1	Buena Vista Social Club (1997) more music like this by Buena Vista Social Club This album is named after a members-only club that was opened in Havana in pre-Castro times, a period of unbelievable musical activity in Cuba. While bandleader Desi Arnaz became a huge hit in the States, several equally talented musicians never saw success outside their native country, and have had nothing but their music to sustain them during ... see all copies from $6.78! new only from $16.52!
2	Lagrimas Negras (2004) more music like this by Bebo & Cigala Lágrimas Negras (Black Tears) is a collaborative effort between the octogenarian Cuban piano master Bebo Valdés and the reigning Spanish flamenco cantador, Dieguito El Cigala. Recorded for Fernando Trueba and Nat Chediak's Calle 54 label, the sessions took place in Madrid between September and December 2002. Maestro Valdés (born in 1918), the ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $6.75!
3	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Ibrahim Ferrer (1999) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer When the Buena Vista Social Club album was released to great acclaim in 1997, it revived the careers of quite a few incredibly talented aging Cuban musicians. Like Ibrahim Ferrer, most of those musicians (who had been legendary in the '40s through the '70s) hadn't been performing professionally in decades. With the success of the Buena Vista ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $16.52!
4	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 $8.15! new only from $10.29!
5	Greatest Hits (1962) more music like this by Vince Guaraldi First released on LP in 1980, this compilation concentrates upon bite-sized samples from Vince Guaraldi's Fantasy catalog. Naturally, Fantasy includes famous tunes like "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" and "Linus and Lucy," but there are also some superb sleepers ("Star Song," Jobim's "Outra Vez") that display Guaraldi's wonderful melodic gift, and ... see all copies from $3.65! new only from $10.29!
6	The Charlie Brown Suite & Other Favorites (2003) more music like this by Vince Guaraldi While many consider Vince Guaraldi's musical contributions to the Charlie Brown television cartoons to be jazz "lite," there are many more who could care less what they think, and there are still more who realize that the late Mr. Guaraldi was a first-rate composer who understood no bounds when it came to creative music. His recordings for Black ... see all copies from $5.23! new only from $5.23!
7	Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus (1962) more music like this by Vince Guaraldi Here is Vince Guaraldi's breakthrough album -- musically, commercially, in every which way. After numerous records as a leader or sideman, for the first time a recognizable Guaraldi piano style emerges, with whimsical phrasing all his own, a madly swinging right hand and occasional boogie-influenced left hand, and a distinctive, throat-catching, ... see all copies from $7.92! new only from $10.29!
8	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 $5.02! new only from $5.02!
9	Tango: Zero Hour (1992) more music like this by Astor Piazzolla Considered by Piazzolla to be his best work, 1986's Tango Zero Hour was the culmination of a career that began in Argentina in the 1930s. Piazzolla started out auspiciously enough working with one of the brightest lights of the classic tango era, singer Carlos Gardél. After Gardél's tragic death in 1935 (by turning down an offer to tour with the ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $16.23!
10	The Soul of Tango: Greatest Hits (2000) more music like this by Astor Piazzolla One of a number of posthumous attempts by various labels to present a coherent picture of the whole of Astor Piazzolla's genius, this collection makes that attempt by separating his music into a number of different groups. It begins with an orchestral introduction number, then moves into his first major group on the album, the Quintet, with a pair ... see all copies from $12.50! new only from $16.93!

12 view cover	Spain Again (2006) more music like this by Michel Camilo/Tomatito Michel Camilo, the New York-based, Dominican-born pianist, and Tomatito, the Spanish flamenco guitarist, recorded a well-received duets album called Spain in 2000, and this sequel is intended to take the collaboration to the next level. Spain Again does. It's a bravura performance that pushes both men into strange and satisfying new territories ... see all copies from $11.87! new only from $14.78!
13 view cover	Suntan (1986) more music like this by Michel Camilo Trio Pianist Michel Camilo did some intensive recording for the Japanese Suntan label over a two-day period in 1986. These five selections were in a trio format with Dave Weckl and Joel Rosenblatt alternating on drums and Anthony Jackson on bass throughout. Camilo displayed the Afro-Latin and Latin jazz side of his keyboard personality with slashing, ... see all copies from $6.69! new only from $10.76!

15 view cover	On a Starry Night (1997) more music like this by Various Artists A calming, diverse collection of lullabies from the world over. Assembly of the compilation is by violinist Tracy Silverman (Turtle Island String Quartet), a father of two. Silverman succeeded in capturing most lullabies performed by families. A smorgasbord of cultures is represented: Japan, Indonesia, Brazil, Ghana, Iceland, Israel, Russia, and ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $11.06!
16 view cover	For My Lady (1991) more music like this by Jean 'Toots' Thielemans with Shirley Horn The emphasis is on ballads for harmonica player Toots Thielemans' outing with the Shirley Horn Trio. Horn, in addition to contributing some tastefully supportive piano and occasional solos, takes a vocal on "Someone to Watch Over Me." Toots sounds quite relaxed performing 11 standards (only "Blues in the Closet" generates much heat) plus his ... see all copies from $9.41! new only from $13.20!
17 view cover	Mi Sueño (2007) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer The success of the Buena Vista Social Club series gave Cuban singer Ibrahim Ferrer the chance to finally begin his dream project in 2005, the recording of an entire album of bolero pieces, the musical form Ferrer loved above all others. Unfortunately the 78-year-old singer died in August of that year while sessions for the project were still ... see all copies from $9.13! new only from $16.23!
18 view cover	Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Turning the covers album concept on its head, Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba doesn't set a varied group of northern artists loose on the music made famous by the Buena Vista Social Club, but instead sets the Club's members lose on the northerners' own songs. Now that's an inspired idea, and all to aid charities assisting the victims of natural disasters ... see all copies from $12.21! new only from $16.81!
19 view cover	King of Kings: The Very Best of Tito Puente (2002) more music like this by Tito Puente Tito Puente was never one for half measures, and even in death there's no modesty involved, as the label calls him King of Kings. It might be an exaggeration, but only a slight one, and it gets the attention. Still, as the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and there's a hearty meal here, albeit one missing one or two choice ... see all copies from $8.45! new only from $12.69!
20 view cover	Concord Records SACD Sampler, Vol. 1 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
21 view cover	Conversations (2007) more music like this by The Rodriguez Brothers The Rodriguez Brothers' debut recording as co-leaders blends elements of Latin jazz and post-bop in fine fashion, with each of them contributing several infectious originals. The Latin flavor is a little more discrete in Michael Rodriguez's driving opener, "Rowdy Rod," showcasing his fiery trumpet and a fine solo by bassist Carlos Henríquez. ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
22 view cover	Caliente! (1976) more music like this by Gato Barbieri Large band. His best Latin jazz/pop recording. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.29!
23 view cover	Caravanserai (1972) more music like this by Santana Drawing on rock, salsa, and jazz, Santana recorded one imaginative, unpredictable gem after another during the 1970s. But Caravanserai is daring even by Santana's high standards. Carlos Santana was obviously very hip to jazz fusion -- something the innovative guitarist provides a generous dose of on the largely instrumental Caravanserai. Whether ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.05!
24 view cover	Putumayo Presents: Latin Jazz (2007) more music like this by Various Artists It goes without saying that the entire history and stylistic diversity of Latin jazz cannot be encapsulated on one ten-track CD. But like all of Putumayo's compilations, that was the task the label was faced with: representing the chosen genre adequately and accurately while understanding that much more would necessarily be omitted than included. ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
25 view cover	Sabroso: The Afro-Latin Groove (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Sabroso! The Afro-Latin Groove is a terrific 18-track collection of Latin jazz recorded between 1954 and 1972. Many of the songs here are making their debut appearence on CD, and several of the artists here -- including major artists like Willie Bobo -- are underrepresented on disc, so this is a helpful way to round up cool, groove-oriented cuts ... see all copies from $14.04! new only from $19.75!
