1	Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $6.88!
2	Have Yourself a Jazzy Little Christmas [Verve] (1989) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This 15-track CD has something for everyone: the smooth vocal styling of Billy Eckstine on "Christmas Eve," and the purring Dinah Washington on the seductive "Ole Santa," and Ella Fitzgerald showing her soft and sentimental side on the single, "The Secret of Christmas." Billie Holiday, with help from Benny Carter and Sweets Edison, warms up the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.19!
3	Billy's Best! (1958) more music like this by Billy Eckstine add to wishlist Not the greatest-hits compilation listeners may think it is, Billy's Best! is in fact a full LP, one of Eckstine's first for Mercury, and the best of his career. Wrapped in strings and the brassy notes of a few jazzmen by arrangers Henry Mancini and Pete Rugolo, Eckstine slides through a dozen ballads and romantic songs, "Stella by Starlight," ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $12.49!
4	Girl from Ipanema: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook (1995) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim add to wishlist The first of several tribute albums issued just after Antonio Carlos Jobim's death, this one generally sticks to his most famous songs as interpreted by several Brazilian and American artists from PolyGram's archives. Jobim himself appears on such obvious choices as the best-selling Stan Getz, João Gilberto, and Astrud Gilberto hit "The Girl from ... see all copies from $3.79! new only from $8.16!
5	The Complete Cole Porter Songbooks (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This is not and cannot be the Complete Cole Porter Songbooks, but it's a marvelous collection of 48 timeless jazz interpretations drawn from the Verve catalog. Recorded between 1951 and 1988, these standards, ballads and show tunes are rendered by some 15 vocalists, many of whom appear twice, and about 13 instrumental groups. In addition to the ... see all copies from $31.99! new only from $31.99!
6	Now Singing in 12 Great Movies (2002) more music like this by Billy Eckstine add to wishlist This reissue of an early-'60s collection of movie themes sung by Billy Eckstine is labeled as a jazz CD, which is a bit of a stretch. Although no one should question the jazz credentials in the resumes of the rich-voiced Eckstine, pianist and conductor Bobby Tucker, arranger Billy Byers, or producer Quincy Jones, this is very much an easy ... see all copies from $9.45! new only from $9.45!
7	Once More with Feeling (1960) more music like this by Billy Eckstine add to wishlist Billy Eckstine was looking back more than forward by 1960, and his second record for Roulette featured two remakes of familiar hits he'd enjoyed almost 20 years earlier. He also covered two average themes from forgottable movies, the first being the title song (from a Yul Brynner vehicle), the second being "Secret Love" (from a Doris Day film). It ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
8	The Motown Anthology (2004) more music like this by Billy Eckstine add to wishlist see all copies from $18.98! new only from $18.98!

10	Complete Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The classic songs of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are rendered on this outstanding three-disc set, which features vocalists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Shirley Horn, Tony Bennett and Cassandra Wilson. Among the spotlighted instrumentalists are Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Art Tatum, Stan Getz, Bill ... see all copies from $27.82! new only from $27.82!
11	Heart Beats: Sirens of Song - Classic Torch (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $8.44!
12	Big Band Jazz, Vol. 1: From the Beginning to the Fifties (1983) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $64.57!
13	The Legendary Big Band 1943-1947 (2002) more music like this by Billy Eckstine add to wishlist The Legendary Big Band 1943-1947 features 42 of Billy Eckstine's most memorable songs as played by one of the most powerful bebop big bands in jazz history. A powerful singer with a resonant baritone voice, trumpeter and valve trombonist William Clarence Eckstine, a former member of the Earl Hines Orchestra, formed his own band in 1943 after the ... see all copies from $23.43! new only from $26.99!
14	A Jazz Romance: A Night in With Verve (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In jazz, ballads have a way of separating the men from the boys and the women from the girls. They show what an improviser is made of emotionally. On ballads, technique for the sake of technique doesn't cut it -- you have to bring some genuine feeling and honest-to-God emotion to the table. And there is plenty of honest-to-God emotion on this four ... see all copies from $13.99! new only from $29.84!
15	No Cover, No Minimum (1960) more music like this by Billy Eckstine add to wishlist This CD has an unusual cover picture showing Billy Eckstine singing while holding a trumpet. He does indeed take a few short trumpet solos on the well-rounded program, 24 songs (13 previously unissued) performed during one night in Las Vegas. Eckstine, who is backed by an orchestra arranged by his pianist Bobby Tucker, is heard in prime form on a ... see all copies from $3.18! new only from $9.91!
16	Love Songs (2004) more music like this by Billy Eckstine add to wishlist see all copies from $7.18! new only from $9.44!
17	The Irving Berlin Songbook (1957) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan & Billy Eckstine add to wishlist Sarah Vaughan's heavenly vocalizing and Billy Eckstine's velvety deep tone proved an ideal match during the late '40s and throughout the '50s. This 1957 Irving Berlin collection qualifies as the high point of that collaboration. Sometimes surpassing their splendid solo sides, Vaughan and Eckstine obviously revel in each other's company here, ... see all copies from $12.51! new only from $12.51!
18	Mr. Music Master (1993) more music like this by Hoagy Carmichael add to wishlist The most offbeat and proto-bohemian of the great songwriters who have contributed to the Great American Songbook, Hoagy Carmichael was as apt to write about actual places in memory, or the sheer passing of time or everyday tasks like doing laundry, as he was to spin out a traditional love song, and it has made his musical legacy a rich and varied ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $17.28!

22	Prisoner of Love: The Romantic Billy Eckstine (2006) more music like this by Billy Eckstine add to wishlist This 15-track set puts together some amazing performances by Billy Eckstine's band from the early '40s when he was leading one of the more intense, smoking bands on the scene. Some of his players during these years included Fats Navarro, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon, and Kenny Dorham, just to name a few. The Eckstine ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $10.70!

24	The Cool Mr. B (2001) more music like this by Billy Eckstine add to wishlist Give your Luther Vandross CDs a break. Instead, slide in this snappy ten-track import featuring Billy Eckstine and orchestra after the wine has flowed and get ready for the passion. The arrangements are no joke: the swings are intricate with hooks as powerful as Joe Frazier's left paw; the ballads feature similar subtle thematic shifts that are ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $6.95!
25	Heart Beats: Closer Than a Kiss: Crooner Classics (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The American Heritage Dictionary defines crooning as "a soft singing, humming, or murmuring" and adds, "to sing popular songs in a soft, sentimental manner."

The collection contains 16 of the smoothest, suavest, and sometimes ... see all copies from $3.35! new only from $22.93!
