1	Belafonte at Carnegie Hall (1959) more music like this by Harry Belafonte The granddaddy of all live albums, this double-LP set captures the excitement of a Harry Belafonte concert at the height of his popularity. Sampled from two consecutive performances of identical material, Belafonte at Carnegie Hall was an anomaly at a time when only comedy albums were recorded outside of the studio environment. It wasn't the first ... see all copies from £6.83! new only from £8.96!
2	The Last of the Mohicans (1992) more music like this by Trevor Jones/Randy Edelman A rare pairing of A-list Hollywood composers, The Last of the Mohicans teams Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman, who replaced the former midway through production. The resulting score suffers from the schizophrenia one would expect given its abrupt creative shift, but proves greater than the sum of its parts thanks to a series of impressively epic ... see all copies from £4.03! new only from £11.37!
3	Dance with Me (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to the Vanessa Williams romantic drama Dance with Me predictably contains a number of dance songs, ranging from Latin pop to salsa to slow adult contemporary ballads. There aren't many songs that stand out on the album, but it's a surprisingly consistent and entertaining listen, highlighted by contributions from Gloria Estefan, DLG ... see all copies from £3.38! new only from £8.81!
4	People Take Warning! Murder Ballads & Disaster Songs 1913-1938 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists This three-disc, 70-track (30 of them new to the CD era) collection of murder ballads and disaster songs originally released on commercial 78s between 1913 and 1938 is, in spite of the archaic song structures and often crude sonic qualities on display, strangely contemporary in tone and feel, maybe because we've always been drawn to the scene of ... see all copies from £30.85! new only from £30.85!
5	Voz d'Amor (2003) more music like this by Césaria Évora Césaria Évora, Cape Verde's "barefoot diva," has perfected her native morna style, and with her deep, soft-burred tenor, has gained an international audience for her blues-steeped laments. Voz d'Amor features several mornas, but up-tempo coladeras, as well, most notably the striking "Velocidade," written by Luis Morais, the father of modern Cape ... see all copies from £6.15! new only from £12.48!
6	João Voz e Violão (2000) more music like this by João Gilberto Much to the regret of his fans, João Gilberto did little recording in the 1990s. But he makes a triumphant return to the studio with his 2000 release João Voz e Violão, the bossa nova icon's first album since 1992's João. This time, Gilberto doesn't do anything slick; there are no keyboards or strings, and he steers clear of overdubbing. Gilberto, ... see all copies from £4.10! new only from £12.90!
7	Most Requested Songs (2001) more music like this by Susannah McCorkle There's something incredibly tragic and ironic in the strange reality that finds a beloved jazz singer taking her own life just after compiling a collection of her best loved interpretations. So loved by so many, but perhaps -- as she wrote in her liner notes for her wistful reading of "If I Only Had a Heart" -- she was one of those people who ... see all copies from £6.14! new only from £7.56!
8	The Blair Witch Project: Josh's Blair Witch Mix [Enhanced Disc] (1999) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Josh's Blair Witch Mix is a companion piece to the experimental horror movie The Blair Witch Project. Conceived as a mix tape made by Joshua Leonard, one of the three film students making the Blair Witch documentary, the album features fittingly dark songs by Front Line Assembly, Skinny Puppy, Lydia Lunch and the Afghan Whigs. As a bonus, the CD ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £2.73!
9	The Brasil Project (1992) more music like this by Toots Thielemans This popular set matches the brilliant harmonica player Toots Thielemans with such top Brazilian performers as Ivan Lins, Djavan, Oscar Castro-Neves, Dori Caymmi, Ricardo Silveira, João Bosco, Gilberto Gil, Milton Nascimento, Caetano Veloso, Luiz Bonfá, Edu Lobo and Eliane Elias, in addition to bassist Brian Bromberg, keyboardist Michael Lang, ... see all copies from £4.55! new only from £8.17!
10	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 £6.12! new only from £7.86!
11 view cover	A Day in New York (2003) more music like this by Morelenbaum²/Ryuichi Sakamoto A Day in New York, recorded at the end of a U.S. tour the group made in 2002 in support of the Casa release is, simply, Morelenbaum Squared's live set performed -- live -- in a New York studio. The emphasis, of course, is on songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim, although Caetano Veloso, João Gilberto, and even Ryuichi Sakamoto and Paula Morelenbaum get a ... see all copies from £5.80! new only from £6.44!
12 view cover	Bossa Nova Brasil (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A good various-artists sampler of the modern Brazilian sound, including cuts from contemporary artists like Jorge Ben and Gilberto Gil. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from £6.54! new only from £8.27!
13 view cover	Getz for Lovers (2002) more music like this by Stan Getz This 15-cut collection of Stan Getz ballads runs the gamut from his early bossa hits with João and Astrud Gilberto to his ballad performances with Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, and Jim Hall. These are laid-back, beautifully arranged tracks in superior sound. While it is not a well-rounded collection of Stan Getz material, it is an essential ballads ... see all copies from £5.35! new only from £8.82!
14 view cover	The Rough Guide to the Music of Brazil: Bahia (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Given the well-known music of Rio's Carnaval and its massive samba affairs, Bahia is the next logical step for music producers to take for a compilation of Brazilian music. Bahia is widely (and rightly) regarded as a focal point for Brazilian music, spawning much of the Tropicalia movement, MPB, and the Afro-Brazilian traditions, as well as much ... see all copies from £8.04! new only from £8.87!
15 view cover	Sabia (1990) more music like this by Susannah McCorkle Susannah McCorkle spoke Italian, Spanish, German, and Portuguese in addition to English; she had worked as an interpreter before she devoted herself to singing. On her second Concord CD, McCorkle sang ten Brazilian songs plus "Estate," switching between English, Portuguese, and Italian. There is no communication problem as far as conveying her ... see all copies from £8.45! new only from £8.45!
16 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 £8.28! new only from £8.28!
17 view cover	So Pra Contrariar [Interfone] (1999) more music like this by So Pra Contrariar see all copies from £7.41! new only from £7.41!
18 view cover	Pretty Green Hills (2006) more music like this by Dave Evans It's clear listening to the title cut of Pretty Green Hills that Dave Evans puts lots of country-soul into his vocals. He'll never be confused with the ever growing cadre of male vocalists whose voices sound closer to Garth Brooks than Bill Monroe, and for that, traditionalists will be happy. He's joined by a handful of players and singers -- ... see all copies from £11.16! new only from £11.16!
19 view cover	Life Stories (2006) more music like this by Larry Stephenson There are a number of things to recommend Larry Stephenson's approach to traditional bluegrass, but above them all stands his high and lonesome lead vocals on Life Stories. Whatever his background, his vocal style sounds authentic, leaving the impression that he grew up in the South where he rose early each morning to work on the family farm. The ... see all copies from £10.88! new only from £10.88!
20 view cover	Samba Meu (2007) more music like this by Maria Rita Brazilian MPB star Maria Rita changed direction for her third album, Samba Meu, which, as its title ("My Samba") makes clear, is a samba collection. As on her previous albums, the warmly received Maria Rita (2003) and Segundo (2005), the musical arrangements are acoustic and jazzy, with first-rate production quality. Also like her previous albums, ... see all copies from £12.64! new only from £12.64!
21 view cover	Simplesmente (1990) more music like this by Maria Bethânia see all copies from £6.80!
22 view cover	Dreams of a World (2000) more music like this by Sharon Isbin see all copies from £5.26! new only from £9.12!
23 view cover	Somebody Told the Truth (2002) more music like this by Cephas & Wiggins The acoustic duo's first album in three years doesn't substantially alter the twosome's established game plan. But its well-recorded mix of studio and live tracks -- including one with a full yet laid-back band -- shows them to be at the top of their form. Combining traditional Delta and Piedmont blues and gospel classics like Robert Johnson's ... see all copies from £11.42! new only from £11.42!
24 view cover	Symphonic Jobim (2005) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim Antonio Carlos Jobim as a symphonic composer? Jobim, arguably the finest songwriter of the 1960s and the founder of bossa nova, was classically trained and wrote some pieces along the way for a string orchestra. In addition to his arrangements, his compositions were arranged for an orchestra by the likes of Claus Ogerman, Nelson Riddle, Eumir ... see all copies from £16.12! new only from £16.12!
25 view cover	The Complete Mercury Recordings (2003) more music like this by Flatt & Scruggs In what basically amounts to a reissue of 1992's similarly titled Complete Mercury Sessions, Universal's Complete Mercury Recordings has improved upon the original by putting the songs in chronological order and including terrific liner notes by folk historian Mary Katherine Aldin. While both Flatt & Scruggs releases include the early classics ... see all copies from £7.97! new only from £11.22!
