" with "One Note Samba/Spanish Flea," "Bim Bom" and "Song of No Regrets" (a ... see all copies from $8.21! new only from $13.34!
10	Rive Gauche Rio (2005) more music like this by Celso Fonseca At first listen Rive Gauche Rio seems like an extension of Celso Fonseca's prior disc, with its gentle, acoustic bossa nova and sophisticated sounds. But go a little deeper and you'll find a layered animal, with very subtle programming touches burbling under the instruments, as on "Um Mundo Estranho," where there's plenty to delight the ear just ... see all copies from $11.49! new only from $15.77!
11 view cover	Bossa Nova Brasil (1991) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $7.69! new only from $10.29!
12 view cover	Crystal Illusions (1969) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 The sound and band that served Sergio Mendes well on Fool on the Hill remain intact on Crystal Illusions, with few modifications. Dave Grusin is right there with a lush, haunting orchestral chart when needed; Lani Hall is thrust further into the vocal spotlight, as cool and alluring as ever in Portuguese or English. Mendes remained on the lookout ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!

14 view cover	Four Sider (1988) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Covering the extent of Brasil '66's output from 1966-1972, Four Sider is the best available retrospective for those new to Mendes' successful Brazilian pop outfit (the 45-song Very Best of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 offers a more comprehensive, yet potentially daunting overview). Typical of the band's original albums, Four Sider includes a mix of ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.66!
15 view cover	Ye-Me-Le (1969) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 Perhaps the Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 sound was at last beginning to show signs of wear, for not only didn't Ye-Me-Le produce any hits ("Wichita Lineman" reached a lowly number 95), but the album is also less enterprising and fresh-sounding than its predecessors. There is a surprising shortage of Brazilian material, which was always Mendes' most ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $10.80!
16 view cover	Love Music (1973) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 Upon his first move away from A&M, Sergio Mendes signed with Bell, known mostly for pop fluff on the level of the Partridge Family, and practically jettisoned Brazil in search of a return ticket to the pop charts. Bones Howe is totally in charge of the production, Mendes has little to do with the arrangements (Bob Alcivar and Tom Scott handle them ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $32.88!
17 view cover	Brasileiro (1992) more music like this by Sergio Mendes What 1989's Arara hinted at, 1991's Brasileiro delivers with a vengeance, for at long last, here is a genuine, back-to-Brazil tour de force by expatriate Mendes. Taking up the long-abandoned thread of his prophetic Primal Roots album of 1972, Mendes went back to the taproots of his heritage, calling upon a plethora of explosive Brazilian rhythms ... see all copies from $9.28! new only from $9.28!
18 view cover	Brazil Classics, Vol. 1: Beleza Tropical (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Brazil Classics, Beleza Tropical is the first in a series compiled by Talking Heads singer David Byrne that preceded the big wave of interest in Tropicalia during the late '90s by almost a decade. Performers include such influential Brazilian figures as Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Jorge Ben, with several songs from each. The selected ... see all copies from $5.05! new only from $14.57!
19 view cover	Pieta (2003) more music like this by Milton Nascimento It's been far too long since the great Nascimento released an album of new material, but on the basis of this, he's completely on form, not losing his golden touch at all. Dedicated to his late stepmother, it finds Nascimento mining the themes of childhood and love that have always been the very heartbeat of his music. And to help him explore them ... see all copies from $16.49! new only from $16.49!
20 view cover	Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve (1959) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $6.93! new only from $10.29!
21 view cover	Courage (1968) more music like this by Milton Nascimento Milton Nascimento's first album for North American ears, recorded at Van Gelder Studios in New Jersey under the watchful eye and discerning ear of Creed Taylor, is a masterpiece, a gorgeously executed tour through his early songs. Backed beautifully by Eumir Deodato's lush orchestrations and a clutch of sidemen from the Taylor stable (including ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
22 view cover	Brazil Classics, Vol. 2: O Samba (1990) more music like this by Various Artists This is a compilation of samba from the collecting hands of David Byrne of Talking Heads fame. The selections primarily focus on the modern forms of the genre, more specifically on the studio end of the spectrum, with little or no relation to the large-scale productions associated with Carnaval in Rio. There are bits of reference to the classic ... see all copies from $11.63! new only from $11.63!
23 view cover	O Universo Musical de Baden Powell (2003) more music like this by Baden Powell In the early '60s when many Brazilian musicians brought bossa nova to the United States, classically trained guitarist Baden Powell took his guitar to France. Hence, the rest is history, as this Brazilian artist infused his hybrid jazz/classical/bossa nova articulations into the European scene. This program chronicles the work he did for the ... see all copies from $21.06! new only from $21.06!
24 view cover	Dança Das Cabeças (1976) more music like this by Egberto Gismonti This reissue of the album recorded in 1977 is a landmark of the careers of Gismonti and percussionist Naná Vasconcelos, his only accompanist here. Recorded in only three days, the album's concept is based on the history shared by both musicians, according to Gismonti: two boys wandering through a dense, humid forest, full of insects and animals, ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
25 view cover	Girl from Ipanema: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook (1962) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim 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 $10.29! new only from $10.29!
