Summary: Better Bossa Nova collections out there
Comment: I haven't had much luck with trying to get good Brazilian music lately. This is just ok, not the type of Bossa Nova that you would usually think about with Brazil.

Summary: Enjoyable rhythms
Comment: I usually approach Brazilian music from the jazz point of view, so this compillation was an interesting change for me - much broader in scope, full of interesting musicians and performances (only some of them quite close to jazz).
If you're a jazz fan(atic) this migh border on tedious and repetitive, but otherwise it's obviouslly interesting and challenging...
I'm therefore giving it a star above the level of my listening pleasure.

Summary: jazzy, upbeat bossa nova
Comment: This collection is different from what I knew as bossa nova. It's jazzier and more upbeat. It's not exactly what I thought I would get, but I like it.

Summary: Great Brazilian Music
Comment: This CD provides you with some great tunes; danceable, easy to the ears, romantic and very sensual. The songs take me away and place me in the heart of Brazil; the land of high soaring spirits. Would highly recommend it.

Summary: One of the best
Comment: This is probably my favorite album of all time. I purchased it about 8 years ago and listen to it regularly. Can't understand a single lyric from it (a few excepted) but it remains one of the best I own. It is soulful, enchanting, exciting, and mysterious all at once.
If you are in the mood for something different that will grow on you, try this one. You won't regret it. I promise.
For something similar and equally intoxicating, try Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Wave" or "The Composer of Desafinado, Plays". Both fantastic choices.
