1	Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday (2001) more music like this by Billie Holiday Forget for a moment that The Best of Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday was tied into the release of the superb box set, Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia, thereby offering a bit of advertisement to the full-fledged set. That doesn't matter -- even if there was never a box set, this would have been a welcome addition to Billie ... see all copies from $12.96! new only from $12.96!
2	Verve Remixed (2002) more music like this by Various Artists More than ten years on from the first whisperings of a dance revolution, there are scores of solid producers in the scene, figures with all the talent, historical knowledge, and judgment necessary to rework most any tracks from the Verve archive. Surprisingly, Verve Remixed strays from the label's crossover-heavy '60s and '70s material (the ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $16.81!
3	Billie Holiday [MGM] (1959) more music like this by Billie Holiday This two-LP set features the best of Billie Holiday's Decca recordings. The 24 selections include such classics as "Them There Eyes," "Lover Man," "Don't Explain," "Crazy He Calls Me," "Now or Never" and "Good Morning Heartache," not to mention a 1950 version of "God Bless the Child." All of this material has since been reissued on CD. Scott ... see all copies from $5.87! new only from $5.87!
4	Lady in Satin [Columbia 17 Track] (1958) more music like this by Billie Holiday This is the most controversial of all Billie Holiday records. Lady Day herself said that this session (which finds her accompanied by Ray Ellis' string orchestra) was her personal favorite, and many listeners have found her emotional versions of such songs as "I'm a Fool to Want You," "You Don't Know What Love Is," "Glad to Be Unhappy," and ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $8.50!
5	Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 collects more early-'40s pop favorites like Dinah Shore's "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," Roy Rogers' "San Fernando Valley," and Johnny Mercer's "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe." More overtly war-themed songs such as Buddy Johnson & His Orchestra's "When My Man Comes Home," Louis Jordan's "Ration ... see all copies from $16.65! new only from $16.65!
6	Great Ladies Sing the Blues (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Although only some of the featured artists on this budget-priced collection are blues singers in any strict sense, one thing's for certain -- they're all great ladies. Highlights include performances from Billie Holiday ("Good Morning Heartache"), Ella Fitzgerald ("Love for Sale"), Nina Simone ("Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out") and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.19!
7	The Complete Decca Recordings (1944) more music like this by Billie Holiday Billie Holiday is heard at her absolute best on this attractive two-CD set. During her period on Decca, Lady Day was accompanied by strings (for the first time), large studio orchestras, and even background vocalists, so jazz solos from her sidemen are few. But her voice was at its strongest during the 1940s (even with her personal problems) and ... see all copies from $28.60! new only from $28.60!
8	At Newport (1957) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Holiday Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Holiday at Newport presents the naturally intriguing results when Verve paired two sets recorded two days apart (over the 4th of July weekend, 1957) by the two best female singers of the 20th century. Unfortunately, circumstances weren't in their favor, as the combined factors of an unsympathetic band (for Fitzgerald) and ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $10.29!
9	The Ultimate Collection (2005) more music like this by Billie Holiday Although the title could only have been coined by a marketing department, The Ultimate Collection deserves the highest of praise. It is not only the first American compilation to survey Billie Holiday's entire 25-year career -- and astutely, at that -- but it also includes a DVD that presents the lion's share of her film and TV appearances, a full ... see all copies from $26.13! new only from $34.58!
10	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Billie Holiday In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from $2.48! new only from $7.01!
11 view cover	Lady in Autumn: The Best of the Verve Years (1946) more music like this by Billie Holiday There are many jazz lovers, even dedicated ones, who cannot afford to part with the 150 dollars or so that the ten-disc Complete Billie Holiday on Verve commands, so this two-disc distillation will do very nicely as a detailed summary of her troubled, soulful Verve period. Set out in chronological order with a mighty overreaching sweep, this mini ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $13.20!
12 view cover	Billie's Best (1992) more music like this by Billie Holiday There is no end in sight to the debate over Billie Holiday's career as a vocalist: Is the essence of her art to be found in her early recordings for Columbia or in the recordings she made for Verve at the end of her short and, by all accounts, miserable life? The early work finds her in clearer voice and singing with energy and conviction, while ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.29!
13 view cover	Remixed & Reimagined (2007) more music like this by Billie Holiday The second in Columbia/Legacy's Remixed & Reimagined series, this time it's blues legend Billie Holiday who is reinvented for modern audiences. But how well does Lady Day translate to modern times and climes? Unlike Nina Simone, who opened the series, not so well.Holiday oozed emotion, while the music had a rawness around the edges, far removed ... see all copies from $9.32! new only from $16.59!
14 view cover	A Night Out With Verve (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A Night Out With Verve highlights five decades of remarkable jazz taken from the Verve catalog, spread out over four discs titled "Wining," "Dining," "Dancing," and "Romancing." This budget-priced box set includes 65 performances from jazz luminaries including Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Michel Legrand, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Louis Armstrong ... see all copies from $15.97! new only from $24.33!
15 view cover	Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook (1952) more music like this by Various Artists With their vast back catalog of classic vocal sides, the Verve label has been releasing a seemingly endless line of songbook collections featuring a who's who of jazz greats. Irving Berlin, Gershwin, Ellington, and Rodgers & Hart have all been feted. Now it's Cole Porter's turn. Over the course of the 17 chestnuts heard here, the likes of Fred ... see all copies from $8.90! new only from $10.29!
16 view cover	Lady Sings the Blues (1956) more music like this by Billie Holiday Taken from a pair of sessions taped during 1955-1956, Lady Sings the Blues finds Holiday in top form and backed by the sympathetic likes of tenor saxophonist Paul Quinichette, trumpeters Charlie Shavers and Harry Edison, pianist Wynton Kelly, and guitarists Kenny Burrell and Barney Kessel. And while these autumnal sides bear some of the frayed ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
17 view cover	Night and Day, Vol. 2: Songbook (1991) more music like this by Cole Porter see all copies from $3.50! new only from $5.99!
18 view cover	Love Songs [Columbia Portrait Cover] (1996) more music like this by Billie Holiday Billie Holiday sang plenty of love songs throughout her career, yet it still seems a little odd to have a Holiday collection entitled Love Songs, mainly because her love songs were never quite so simple. And that's part of the problem here -- Holiday's art may be too rich for audiences who just want a collection of love songs like this. It's ... see all copies from $4.06! new only from $11.06!
19 view cover	Greatest Hits [Columbia/Legacy] (1998) more music like this by Billie Holiday There's something scandalous about the fact that this 13-song CD is, as of spring 2000, the only upgrade to date of Columbia Records' holdings on Billie Holiday. It's good as far as it goes, as part of Sony Music's 20-bit remastering of the highlights of its jazz catalog, but it makes one wonder how long listeners have to wait for the nine volumes ... see all copies from $5.68! new only from $6.24!
20 view cover	The Real Kansas City (1925) more music like this by Various Artists Put together to coincide with the release of Robert Altman's film Kansas City, this sampler traces the evolution of Kansas City jazz from 1925-39. Certainly recommended much more for general listeners than for completists, this CD has fine music (fortunately programmed in chronological order) from Bennie Moten, Jesse Stone, Julia Lee, George E. ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $11.06!
21 view cover	Lady Day: The Master Takes and Singles (2007) more music like this by Billie Holiday Billie Holiday's story is so huge, her artistry so vast, and her impact so incalculable, that even attempting to corral a representative sampling of it within a single collection of recordings is an overwhelming, perhaps foolhardy task. Many have tried, of course, and literally hundreds of options of varying quality and legitimacy, scattered ... see all copies from $24.18! new only from $27.45!
22 view cover	Heart Beats: Sirens of Song - Classic Torch (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino's Sirens of Song: Classic Torch Singers is an excellent collection of late-night, lovelorn vocals by some of the best singers of the century -- and yes, all of them are female, since a strict definition of torch singing (not to mention sirens) excludes males. The collection leads off with "Cry Me a River" by Julie London, the prototypical ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $11.11!
23 view cover	Ultimate Divas (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Ultimate Divas captures every aspect of pop music's queens, reaching back to Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow" and Lena Horne's "Stormy Weather," and flashing forward into the present with songs by Annie Lennox and Tina Turner. In between one finds great performances like Billie Holliday's "My Man," Ella Fitzgerald's "Someone to Watch Over Me" and ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $11.75!
24 view cover	A Musical Romance (2002) more music like this by Billie Holiday & Lester Young A Musical Romance gathers some of the most romantic songs Billie Holiday recorded with Lester Young, including "The Man I Love," "Time on My Hands (You in My Arms)," "I Must Have That Man," and "Who Wants Love?" Essentially a collection of some of the love songs featured on the excellent Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia (1933 - ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $11.06!
25 view cover	The Complete Gershwin Songbooks (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The Complete Gershwin Songbooks collects three discs also released separately: 'S Wonderful, 'S Marvelous and 'S Paradise. The first two discs include the greatest vocalists Verve had to offer, including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Anita O'Day, Shirley Horn, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Bing Crosby, Joe Williams, Fred ... see all copies from $31.88! new only from $31.88!
