1	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 $4.19! 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 $4.99! new only from $12.71!
3	Wave (1967) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim When Creed Taylor left Verve/MGM for his own label under the auspices of A&M, he quickly signed Antonio Carlos Jobim and they picked up right where they left off with this stunningly seductive record, possibly Jobim's best. Jobim contributes his sparely rhythmic acoustic guitar, simple melodic piano style, a guest turn at the harpsichord, and even ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
4	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 $16.81!
5	Elis & Tom (1974) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim & Elis Regina This beautiful -- and now legendary -- recording date between iconic Brazilian vocalist Elis Regina and composer, conductor, and arranger Tom Jobim is widely regarded as one of the greatest Brazilian pop recordings. It is nearly ubiquitous among Brazilians as a household item. Regina's voice is among the most loved in the history of Brazilian ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
6	New Bossa Nova (2007) more music like this by Luciana Souza For her sixth recording and first on a major label (Verve), Luciana Souza's concept of "new bossa nova" is melding Brazilian rhythms onto adult contemporary folk-pop MOR songs. She sings lyrics exclusively in English. The stamp of Joni Mitchell, aided and abetted by producer Larry Klein, makes this image unmistakable immediately from the first ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $11.18!
7	Getz/Gilberto (1963) more music like this by Stan Getz/João Gilberto One of the biggest-selling jazz albums of all time, not to mention bossa nova's finest moment, Getz/Gilberto trumped Jazz Samba by bringing two of bossa nova's greatest innovators -- guitarist/singer João Gilberto and composer/pianist Antonio Carlos Jobim -- to New York to record with Stan Getz. The results were magic. Ever since Jazz Samba, the ... see all copies from $8.96! new only from $15.43!
8	Tanto Tempo (2000) more music like this by Bebel Gilberto After working with artists like Caetano Veloso, David Byrne, and Towa Tei, Bebel Gilberto made her solo recording debut in the U.S. with Tanto Tempo, licensed for American release in 2000 by Six Degrees. It's an album of stylish, cool, contemporary bossa nova, with Gilberto's vocals a bit more assured and polished than Astrud Gilberto's classic ... see all copies from $6.94! new only from $11.75!
9	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!
10	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!
11 view cover	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!
12 view cover	Bebel Gilberto (2004) more music like this by Bebel Gilberto Although Bebel Gilberto has been writing, performing, and recording since her childhood, this is only her second full-length solo album. The child of Brazilian legend João Gilberto and the celebrated singer Miucha, she comes by her musical talent honestly, but has honed and developed it carefully over the years, being careful not to overexpose ... see all copies from $2.71! new only from $15.98!
13 view cover	Momento (2007) more music like this by Bebel Gilberto On her self-titled 2004 sophomore album, Bebel Gilberto ditched the loungey grooves she explored on her debut and stuck to mostly acoustic elements -- guitars, percussion, strings -- to complement her voice, but her next release, Momento, finds the singer returning to both electronica and more traditional bossa nova. Gilberto is still, of course ... see all copies from $9.31! new only from $9.31!
14 view cover	Black Orpheus [Fontana/Verve] (1959) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The festive and haunting soundtrack to the classic Oscar-winning film Black Orpheus introduced Brazilian bossa nova to an entire world who quickly fell in love with its romantic themes of melancholy, and, to this day, it remains one of the most popular forms of world music. The soundtrack features the three main figureheads behind bossa nova, ... see all copies from $15.00!
15 view cover	Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim Verve continues their Finest Hour series with Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour, a 17-song collection highlighting the bossa nova pioneer's singing and songwriting. "Insensatez," "Corcovado," "The Girl From Ipanema," "Desafinado," and other definitive tracks make this set entertaining, if not comprehensive. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.98! new only from $5.98!
16 view cover	Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim (1967) more music like this by Frank Sinatra By 1967, bossa nova had become quite popular within jazz and traditional pop audiences, yet Frank Sinatra hadn't attempted any Brazil-influenced material. Sinatra decided to record a full-fledged bossa nova album with the genre's leading composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Arranged by Claus Ogerman and featuring Jobim on guitar and backing vocals, ... see all copies from $8.74!
17 view cover	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 14: Bossa Novaville (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
18 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!
19 view cover	Astrud Gilberto's Finest Hour (2001) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto 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 $7.24! new only from $7.24!
20 view cover	Red Hot + Rio (1996) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $13.71! new only from $13.71!

22 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 $2.95! new only from $11.63!

24 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 $10.29!
