1	Buena Vista Social Club (1997) more music like this by Buena Vista Social Club This album is named after a members-only club that was opened in Havana in pre-Castro times, a period of unbelievable musical activity in Cuba. While bandleader Desi Arnaz became a huge hit in the States, several equally talented musicians never saw success outside their native country, and have had nothing but their music to sustain them during ... see all copies from £6.11! new only from £8.12!
2	Getz/Gilberto (1963) more music like this by Stan Getz/João Gilberto 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 £1.54! new only from £8.66!
3	Caravanserai (1972) more music like this by Santana Drawing on rock, salsa, and jazz, Santana recorded one imaginative, unpredictable gem after another during the 1970s. But Caravanserai is daring even by Santana's high standards. Carlos Santana was obviously very hip to jazz fusion -- something the innovative guitarist provides a generous dose of on the largely instrumental Caravanserai. Whether ... see all copies from £6.96! new only from £7.69!
4	A Winter's Solstice, Vol. 4 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists The latest in Windham Hill's line of classic seasonal collections couples the label's most renowned artists and some of the holiday's mostly beloved music. We hear Alex de Grassi, Oysten Sevag, Turtle Island String Quartet, Will Ackerman, and Nightnoise, among others. The varied performances of these artists paint a perfect accompaniment to ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £5.56!
5	A Winter's Solstice, Vol. 2 (1986) more music like this by Various Artists Depending on the mood you're in, this compilation album will make you dream, smile, or cry a nostalgic tear. It is a typical Windham Hill sampler: wistful, joyful, lush, and lovely. Most songs stick with piano or string instrumentation, and none of them could ever be classified as up-tempo. A few of the tracks, including "The Gift" and "Sung to ... see all copies from £4.87! new only from £5.29!
6	Jazz Samba (1962) more music like this by Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd Partly because of its Brazilian collaborators and partly because of "The Girl From Ipanema," Getz/Gilberto is nearly always acknowledged as the Stan Getz bossa nova LP. But Jazz Samba is just as crucial and groundbreaking; after all, it came first, and in fact was the first full-fledged bossa nova album ever recorded by American jazz musicians. ... see all copies from £3.48! new only from £11.47!
7	At the Village Gate (1961) more music like this by Herbie Mann Remarkably few of flutist Herbie Mann's recordings are available on CD, but fortunately this one did get reissued. Mann's hit version of "Comin' Home Baby" from this live set became his first big hit. Composer Ben Tucker plays second bass on that cut, and Mann's other sidemen include vibraphonist Hagood Hardy, bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik, drummer ... see all copies from £6.96! new only from £7.90!
8	Greatest Hits (1962) more music like this by Vince Guaraldi First released on LP in 1980, this compilation concentrates upon bite-sized samples from Vince Guaraldi's Fantasy catalog. Naturally, Fantasy includes famous tunes like "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" and "Linus and Lucy," but there are also some superb sleepers ("Star Song," Jobim's "Outra Vez") that display Guaraldi's wonderful melodic gift, and ... see all copies from £3.94! new only from £7.45!
9	A Winter's Solstice, Vol. 1: Silver Anniversary Edition (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The classic new age holiday album Winter Solstice, Vol. 1: Silver Anniversary Edition collects smooth, gentle versions of holiday favorites and original pieces by leading lights of the genre, including Jim Brickman, Barbara Higbie, Will Ackerman, and Philip Aaberg. Steve Erquiaga's "Greensleeves," Brickman's "Shades of White," and Tim Story's ... see all copies from £5.29! new only from £5.29!
10	Elis & Tom (1974) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim & Elis Regina This beautiful -- and now legendary -- recording date between iconic Brazilian vocalist Elis Regina and composer, conductor, and arranger Tom Jobim is widely regarded as one of the greatest Brazilian pop recordings. It is nearly ubiquitous among Brazilians as a household item. Regina's voice is among the most loved in the history of Brazilian ... see all copies from £7.39! new only from £7.39!
11 view cover	Still Life (Talking) (1987) more music like this by Pat Metheny Group While Brazilian music had captured Pat Metheny's attention since the '70s, he placed an especially strong emphasis on Brazilian elements in the late '80s. A master of uniting seemingly disparate elements as a cohesive whole, the imaginative guitarist effectively combines Brazilian-influenced harmonies and rhythm with jazz, folk, and pop elements ... see all copies from £3.82! new only from £9.27!
12 view cover	Tango: Zero Hour (1992) more music like this by Astor Piazzolla Considered by Piazzolla to be his best work, 1986's Tango Zero Hour was the culmination of a career that began in Argentina in the 1930s. Piazzolla started out auspiciously enough working with one of the brightest lights of the classic tango era, singer Carlos Gardél. After Gardél's tragic death in 1935 (by turning down an offer to tour with the ... see all copies from £8.44! new only from £11.80!
13 view cover	Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim (1967) more music like this by Frank Sinatra By 1967, bossa nova had become quite popular within jazz and traditional pop audiences, yet Frank Sinatra hadn't attempted any Brazil-influenced material. Sinatra decided to record a full-fledged bossa nova album with the genre's leading composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim. Arranged by Claus Ogerman and featuring Jobim on guitar and backing vocals, ... see all copies from £34.08!
14 view cover	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Ibrahim Ferrer (1999) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer When the Buena Vista Social Club album was released to great acclaim in 1997, it revived the careers of quite a few incredibly talented aging Cuban musicians. Like Ibrahim Ferrer, most of those musicians (who had been legendary in the '40s through the '70s) hadn't been performing professionally in decades. With the success of the Buena Vista ... see all copies from £8.35! new only from £11.65!
15 view cover	Blue Light 'Til Dawn (1993) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson Cassandra Wilson has steadfastly refused to be pigeonholed or confined to any stylistic formula. Her highly anticipated Blue Note debut may stir renewed controversy, as she is once again all over the place. She begins the set with her intriguing version of "You Don't Know What Love Is." Then she moves from two Robert Johnson covers ("Come on in My ... see all copies from £3.12! new only from £7.66!
16 view cover	Talking Timbuktu (1994) more music like this by Ali Farka Touré Guitarist Ali Farka Toure has repeatedly bridged the gap between traditional African and contemporary American vernacular music, and this release continues that tradition. The CD features him singing in 11 languages and playing acoustic and electric guitar, six-string banjo, njarka, and percussion, while teaming smartly with an all-star cast that ... see all copies from £8.35! new only from £11.56!
17 view cover	Mambo Sinuendo (2003) more music like this by Ry Cooder & Manuel Galbán Mambo Sinuendo is a collaboration between Ry Cooder and Buena Vista alum (and formerly of many other groups as well) Manuel Galbán. The album attempts to catch an old style popularized in Cuba by Galbán, and was, surprisingly, never followed up on by anybody after Galbán. It's a guitar-based romp closely based in the pop/jazz crossovers of the ... see all copies from £11.43! new only from £11.43!
18 view cover	Navidad En Las Americas (1994) more music like this by Disney Navidad En Las Americas collects renditions of popular Christmas songs by artists like Lucha Villa, Chayanne, Xuxa, and Pedro Fernandez. Ricky Martin's "Que Hermoso Nino (What Child Is This)," Luis Enrique's "Blanca Navidad (White Christmas)," Tito Puente's "El Tamorilero (The Little Drummer Boy)," and Jose Feliciano's "Noche De Paz (Silent Night) ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £4.87!
19 view cover	Prayer: A Windham Hill Collection (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Prayer adds a layer of spiritualism to the Windham Hill label's foundation of contemplation and relaxation. While it's almost exclusively instrumental, the compilation's mantle of talented players bring reverence through their performances. Steve Erquiaga's solo guitar interpretations of "Ave Maria" and the "23rd Psalm" are emotional pieces that ... see all copies from £8.81! new only from £8.81!
20 view cover	Lagrimas Negras (2004) more music like this by Bebo & Cigala Lágrimas Negras (Black Tears) is a collaborative effort between the octogenarian Cuban piano master Bebo Valdés and the reigning Spanish flamenco cantador, Dieguito El Cigala. Recorded for Fernando Trueba and Nat Chediak's Calle 54 label, the sessions took place in Madrid between September and December 2002. Maestro Valdés (born in 1918), the ... see all copies from £6.09! new only from £6.09!
21 view cover	Chavez Ravine (2005) more music like this by Ry Cooder Three years in the making, Chavez Ravine: A Record by Ry Cooder, is his first "solo" offering since 1987's Get Rhythm. In addition, it is a concept album; but don't be afraid. It documents in mythical style the disappeared Los Angeles neighborhood of Chavez Ravine, a Mexican-American district that fought over by real etate developers, urban ... see all copies from £4.87! new only from £9.74!
22 view cover	Gift of Love: Music Inspired by Rumi Love Poem (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Both celebrities and religious figures contribute to this compilation of music inspired by Rumi poetry.

23 view cover	Wave (1967) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim When Creed Taylor left Verve/MGM for his own label under the auspices of A&M, he quickly signed Antonio Carlos Jobim and they picked up right where they left off with this stunningly seductive record, possibly Jobim's best. Jobim contributes his sparely rhythmic acoustic guitar, simple melodic piano style, a guest turn at the harpsichord, and even ... see all copies from £5.81! new only from £5.81!
24 view cover	New Moon Daughter (1995) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson Singer Cassandra Wilson, who has had a rather diverse career that has ranged from the free funk of M-Base to standards à la Betty Carter, has in recent times adopted a folk-oriented style a little reminiscent of Nina Simone. On New Moon Daughter her repertoire ranges from U2 to Son House, from Hoagy Carmichael to Hank Williams ("I'm So Lonesome I ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £6.25!
25 view cover	Masada (1992) more music like this by Alpha Blondy Côte d'Ivoire-native Alpha Blondy has probably reached more fans internationally than any other reggae artist. That his Jamaican-based style is also heavily infused with African elements certainly helps with mass appreciation worldwide, especially on his own continent and in Europe. Further bolstering his wide appeal, Blondy sings in French, ... see all copies from £5.67! new only from £8.06!
