 | Stone Flower by Antonio Carlos Jobim
Buy used from: $4.99 Antonio Carlos Jobim at his best. Recommended: The entire album, especially "Brazil" and "Children's Games"
|
 | Wave by Antonio Carlos Jobim
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.85 Jobim has composed some of the most beautiful melodies in this genre. Frankly I like it better without his vocal...
|
 | Brazilian Byrd by Charlie Byrd
Buy used from: $3.75 An indispensable album. One of the finest renditions of "The Girl From Ipanema" I've ever heard.
|
 | Jazz 'Round Midnight: Bossa Nova by Stan Getz
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $1.99 Not usual to include a compilation album on my top 5 - and yet this was the very first bossa nova album I own, which became part of my personal history.
|
 | Antonio Brasilero by Antonio Carlos Jobim
Buy used from: $13.16 Yes it's the superlative Jobim again. Contains some of the loveliest tunes: "So Danco Samba", "Querida", "Samba De Maria Luiza", to name but a few.
|
 | The Silver Collection: The Astrud Gilberto Album by Astrud Gilberto
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $2.42 This list will not be complete without Astrud Gilberto. Everyone should be able to pick a personal favorite from this collection. The classic "The Girl from Ipanema" is, sadly, missing.
|
 | Selection Of Joao & Astrud Gilberto by Joao Gilberto
A very pleasant collection. Please note that the tracks listed on the Amazon page are incorrect. Recommended tracks include "It might as well be spring", "Bim Bom" and many others.
|
 | Non-Stop to Brazil by Luiz Bonfá
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $6.87 The only album in the list that I don't currently own.
|
 | Girl Meets Bossanova
A lesser-known Asian female vocal with a great voice. Highlights: "Fly Me to the Moon", "Meditation", "My Favorite Things", etc. Check out her 2nd album as well.
|
 | Jobim by Antonio Carlos Jobim
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.18 I can never say enough good things about Jobim's music. This is my latest collection of his works, hence the No.10 ranking. With repeated listenings one will certainly love it even more.
