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	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!
3	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!
4	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!
5	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!
6	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!
7	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!
8	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!
9	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!
10	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!
11 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!
12 view cover	Ella Abraca Jobim (1980) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald see all copies from $8.98! new only from $9.61!
13 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!
14 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!
15 view cover	Jazz 'Round Midnight: Astrud Gilberto (1996) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto see all copies from $10.06! new only from $10.06!
16 view cover	Warm and Willing/Newest Hits (2002) more music like this by Andy Williams As welcome as Collectables' modestly priced two-fer CD reissues of Andy Williams' original LPs are to Williams fans, the label's decisions about which albums to couple are sometimes curious. Here is a good case in point. Warm and Willing was Williams' third Columbia Records LP, recorded in the spring of 1962. It consists largely of pop standards ... see all copies from $7.04! new only from $7.04!
17 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 $9.92! new only from $9.92!
18 view cover	The Essential Sarah Vaughan: The Great Songs (1992) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan Drawn from Sarah Vaughan's first round with Mercury Records (and its EmArcy Records subsidiary) between 1954 and 1964, this fine selection features the singer in a variety of settings ranging from intimate trios to bopping big bands and smooth, silky orchestras, all of it showcasing Vaughan's lush tone and playful phrasing. Among the many ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $6.38!
19 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 $10.13! new only from $10.13!
20 view cover	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!
21 view cover	Music to Shag By (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Music to Shag By is an impressive budget collection of breezy '60s pop and soul, with an irresistible cast including Serge Gainsbourg ("Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus"), Jack Jones ("Wives and Lovers"), the Turtles ("You Showed Me"), Dusty Springfield ("The Look of Love"), the Troggs ("Love Is All Around"), and Tom Jones ("Without Love There Is Nothing" ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $3.60!
22 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Astrud Gilberto (2005) more music like this by Astrud Gilberto The discount-priced compilation 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Astrud Gilberto is a reasonable highlights disc drawn from Gilberto's recordings for Verve Records originally released between 1964 and 1967, her period of greatest visibility in the U.S. About the length of an old LP, the 12-track set of course includes ... see all copies from $8.34! new only from $8.34!
23 view cover	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 $7.99! new only from $9.36!
24 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!
25 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 $19.16!
