1	Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim Verve continues their Finest Hour series with Antonio Carlos Jobim's Finest Hour, a 17-song collection highlighting the bossa nova pioneer's singing and songwriting. "Insensatez," "Corcovado," "The Girl From Ipanema," "Desafinado," and other definitive tracks make this set entertaining, if not comprehensive. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.95! new only from $8.06!
2	Compact Jazz: Best of Bossa Nova (1987) more music like this by Various Artists Ah, boss nova American style: a sea of white dinner jackets shimmying to Getz, poolside. Beyond images from many a bossa soundtracked ‘60s movie, though, the music itself was something to behold. Teaching jazz a bit more about it's already graceful mien, bossa nova found its most regal stateside purveyor in Stan Getz. Getz's classic work with both ... see all copies from $5.90!
3	Bossa Nova Pelos Passaros (1962) more music like this by Charlie Byrd Having been a major part of Stan Getz's very popular Jazz Samba album, it was only fitting that guitarist Charlie Byrd would start recording his own bossa nova records. This CD reissue brings back the 12 songs originally on the Riverside LP Bossa Nova Pelos Passaros plus six of the 11 tunes from Once More! Bossa Nova. Byrd and his trio (which ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.39!
4	The Riverside Sampler [OJC] (2002) more music like this by Various Artists In 2002, Fantasy reached again into its vast jazz archives -- the biggest in the world at the time -- and pulled out six samplers from the labels which it has purchased over the years. Riverside, of course, had already been thoroughly mined in the four-disc Riverside Records Story box set, but this single CD duplicates only four tracks (out of 17) ... see all copies from $6.30!
5	Personalidade (1991) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim see all copies from $7.95! new only from $10.14!
6	Quiet Now: Nights of Quiet Stars (1999) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim Antonio Carlos Jobim's Quiet Now: Nights of Quiet Stars is probably the most successful entry in this series of Polygram reissues, because the Brazilian composer's music is so blissfully suited to compilations that focus on the gentle, romantic side of jazz. Perhaps it's his sleepy, low-key voice, which makes Perry Como sound like Darby Crash, or ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $9.46!
7	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, ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
8	Plays Jobim (2002) more music like this by Charlie Byrd When guitarist Charlie Byrd scored big on Stan Getz's Jazz Samba in 1962, he found a niche that served him well for the next 35 years. Byrd, however, no more invented bossa nova than Getz. Instead, both men proved masterful interpreters of a music defined by composers like Antonio Carlos Jobim. Plays Jobim represents a marriage of style and vision ... see all copies from $9.61! new only from $9.61!
9	Cal Tjader Plays the Contemporary Music of Mexico and Brasil (1962) more music like this by Cal Tjader This 1962 set by Cal Tjader, recorded at the beginning of the bossa nova craze in the United States (released in the same year and on the same label as the smash Jazz Samba by Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd), has one of the most boring titles imaginable -- which doesn't begin to describe the laid-back yet magical innovations in the grooves. Produced ... see all copies from $9.39! new only from $9.39!
10	Jazz 'Round Midnight: Antonio Carlos Jobim (1998) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim Jazz 'Round Midnight is an enjoyable budget-priced sampler of 14 songs from Antonio Carlos Jobim's stint at Verve. While this collection is hardly definitive, it is quite enjoyable, sporting an appealingly low-key, seductive atmosphere and several dynamite performances, including versions of "Passarim," "Amor Em Paz (Once I Loved)," "So danco ... see all copies from $9.69! new only from $9.69!
11 view cover	Desafinado (1997) more music like this by Camila Benson see all copies from $16.90! new only from $16.90!
12 view cover	Bossa Brass (1989) more music like this by Sambas see all copies from $1.99!

14	Gilberto and Jobim (1960) more music like this by João Gilberto The back cover of this Capitol LP claims "Here's the album that started it all," and to an extent that is true. A year before Stan Getz first met up with Charlie Byrd to launch bossa nova in the United States, Joao Gilberto (with backing by an orchestra led by Antonio Carlos Jobim) recorded a dozen bossa nova performances, including "One Note ... see all copies from $7.49!
