1	Revisited Classics (1999) more music like this by Bossacucanova Young and old bossa nova musicians meet in the middle on this engaging attempt to embrace the familiar tunes through the miracle of modern technology -- in other words, they've been doctored by three young DJs: Alexandre Moreira, DJ Marcelinho DaLua and Márcio Menescal (son of original bossa nova musician Roberto Menescal). Revisited Classics ... see all copies from $5.80! new only from $5.80!
2	Here to Stay: Gershwin and Jobim (2007) more music like this by BR6 Let's be honest: a cappella performances are a tough sell in the jazz world. Jazz enthusiasts love their saxophones, trumpets, and pianos, and most of them are reluctant to do without musical instruments for even 30 minutes or an hour. But a cappella artists have accomplished some great things over the years; Take 6 and the Persuasions, both R&B ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $14.52!
3	Brazilian Byrd (1964) more music like this by Charlie Byrd The arrangements by Tommy Newsom for strings, brass, and woodwinds may be a bit sweet and the 13 performances (which on the CD reissue include a previously unreleased take of "Engano") may be overly concise (often under three minutes), but the resulting music is strangely pleasing. Acoustic guitarist Charlie Byrd always had a strong affinity for ... see all copies from $5.27! new only from $5.27!
4	First Lady of Song (1993) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This attractive three-CD set gives listeners an overview of Ella Fitzgerald's Verve recordings, although the inclusion of seven previously unissued cuts (in addition to 44 that are mostly available in more complete form elsewhere) will frustrate some completists. However the careful selection of representative performances along with the ... see all copies from $17.98! new only from $43.96!
5	Brazilian Classics (2003) more music like this by Eliane Elias Featuring tracks culled from eight of her albums, beginning fittingly enough with 1989's Eliane Elias Plays Jobim, Blue Note has compiled a strong collection of pianist Eliane Elias' Brazilian jazz cuts on Brazilian Classics. Elias' classically influenced touch is evident here on such standards as Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Chega de Saudade" and "One ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
6	Pure Bossa Nova (2006) more music like this by Tamba Trio No one can argue that this collection of cuts by Brazil's Tamba Trio isn't a welcome one. It contains 14 tracks from albums recorded between 1962 and 1964, when the group was riding high in its native country and breaking through in Europe, Japan, and the United States (the latter to a lesser agree). The Tamba Trio featured pianist Luizinho Eça, ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
7	Jobim Jazz (2007) more music like this by Mario Adnet Although we often think of Antonio Carlos Jobim's bossa nova material as a kind of jazz, it isn't really, although he was familiar with the genre and often used its inflections and moods. With this album, however, Jobim definitely becomes jazzy. Guitarist Mario Adnet set out to do two things -- keep the Brazilian roots of the music faithfully ... see all copies from $14.26! new only from $14.26!
8	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 $6.45! new only from $10.14!
9	Bossa Nova/Jazz Waltz (2002) more music like this by Shorty Rogers Not long before he took an extended breather from the jazz life, Shorty Rogers cut these two albums for Frank Sinatra's then-new Reprise label. Out of print for decades, both Bossa Nova and Jazz Waltz feature Rogers' smart big band arrangements, supple horn playing, and the finest cool jazz musicians on the West Coast. Bossa Nova retrofits the ... see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
10	Softly! (1965) more music like this by Wanda De Sah Although she was already a veteran songwriter and recording artist, Wanda de Sah was pegged as "the new thing" by American marketing executives during her stint in Sergio Mendes' first pop incarnation, Brazil '65. Although that group wasn't popular -- it was actually a new collective, Brazil '66, that gained fame -- she was soon signed by ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $8.79!

14 view cover	Bossa Nova Sua Historia Sua Gente (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Every fan is going to have their own nitpick fest with any collection that professes to be a history of the bossa nova on record -- it cannot be avoided. So have no illusions with the choices on this double-CD package put out by Philips' Brazil division. That said, with 36 tracks and every major artist from the music's origins and virtually every ... see all copies from $18.88! new only from $18.88!

19 view cover	Brasil '65/Softly! (2008) more music like this by Wanda de Sah The great incontrovertible truth of Brazilian vocalists in the '60s is that the more global success they enjoyed, the weaker and more insubstantial their voices. (As a test, simply compare and contrast the chart-topper Astrud Gilberto with the chart-absent Elis Regina.) Wanda de Sah was quite popular, which says most of what you need to know about ... see all copies from $15.40! new only from $15.40!

23 view cover	The Miraculous Tambo Trio (2008) more music like this by Tambo Trio During the '60s, Brazil was positively littered with excellent musicians, but few had the precision and innovative flair of pianist Luíz Eça, and none came together in a distinct group quite so well as Tamba Trio. The Miraculous Tamba Trio draws from four of Tamba Trio's '60s albums, including the majority of the first three. (The fact that it ... see all copies from $18.18! new only from $18.18!
