1	Jazz Samba (1962) more music like this by Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd add to wishlist 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 $5.99! new only from $15.32!
2	Woman on Top (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist Appropriately enough for a movie that takes place in Brazil and San Francisco, the soundtrack to the romantic comedy Woman on Top consists of bossa nova from Xavier Cugat, Geraldo Azevedo, Caetano Veloso, and Paulinho Moska. The story of a chef in -- and out of -- love with the leader of a bossa nova band, the film is complemented perfectly by ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $8.54!
3	Putumayo Presents: Latin Lounge (2005) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The downtempo side of fusion between traditional Latin forms and electronica. The mixes are surprisingly good throughout, with styles taken from everywhere from Spain to Argentina to Texas and thrown together with electronic beats and grooves. The album opens up with Alacran, an Italian outfit specializing in electronic tango à la Gotan Project. ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $8.50!
4	Putumayo Presents: Samba Bossa Nova (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $6.69! new only from $12.49!
5	Live at the Blue Note (2006) more music like this by Gal Costa add to wishlist Brazilian music legend and superstar (the Brazilians never, ever forget their heroes, they keep buying their records and attending their concerts until they drop) Gal Costa played to a very small jazz club crowd at the Blue Note in New York City in May of 2006. This recording on the DRG label is the complete recording of that performance. Costa ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $14.58!
6	O Universo Musical de Baden Powell (2003) more music like this by Baden Powell add to wishlist see all copies from $16.88! new only from $16.88!
7	Brazil Classics, Vol. 1: Beleza Tropical (1989) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $3.00!
8	Brazil Classics, Vol. 2: O Samba (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $5.99! new only from $9.21!
9	Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 (1966) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 add to wishlist 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 $8.00! new only from $9.14!
10	Look Around (1968) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 add to wishlist 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 $3.68! new only from $9.18!
11	Timeless (2006) more music like this by Sergio Mendes add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $15.34!
12	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 $3.79! new only from $8.16!
13	Rive Gauche Rio (2005) more music like this by Celso Fonseca add to wishlist 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 $5.29! new only from $11.58!
14	São Paulo Confessions (2000) more music like this by Suba add to wishlist Brazil's São Paulo is the largest city in South America, home to an estimated 19 million inhabitants. In 1992, this megalopolis ranked as the world's third largest city, coming in behind Tokyo and Mexico City. Within São Paulo's environs, like within any 21st century city, there is diversity and disparity, super-modern chic, and profound indigence ... see all copies from $7.31! new only from $13.28!
15	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!
16	Classics, Vol. 18 (1987) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 add to wishlist 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 $4.89! new only from $8.88!
17	Crystal Illusions (1969) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 add to wishlist 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 $9.00! new only from $9.14!
18	Samba Brasil [Philips] (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Samba Brasil is a fine collection of some of Brazil's best active performers, not really definitive of anything but full of quality material. Some of the biggest names here include Caetano Veloso, Elis Regina, Gal Costa, Beth Carvalho, Maria Bethania, Joao Bosco, and Chico DaSilva -- so the lineup leans toward an overall tropicalia flavor ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $9.14!
19	Composer of Black Orpheus Plays and Sings Bossa Nova (1963) more music like this by Luiz Bonfá add to wishlist see all copies from $8.16! new only from $8.16!
20	Equinox (1967) more music like this by Sergio Mendes add to wishlist 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 $3.55! new only from $15.34!
21	Brasileiro (1992) more music like this by Sergio Mendes add to wishlist 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 $6.96! new only from $8.71!
22	Love Music (1973) more music like this by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 add to wishlist 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 $7.00! new only from $16.74!
23	Walker [Bonus Tracks] (1987) more music like this by Joe Strummer add to wishlist Joe Strummer had become friendly with filmmaker Alex Cox when Strummer contributed some songs to the soundtrack of Cox's movie Sid and Nancy, and Joe later tagged along for the drunken holiday in Spain that was Straight to Hell. In 1987, when Cox began filming his ambitious (perhaps too ambitious) film about the life of American mercenary ... see all copies from $11.04! new only from $11.04!
24	Courage (1969) more music like this by Milton Nascimento add to wishlist 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 $8.16! new only from $8.16!
25	Solo in Rio 1959 (2005) more music like this by Luiz Bonfá add to wishlist Solo in Rio 1959 stands as a classic in the massive Luiz Bonfa catalog. Originally issued on the Cook label -- named for its owner, famed audio engineer Emory Cook -- it remained a favorite of the guitarist's throughout his lifetime. The Emory Cook Collection is housed and managed by the Smithsonian and as such, Folkways is able to re-release this ... see all copies from $12.99! new only from $13.70!
