Looking for Bossa Nova recommendations from the 60's along the lines of Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66...
-
Why from the 60's only. Anyway, have you tried Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones? Also try Lalo Schifrin (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006FR6F/qid=1067467996/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_2/102-9648697-1126532). Have you tried Prozak For Lovers (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/prozak)?
-
someone made the request that i mix in a little brazil 66' etc with other 60's stuff... actually i checked soul bossa nova out because it's on the austin powers soundtrack...
-
Esquivel is a good one for Spacey kitsch. Also try SEKS BOMBA (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005BI5C/ref=m_art_li_1/102-9648697-1126532?v=glance&s=music). Another kewl lounge band is Oranj Symphonette (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000DCWI/ref=m_art_li_1/102-9648697-1126532?v=glance&s=music) which features some of Tom Waits band with other sessioners.
There are a lot of others, but I'm familiar with the above artists. Good hunting!

Where's Bossa Thirsty Nova when we need him?
Dude, put the pipe away and get back to work. :D

Kozzie, you've forgotten one of the most important bossa albums to come out of the 60's.... Getz/Gilberto! Also, Astrud Gilberto has a good comp out on Verve that's a greatest hits of sorts. Her song Agua De Beber is fantastic. It sounds exactly like what you're looking for. Let's see, a few other names... Edu Lobo, Antonio Jobim, Walter Wanderley, Baden Powell, etc.
A great compilation to check out is Nova Bossa put out by Verve. It includes most of the aforementioned artists plus a fantastic Elis Regina track titles Aguas De Marco.

Dupek, good call on Quincy Jones "Soul Bossa Nova". A good movie to watch is Black Orpheus. That's what pretty much set the stage for Bossa in the States.

Oh, and Jag, thanks for the nod ;)

an indie movie from a few years ago, "next stop wonderland" has a soundtrack heavy on bossa nova. its also a great film too. even more if you're from boston.
-
on a more modern spin, a lot of the acts signed on dc's own esl label are bossa nova influenced--nicola conte, some of thievery corp's stuff, some of the esl compilations, and ursula 1000.
