1	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 $9.01! new only from $9.01!
2	Jazz Moods: Brazilian Romance (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Jazz Moods: Brazilian Romance creates a cool, lilting bossa nova atmosphere underpinned by sensuous rhythms that help set the mood suggested by the title. As you might expect, there's no shortage of Antonio Carlos Jobim compositions, but there's also plenty of variety in source material. Highlights of the sampler include Charlie Byrd and Ken ... see all copies from $7.61! new only from $7.61!
3	Doris Day's Sentimental Journey/Latin for Lovers (2001) more music like this by Doris Day Doris Day's Sentimental Journey/Latin for Lovers is comprised of two mid-'60s LPs, the first a look back at Day's mid-'40s prime, the second a studied glance at the then-current vogue for Latin material that overtook dozens of other vocalists (among the best were contributions by Peggy Lee and Mel Tormé). As the genre proved for most traditional ... see all copies from $6.58! new only from $6.58!
4	The Composer of Desafinado, Plays (1963) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim In his first American album, Antonio Carlos Jobim presents a dozen of his songs, each one destined to become a standard -- an astounding batting average. Jobim, who claimed to have been out of practice at the time of the session, merely plays single notes on the piano with one hand, punctuated by chords now and then, sticking to his long, ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $14.38!
5	A Warm Shade of Ivory (1969) more music like this by Henry Mancini A Warm Shade of Ivory is an interesting departure for composer/arranger Henry Mancini. The album focuses on his skill as a piano soloist, although he fills some of his usual roles as well, since he also wrote the arrangements. He had a hand in composing only one melody, "Moment to Moment," and instead concerned himself with interpreting other ... see all copies from $10.00!
6	The Bossa Nova Years (1991) more music like this by Charlie Byrd Trio Guitarist Charlie Byrd revisits a variety of bossa nova songs, including nine by Antonio Carlos Jobim on this pleasing and accessible set. What makes this CD stand out from his many similar dates is that Ken Peplowski's clarinet and tenor are well featured, adding variety to the music and a lead voice for Byrd to play off of. Otherwise the music ... see all copies from $8.75! new only from $10.06!
7	The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album (1991) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto Astrud Gilberto has never been properly anthologized by Verve Records; although they've released a number of compilations over the years, none of them have been definitive, and most of them have been rather skimpy. 1987's The Silver Collection, originally released only in Europe but later imported to North America, is an idiosyncratic selection. ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $10.14!
8	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 $9.91! new only from $9.91!
9	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!
10	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!
11 view cover	Brazil (2000) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney & John Pizzarelli As one of the most loved jazz vocalists, modern jazz heroines, and prolific vocalists, Rosemary Clooney gives a very beautiful and feminine side to Brazilian jazz on Brazil, a sensitive musical feeling of 16 ripe standards. This wonderful collection is dedicated to Antonio Carlos Jobim, Frank Sinatra, and Nelson Riddle through her amazing ambience ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
12 view cover	Pure Brazil: Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.65! new only from $9.65!
13 view cover	Soul Espanõl (1966) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Oscar Peterson augmented his regular working trio of the time (bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes) with Henley Gibson on congas, Marshall Thompson on timbales, and Harold Jones as an added percussionist for this release, which focuses mostly on the music of Brazilian composers (so the title Soul Espanõl is a bit misleading). With the surge ... see all copies from $7.88! new only from $7.88!
14 view cover	Collectables Classics [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by Vic Damone Vic Damone's Collectables Classics box set brings together seven of the vocalist's better-known albums. Compiled on four discs are Stay with Me, Why Can't I Walk Away, That Towering Feeling!, On the Swingin' Side, Closer Than a Kiss, This Game of Love, and the romantic collection Love Songs. Matt Collar, All Music Guide see all copies from $43.53! new only from $43.53!
15 view cover	Personalidade (1991) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim see all copies from $7.95! new only from $10.14!
16 view cover	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!
17 view cover	Rio After Dark (1989) more music like this by Ana Caram In stylistic terms, large portions of Ana Caram's first U.S. album could easily have been recorded in 1962; it's as if time had stood perfectly still since "Desafinado" became a hit. Yet this is all to the good for this Antonio Carlos Jobim protegé, who can comfortably give material by the more contemporary writer Djavan, and even Carole King's ... see all copies from $6.25! new only from $16.59!
18 view cover	Live from New York to Tokyo (2003) more music like this by Ray Brown This two-fer reissue combines two live albums released by the Ray Brown Trio in the 1980s, The Red Hot Ray Brown Trio, featuring pianist Gene Harris and drummer Mickey Roker along with bassist Brown, recorded at the Blue Note nightclub in New York in November and December 1985, and Bam Bam Bam, with the trio consisting of Brown, Harris, and ... see all copies from $7.55! new only from $9.23!
19 view cover	Getz/Gilberto #2 [Bonus Tracks] (1993) more music like this by Stan Getz/Joao Gilberto Justifiably overshadowed by the peerless Getz/Gilberto album (which featured "Girl From Ipanema") from a year before, Getz/Gilberto #2 still holds its own with an appealing selection of fine jazz and bossa nova cuts. Unlike the first album's seamless collaboration by Getz, Joao Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto, and Antonio Carlos Jobim, here Getz and ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
20 view cover	Laid Back Lounging (2000) more music like this by Van Craven see all copies from $4.95! new only from $11.49!
21 view cover	With Love (1980) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Rosemary Clooney sings both old and new songs on this 1980 Concord album. With the emphasis on ballads (including "Just the Way You are," "The Way We Were," "Hello Young Lovers" and "Tenderly"), there is less variety on this set than usual although a swinging rendition of "Will You Still Be Mine" is a fine closer. Clooney is heard in prime voice ... see all copies from $9.90! new only from $22.86!
22 view cover	The Best of the Concord Years (2003) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney The fact that one of the most successful pop singers of the '50s went on to become one of the most acclaimed jazz singers of the '80s and '90s shouldn't be marked up to the simple attrition of the WWII generation of jazz vocalists. Rosemary Clooney was comfortable (and skilled) singing in many different circumstances, and the fact that she could ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
23 view cover	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!
24 view cover	Byrd by the Sea (1974) more music like this by Charlie Byrd Mild, smooth trio date with Byrd playing light jazz, occasional Afro-Latin, and even a mock classical number, backed by bassist Joe Byrd and drummer Bertell Knox. This sometimes comes close to, but never becomes, mood music. The 2000 reissue approximately doubles the length of the original release with seven previously unissued tracks (none ... see all copies from $9.91! new only from $9.91!
25 view cover	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!
