1	Ultra-Lounge: Tiki Sampler (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Capitol's virtually unending series of lounge/exotica compilations gets its own retrospective with Ultra Lounge: Tiki Sampler, a collection of tracks from several volumes of the Ultra Lounge series plus On the Rocks, Vols. 1-2 and single-artist sets devoted to Jackie Gleason, Martin Denny and Les Baxter. It's not a bad buy at that, distilling ... see all copies from $17.48! new only from $17.48!
2	Jump, Jive an' Wail: The Essential (2007) more music like this by Louis Prima Louis Prima had been leading orchestras for 25 years when, in 1954, he finally got something that turned out to be the biggest break of his career: a late-night lounge act at the Sahara Hotel. It certainly wasn't a coveted gig, but it soon became the hottest ticket in town, with a dynamite stage show that featured Prima, the combination fireplug ... see all copies from $4.27! new only from $4.27!
3	Eh, Paisano! 100% Italian-American Classics (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The concept behind Eh, Paisano! 100% Italian-American Classics -- namely, 18 tracks of pop standards and Italian songs from the '50s and '60s, sung by crooners like Dean Martin, Louis Prima, and Lou Monte -- may be a little cutesy, but it works surprisingly well. Even with tracks by pop acts like Jay & the Americans and Connie Francis, the album ... see all copies from $16.52! new only from $16.52!
4	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 5: Wild Cool & Swingin (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This 18-song compilation is the showbiz-encased, Vegas-ized school of late-'50s and early-'60s pop vocals. The emphasis is certainly more on the "cool" than the wild and swinging; if it ever breaks out a sweat, there will be a martini-dipped silk handkerchief on hand to wipe it away. You get selections from Rat Packers (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $10.79!
5	Jingle Bell Swing (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Jingle Bell Swing is a refreshing idea in a Christmas collection, assembling a host of top-notch jazz musicians to breathe new life into the old holiday standbys. Big names abound here, including Duke Ellington, Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, Louis Prima, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, Benny Goodman, Miles Davis, Tony Bennett, and Carmen McRae, plus ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	Live from Las Vegas (2005) more music like this by Louis Prima/Keely Smith Of all the recordings in Capitol's Live from Las Vegas series, this set by Louis Prima and Keely Smith with Sam Butera & the Witnesses is a standout. For Prima fans, it's a treasure trove since only six of the disc's 19 tracks have been previously issued in any form. Recorded in 1958 during the act's long-running stint at the Sahara's Casbah ... see all copies from $8.05! new only from $16.51!
7	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Louis Prima & Keely Smith see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
8	Ultra-Lounge Sampler (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.95! new only from $17.48!
9	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 15: Wild Cool & Swingin' Too (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
10	Wonderland by Night (1960) more music like this by Louis Prima Wonderland By Night is a far cry from the boisterous, good-time Italian swing of Louis Prima's popular Capitol recordings. This sequel to Prima's 1960 album, Pretty Music: Prima Style, is comprised of orchestral pop instrumentals, some of which incorporate a wordless vocal chorus. Nighttime is the theme of the album, with Prima's trumpet out in ... see all copies from $2.19!
11 view cover	Yule B Swingin' Too (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A hoppin' visit from Saint Nick via some of his happier elves, Yule B Swingin' Too is the second release in a series of vocal jazz holiday albums from Hip-O Records. Having released some real classics on the first volume, this edition suffers a little, but several tracks really shine: Ann Margaret and Al Hirt's take on "Baby It's Cold Outside" is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
12 view cover	Yule B Swingin' (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This package was yet another attempt to cash in on the late-'90s retro craze for "swing" music and dancing. Artists loosely working in the swing idiom are featured on a selection of the type of obligatory Christmas theme recordings that proliferated in the major label's catalogs back in the 1940s, '50s, and early '60s. Selections include the great ... see all copies from $3.19!
13 view cover	Capitol Collectors Series (1956) more music like this by Louis Prima What Louis Prima accomplished musically in the company of Sam Butera and the Witnesses and vocalist Keely Smith is in hard evidence on this excellent 26-track compilation. All the classics are aboard with excellent liner notes from Scott Shea and crisp transfers of the original masters ("Angelina-Zooma Zooma," "That Old Black Magic," "I've Got You ... see all copies from $2.99!
14 view cover	Christmas at Rao's: A Celebration of Family, Friends Friends & Holiday Spirit (2001) more music like this by Various Artists A collection of some of the coolest Italian-male vocalists crooning Christmas chestnuts, Christmas at Rao's is a serviceable holiday collection, for better or worse (depending on your mood) overly focused on now-forgotten standards. Highlights include some interesting nuggets like Tony Bennett's "Winter Wonderland," Mel Tormé's "The Christmas Song ... see all copies from $4.62! new only from $8.29!
15 view cover	The Wildest! [Expanded] (2002) more music like this by Louis Prima A veritable greatest-hits album, The Wildest! is the gem of Louis Prima's catalogue. None of his other efforts transcend its raunchy mix of demented gibberish, blaring sax, and explosive swing, which rocked as hard as anything released at the time. Almost all of Prima's signature songs are found here: "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Oh Marie, ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
16 view cover	Eternal Romance: Classic Love Songs (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Eternal Romance: Classic Love Songs has a cover that suggests it's filled with adult-contemporary songs from the '90s. It's not. Instead, it's a double-disc, 20-track collection of classic songs performed by classic musicians, like Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Pat Boone, Glenn Miller, Nat King Cole, Mel Tormé, Jimmy Dorsey, and ... see all copies from $2.99!
17 view cover	Wild, Cool & Swingin (1956) more music like this by Louis Prima Capitol dug through their archives and produced Louis Prima's Wild, Cool & Swingin, a continuation of their popular Ultra Lounge series. Prima's two-CD retrospective includes some of his finest work for the label, including "That Old Black Magic," "Oh Marie," "Jump, Jive & Wail" and "Angelina/ Zooma Zooma." The set also features vocals from ... see all copies from $18.35! new only from $18.35!
18 view cover	Blues Masters, Vol. 5: Jump Blues Classics (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Jump blues, of course, was crucial to the birth of R&B and rock & roll. More important, the infectious swing, grit, and humor were great in themselves. Jump Blues Classics collects 18 tracks from the golden days of the genre in the late '40s and 1950s. Most of the pioneers of the style are here -- Joe Turner, Wynonie Harris, Roy Brown, Ruth Brown, ... see all copies from $14.15!
19 view cover	Next Generation of Swing (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Next Generation of Swing assembles a dozen tracks from the retro-swing movement of the 1990s, tossing in a vintage ringer -- Louis Prima's original "Jump, Jive an' Wail" -- for good measure. The latter-day material doesn't quite capture the same excitement, although the Brian Setzer Orchestra's "Route 66," Royal Crown Revue's "Datin' with No Dough ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.40!
20 view cover	Swing Time! The Fabulous Big Band Era 1925-1955 (1925) more music like this by Various Artists This three-CD box set does an excellent job of covering the big-band era through 66 recordings (by almost as many orchestras) owned by Columbia. The selections (programmed in chronological order), although emphasizing the 1934-45 era, also include 18 earlier and six later recordings. The 60 Columbia/Okeh sides, which include the real rarities, are ... see all copies from $8.77! new only from $12.09!
21 view cover	Mob Hits II: More Music from the Great Mob Movies (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Mob Hits II: More Music from the Great Mob Movies follows the first volume of the popular collection with 16 more songs from mob movies like The Godfather, Bronx Tale, and Goodfellas. Highlights include Louis Prima's "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," Nat King Cole's "Mona Lisa," Tommy Dorsey's "Manhattan Serenade," and Connie Francis' "Mama." ... see all copies from $9.98! new only from $9.98!
22 view cover	The Hoagy Carmichael Songbook [RCA] (1932) more music like this by Hoagy Carmichael The music of Hoagy Carmichael is celebrated on this 20-song collection of otherwise unrelated recordings from the 1932-1968 period. The earliest performance is Mildred Bailey's "Rockin' Chair," while the only post-1960 selection is the Living Voices' version of "The Nearness of You." Jazz is de-emphasized in favor of mostly fairly straight vocal ... see all copies from $9.00!
23 view cover	Buona Sera (2002) more music like this by Louis Prima Buona Sera is a perfectly serviceable collection of many of Louis Prima's biggest hits, but since the Capitol Collectors Series compilation contains many of the same tunes, and 26 tracks total versus 16 total here, that one is probably a smarter buy. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00! new only from $14.74!
24 view cover	Mob Hits: Music from and a Tribute to Great Mob Movies (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Sure, the title of Mob Hits: Music from and a Tribute to Great Mob Movies sounds silly, but truth be told, it's a killer idea for a compilation. Face it, there are many, many people out there -- not just Gen-Xers, but Baby Boomers as well -- who fell in love with vocal pop through gangster movies. The Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, and Donnie ... see all copies from $73.45! new only from $73.45!
25 view cover	An Evening at Rao's: Songs from an Italian Restaurant (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
