1	Trav'lin' Light (2007) more music like this by Queen Latifah Trav'lin' Light, Queen Latifah's follow-up to her first collection of pop standards, The Dana Owens Album (2004), is, if anything, even better than that Grammy-nominated set. Contemporary performers often get into trouble when they take on music of the pre-rock era, but this one, who is by now so far removed from her origins that she probably ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $11.21!
2	Wedding Album (1976) more music like this by Leon Russell see all copies from $10.28! new only from $10.28!
3	Ultimate Collection (2006) more music like this by Vikki Carr see all copies from $8.15! new only from $8.15!
4	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!
5	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 $9.56! new only from $9.56!
6	Cannonball's Bossa Nova (1962) more music like this by Julian "Cannonball" Adderley With The Bossa Rio Sextet Of Brazil see all copies from $8.29! new only from $11.13!
7	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 $1.99! new only from $2.98!
8	May I Come In? (1964) more music like this by Blossom Dearie Pianist/vocalist Blossom Dearie's lone Capitol session is probably her best-known album. Backed by an unidentified orchestra, Dearie sings concise versions of a dozen songs, all of which clock in under three minutes. Her small and cutesy voice will not appeal to all listeners, but she has long had a cult following. Highlights include "I'm in Love ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
9	Back to Back: Their Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by Tom Jones & Engelbert Humperdinck Back to Back includes eight Tom Jones hits ("What's New Pussycat," "It's Not Unusual") with eight hits by Humperdinck ("Release Me," "There Goes My Everything"). Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	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 $9.91! new only from $9.91!
11 view cover	Girl from Ipanema: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook (1962) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim The first of several tribute albums issued just after Antonio Carlos Jobim's death, this one generally sticks to his most famous songs as interpreted by several Brazilian and American artists from PolyGram's archives. Jobim himself appears on such obvious choices as the best-selling Stan Getz, João Gilberto, and Astrud Gilberto hit "The Girl from ... see all copies from $9.61! new only from $9.61!
12 view cover	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!
13 view cover	Something Special for Young Lovers (1964) more music like this by Ray Charles Singers While the name may remain the same, this Ray Charles has no connections whatsoever to the R&B legend of "Georgia on My Mind" and "What'd I Say" fame. Instead -- and by quite a contrast -- Charles Raymond Offenberg was primarily known for his easy listening and lush adult-oriented remakes of standards from the first half of the 20th century. The ... see all copies from $9.54! new only from $9.54!
14 view cover	Next Stop Wonderland (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack For the film Next Stop Wonderland, director Brad Anderson hit upon the idea of using Brazilian music to color the background of a searching-for-love tale. So this soundtrack album combines original music by Claudio Ragazzi with new recordings of the standards by Bebel Gilberto and Vinicius Cantuaria and various scraps, often obscure ones, from ... see all copies from $4.39! new only from $11.15!
15 view cover	We Get Requests (1964) more music like this by Oscar Peterson see all copies from $4.59! new only from $16.81!
16 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 $3.49! new only from $9.61!
17 view cover	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 $4.41! new only from $9.20!
18 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 $7.95! new only from $9.72!
19 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 $7.34! new only from $7.34!
20 view cover	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 $4.29! new only from $7.50!
21 view cover	Bossa Nova [Original Soundtrack] (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Appropriately enough, the original soundtrack to Bossa Nova mixes classic bossa nova by Antonio Carlos Jobim with an original score by Eumir Deodato of the fusion group Deodato. "Wave," "The Girl From Ipanema," "Corcovado," "Aguas de Marco," and "Inutil Paisagem" are some of the Jobim standards included on this sophisticated and romantic ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.09!
22 view cover	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 $4.41! new only from $9.86!
23 view cover	Ella Abraca Jobim (1980) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald see all copies from $8.98! new only from $9.61!
24 view cover	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!
25 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 $4.38! new only from $9.47!
