1	The Diva Series (2003) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto Astrud Gilberto, the Brazilian canary with the voice like honey and diction that defied belief, has been compiled many times on Verve, but rarely as well as on her entry in 2003's The Diva Series. A 21-track of her prime decade, the '60s, this one includes all of the classics associated with her: "The Girl From Ipanema," "Agua de Beber," ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
2	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 $6.92! new only from $6.92!
3	The Bossa Nova Years (Girl from Ipanema) (1962) more music like this by Stan Getz This five-LP box set (which has been reissued on CD) contains nearly all of Stan Getz's classic bossa nova sessions, five wonderful yet diverse LPs (Jazz Samba, Big Band Bossa Nova, Jazz Samba Encore, Stan Getz/Laurindo Almedia, and Getz/Gilberto). The cool-toned tenor is heard on his groundbreaking collaboration with guitarist Charlie Byrd (which ... see all copies from $30.00!
4	Getz Au Go Go [Reissue] (2007) more music like this by The New Stan Getz Quartet/Astrud Gilberto Although the name Stan Getz (tenor sax) was initially synonymous with the West Coast cool scene during the mid-to-late 1950s, he likewise became a key component in the Bossa Nova craze of the early 1960s. Along with Astrud Gilberto (vocals), Getz scored a genre-defining hit with the "Girl From Ipanema," extracted from the equally lauded Getz ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
5	Some Enchanted Evening (2007) more music like this by Art Garfunkel There is a strangeness that is nearly otherworldly in hearing Art Garfunkel -- half of one of the most enduring duo's in rock's history books -- singing pop standards. Garfunkel was primarily a harmony vocalist in his duo with Paul Simon, but it was that voice that added authority and excitement to their recordings. His own solo records have been ... see all copies from $9.98! new only from $16.85!
6	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 $4.69! new only from $10.29!
7	Stan Getz & Antonio Carlos Jobim: Their Greatest Hits (2007) more music like this by Stan Getz/Antonio Carlos Jobim Compiling all the major hits that legendary jazz alto saxophonist Stan Getz had with Brazilian songwriter and vocalist Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stan Getz/Antonio Carlos Jobim: Their Greatest Hits is a nice single-disc collection. While there are deeper double-disc anthologies available, Their Greatest Hits is a perfect summation of what made the '60s ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
8	Terra Brasilis (1980) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim In some ways, this is a strategic retreat for Antonio Carlos Jobim after the classical departures of the '70s -- a retrospective of past triumphs, including some of the most trod-upon standards ("Ipanema," "Desafinado," "One-Note Samba," etc.), with Claus Ogerman again at hand. But these are thoughtful retoolings, some subtle, some radical, ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.20!
9	Bossa Nova for Lovers (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The bossa nova is tailor-made for romance with its languid rhythms, smooth and easy melodies, and intimate, sexy vocals. Bossa Nova for Lovers is 16 tracks of classic '60s bossa nova from Verve. The collection features a good mix of vocal tracks and instrumentals. On the vocal side there are five Astrud Gilberto songs including one from the record ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
10	Ella Abraca Jobim (1980) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald see all copies from $5.59! new only from $10.29!
11 view cover	The Latin Sound of Henry Mancini (1965) more music like this by Henry Mancini see all copies from $7.00! new only from $20.00!
12 view cover	The Essential Stan Getz: The Getz Songbook (1992) more music like this by Stan Getz Aside from the rather horrid Bevis & Butthead cartoon rendering on the album cover, this is a tasteful compilation of tenor saxophonist Stan Getz in his mellower mood. Seven of the tracks are ballads, two of those with a big band and strings, while ten are small-group sessions. Also included are three of his premier Brazilian numbers: "Bahia," ... see all copies from $5.87! new only from $10.29!
13 view cover	Getz Plays Jobim: The Girl from Ipanema (2002) more music like this by Stan Getz Simply put, here are the most successful 14 cuts covering two years in the collaboration between Stan Getz and Antonio Carlos Jobim, during which both men became accustomed to having hit singles. Unfortunately, only one of them got to ride that horse for the rest of the decade -- in the United States, anyway. Nonetheless, this material marks the ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $10.29!
14 view cover	The Lady Wants to Know (1994) more music like this by Laura Fygi Singer Laura Fygi is in excellent form on this set of bossa novas. Due to the sweetening of a string section and some safe arrangements, the music is quite accessible, if not too challenging. Fygi's voice is lovely and she could excel in a much more sparse setting in the future if given the opportunity. She is ably assisted by a variety of guests, ... see all copies from $8.54! new only from $10.50!
15 view cover	The Ultimate Sarah Vaughan (1997) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan Dee Dee Bridgewater compiled The Ultimate Sarah Vaughan, a 16-track selection of her best-known songs that offers an excellent introduction to her Verve recordings. Although purists and collectors will have little use for this set, it suits the purposes of neophytes and curious listeners quite well. Among the highlights are "The Sweetest Sounds," ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
16 view cover	Astrud for Lovers (2004) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto Astrud for Lovers is a strong collection of love songs performed by Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto. Her wispy and melancholic vocals are featured in a variety of settings recorded between 1963 and 1969 for Verve. The earliest tune, "Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)," is taken from the legendary Getz/Gilberto album that marked Astrud's ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
17 view cover	Late Night Jazz [Rebound] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Rebound Records, not noted for its forays into jazz, has put together an entertaining compilation of cuts from the vaults of the Verve and Mercury labels. The roster of musicians reads like a who's who of jazz from the late '40s through the '60s. A variety of jazz styles are represented as well, from the Stan Getz/João Gilberto/Astrud Gilberto ... see all copies from $3.19! new only from $3.19!
18 view cover	16 Biggest Hits (2000) more music like this by Andy Williams Determining the "16 biggest hits" of most recording artists isn't much of a challenge, but a couple of factors complicate such a task in the case of Andy Williams. For one thing, Williams scored different kinds of hits at different periods in his career. In the 1950s, he had a handful of Top Ten pop hits in styles ranging from light rock & roll to ... see all copies from $7.68! new only from $7.68!
19 view cover	My Love Forgive Me/Sincerely Yours... (1997) more music like this by Robert Goulet Two of Robert Goulet's best early albums, My Love Forgive Me and Sincerely Yours, were combined on this single-CD reissue by Collectables. Although the sound and the packaging could be a little better, this still is a fine way for collectors to pick up these two records on disc. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!
20 view cover	Getz/Gilberto [Super Audio CD] (2002) more music like this by Stan Getz 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 $10.17! new only from $11.25!
21 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 53: Bossa Nova (1962) more music like this by Stan Getz As an entryway into Stan Getz's mid-'60s bossa nova output, this is neither as comprehensive as the four-CD set The Bossa Nova Years, nor as satisfying as the original albums in terms of sequencing and mood. It is, however, acceptable as a sampler to the newcomer, who in any event can re-program the order by grouping together the tracks from each ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
22 view cover	Friendly Fire (2001) more music like this by Tommy Newsom Tommy Newsom spent such a long time in the Tonight Show Orchestra that jazz fans overlook his contributions. Finally recording regularly as a leader at the dawn of the 21st century, this solidly swinging tenor saxophonist has plenty to say on this studio session, which covers the music of several decades. Joined by veteran valve trombonist Bob ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.24!
23 view cover	Romance [Box Set] (2002) more music like this by Frank Sinatra see all copies from $8.50! new only from $21.75!
24 view cover	More Themes for Young Lovers/Latin Themes for Young Lovers (2002) more music like this by Percy Faith This two-fer CD combines Percy Faith's 1964 album (More Themes for Young Lovers) and the follow-up (Latin Themes for Young Lovers). These LPs were originally released on Columbia Records and had been out of print until being reissued in 2003 on Collectables. This pleasant set includes familiar songs like "Wives and Lovers," "Spanish Harlem," ... see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!
25 view cover	Wave: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook (1962) more music like this by Various Artists The sequel to the popular The Girl from Ipanema anthology basically reshuffles the deck, duplicating nine of the earlier CD's songs and adding six new ones, using mostly the same performers with a few additions. The new wrinkle is that the artists perform different tunes, a game that one imagines could be continued indefinitely on future issues. ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
