Bossa nova is amazing. It's my favorite style of jazz to play. Check out anyone doing the jazz standard "Blue Bossa". Tito Puente or Mongo Santamaria probably have stuff that run along the lines of what youre looking for. Also, a song called "Corcavado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)" is one of my favorites.
