Astrud Gilberto's Finest Hour

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 ...

Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve

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 ...

The In Crowd

The In Crowd (1965) more music like this

by Ramsey Lewis Trio

Ramsey Lewis staked his claim to fame with The In Crowd, the instrumental version of Dobie Gray's Top 40 hit. He also was one of the first soul-jazz icons of the mid-'60s, based on the strength of the sales of this recording, done over three days during a club date at the Bohemian Caverns in Washington, DC. Over the years, the biggest question ...

Maria Bethania Sings the Vinicius de Moraes Songbook

Maria Bethania Sings the Vinicius de Moraes Songbook (2006) more music like this

by Maria Bethânia

Even after four decades as one of Brazil's top female vocalists, Maria Bethânia is still known outside of her homeland primarily as the sister of Caetano Veloso, arguably Brazil's most renowned popular singer during those same decades. At least part of the reason Bethânia has stayed under the radar (other than the fact that her music has rarely ...

Released to coincide with Hugh Masekela's autobiography of the same name, Still Grazing picks up the Masekela story from Verve's summary of the best of the MGM albums, The Lasting Impression of Ooga-Booga, and runs through the Uni and Blue Thumb material.

Symphonic Jobim (2005) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Antonio Carlos Jobim as a symphonic composer? Jobim, arguably the finest songwriter of the 1960s and the founder of bossa nova, was classically trained and wrote some pieces along the way for a string orchestra. In addition to his arrangements, his compositions were arranged for an orchestra by the likes of Claus Ogerman, Nelson Riddle, Eumir ...

Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum (2000) more music like this

by Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum

The Jobim in Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum isn't the late Antonio Carlos Jobim, who was rightly exalted as "The George Gershwin of Brazil" and wrote such well known standards as "Wave," "The Girl from Ipanema," "Chega de Saudade (No More Blues)," "One Note Samba," and "Triste." However, this Brazilian foursome does boast two of Jobim's relatives, ...

Live at the Blue Note (2006) more music like this

by Gal Costa

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 ...

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 Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim (1965) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Unlike his debut, Jobim's second LP for the American market was strictly a pop album, with the composer himself singing, while the arranging/conducting chores were placed in the capable hands of Nelson Riddle. What promises to be an excellent collaboration, however, doesn't quite turn out, and the results are much more bland than could be expected ...

Susannah McCorkle spoke Italian, Spanish, German, and Portuguese in addition to English; she had worked as an interpreter before she devoted herself to singing.

Brazilian Rhapsody (1993) more music like this

by Lee Konitz & Brazilian Band

This CD focuses primarily on Brazilian standards performed by the Konitz sextet, except for the Brazilian-flavored "Lunasea," written by Peggy Stern, which features her high school choir. "Berimbau" is swinging and percussive, while the well-known "Insensatez" takes many unexpected turns. "Triste" is also a familiar theme played with relish. ...

Silva (2005) more music like this

by Vinicius Cantuaria

Vinicius Cantuária has provided evidence through a string of fine recordings that not only is the bossa nova not dead or merely fashionably retro, but is a viable music form for exploration and expansion. Horse & Fish moved samba toward new heights atmospherically and compositionally, and his arrangement of some of the classics was both brave and ...

When the listening world begins to reflect on the beauty of bossa nova, they dare not forget the achievements of Portugal's Antonio Carlos Jobim, short for Antonio Carlos Brasileiro de Almedia Jobim. This unique musician and composer brought a new revolution of sound and soul to the Latin American public, and is well known for introducing the ...

Antonio Carlos Jobim and Friends (1996) more music like this

by Antonio Carlos Jobim

Jobim made his last Brazilian concert appearance -- and the penultimate one of his life -- at this warm, star-studded affair in which American jazz musicians jetted down to the Free Jazz Festival in São Paulo to pay effusive homage. The miracle is how easily the jazzers were able to capture the yearning essence of Jobim's idiom without really ...

No Frills (2006) more music like this

On No Frills, his fourth studio album (the first two coming in the late '50s), Lyle Ritz makes use of both of his instruments for the first time, being a master of the jazz ukulele but also a regarded sessionman on bass. This album marks the move toward the contemporary in technique, recorded in a spare room on a laptop with the bass added in on a ...
