1	When I Look in Your Eyes (1998) more music like this by Diana Krall With this CD, the young Canadian singer/pianist/arranger joins forces with producer Tommy LiPuma, who places his orchestral stamp on eight of the 13 tracks. It is the latest attempt to push Krall to an even wider pop/smooth jazz audience than she already enjoys. After all, Nat Cole, Wes Montgomery, and George Benson, among others, went this route. ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $16.81!
2	From This Moment On (2006) more music like this by Diana Krall Returning to the large ensemble sound of her 2005 success, Christmas Songs, pianist/vocalist Diana Krall delivers a superb performance on 2006's From This Moment On. Although having received a largely positive critical response for her creative departure into original singer/songwriter jazz material on 2004's The Girl in the Other Room, here ... see all copies from $3.40! new only from $6.33!
3	Zoot Suit Riot (1997) more music like this by Cherry Poppin' Daddies see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.75!
4	Christmas Songs (2005) more music like this by Diana Krall/Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra On her first full-length Christmas album, pianist/vocalist Diana Krall delivers a smoky, sophisticated, and slightly melancholy album perfectly suited to accompany egg nog cocktails and romantic afterglow holiday affairs. Although there isn't anything unexpected on Christmas Songs -- Irving Berlin's "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep" is as ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.58!
5	A Swingin' Affair! (1957) more music like this by Frank Sinatra In some ways, A Swingin' Affair! is "Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, Pt. 2," following the same formula of Sinatra's hit album of the previous year. Beneath the surface, there are enough variations on A Swingin' Affair! to make it a distinctive, and equally enjoyable listen. The most noticeable difference between the two records is their basic ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $15.11!
6	The Dirty Boogie (1998) more music like this by The Brian Setzer Orchestra Evidently, Brian Setzer doesn't take the jump blues and swing of the Brian Setzer Orchestra as a joke. Dirty Boogie is his third album with his large band, and instead of sounding tired, the record is the group's best effort yet. Setzer rocks the band hard, tearing through blues and rock & roll covers with vigor, and delivering made-to-order ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.34!
7	It Might as Well Be Swing (1964) more music like this by Frank Sinatra/Count Basie and His Orchestra Frank Sinatra and Count Basie's second collaboration, It Might as Well Be Swing, was a more structured, swing-oriented set than Sinatra-Basie, and in many ways the superior album. The album consists of then-recently written songs, arranged as if they were swing numbers. The results work splendidly, not just because arranger/conductor Quincy Jones ... see all copies from $8.97! new only from $11.22!
8	Come Fly with Me (1957) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Constructed around a light-hearted travel theme, Come Fly With Me, Frank Sinatra's first project with arranger Billy May, was a breezy change of pace from the somber Where Are You. From the first swinging notes of Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen's "Come Fly With Me" -- which is written at Sinatra's request -- it's clear that the music on the ... see all copies from $2.29! new only from $3.98!
9	Hot (1997) more music like this by Squirrel Nut Zippers Squirrel Nut Zippers' second album, Hot, was one of the most surprising success stories of 1997. Like the group's debut, The Inevitable, Hot is comprised entirely of good-natured, if slightly tongue-in-cheek, postmodern big-band music. The band has nailed the sound of jump blues and swinging jazz, and if the Zippers don't have the chops of real ... see all copies from $3.07! new only from $13.34!
10	Jumpin' Jive (1981) more music like this by Joe Jackson Jumpin' Jive proved to be one of Joe Jackson's most adventurous projects as he tries his hand at covering a bunch of Louis Jordan and Cab Calloway tunes, ranging from the extravagance of big band to bop to vibrant swing music. The album broke the Top 50 in the U.S. and made it to number 14 in England, with the title track peaking at number 43 over ... see all copies from $6.84! new only from $8.66!
11	Porgy & Bess (1957) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong Producer Norman Granz oversaw two Porgy & Bess projects. The first involved Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, and came together during the autumn of 1957 with brassy big band and lush orchestral arrangements by Russ Garcia. This is the classic Verve Porgy & Bess, and it's been reissued many, many times. The second, recorded during the spring ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.29!
12 view cover	Classic Sinatra: His Greatest Performances 1953-1960 (2000) more music like this by Frank Sinatra A good single-disc compilation of his Capitol years, covering 1953 to the beginning of the 1960s. His Capitol output was so extensive that it's impossible for a 20-song anthology to give a comprehensive overview even of the highlights. Also, as this focuses on the albums he made with Capitol, some of his biggest hits of the time are omitted, such ... see all copies from $7.82! new only from $9.00!
13 view cover	Night Train (1962) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Trio Verve's Master Edition of the Oscar Peterson Trio date released as Night Train includes stately covers of blues and R&B standards like "The Honeydripper," "C-Jam Blues," "Georgia on My Mind," "Bags' Groove," "Moten Swing," and "Things Ain't What They Used to Be." Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen provide tight accompaniment, and there are six previously ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
14 view cover	Come Dance with Me! (1958) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Working with Billy May again, Frank Sinatra recorded his hardest swing album ever with Come Dance with Me! Driven by an intensely swinging horn section, the album has a fair share of slower numbers, but the songs that make the biggest impression are the up-tempo cuts. With May's charts wildly careening all over the place, Sinatra relies on his ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $15.11!
15 view cover	Pure Ella: The Very Best of Ella Fitzgerald (1998) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Pure Ella: The Very Best of Ella Fitzgerald is an excellent 18-track collection that features many of her best recordings, which also happen to be among her most popular, including "A-Tisket, a-Tasket," "They Can't Take That Away from Me," "Night and Day," "My Funny Valentine," "Take the 'A' Train," "How High the Moon," "All the Things You Are," ... see all copies from $7.32! new only from $13.67!
16 view cover	When My Heart Finds Christmas (1993) more music like this by Harry Connick, Jr. For this Christmas jazz album, Harry Connick, Jr. emphasizes his vocals (his piano playing is quite secondary) as he sings ten familiar Christmas songs plus four of his somewhat forgettable originals while joined by a big band, a string section, and background singers. The results are reasonably pleasing, but of little interest to jazz listeners. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
17 view cover	When Harry Met Sally (1989) more music like this by Harry Connick Jr. Harry Connick, Jr.'s vocals perfectly fit the moods throughout the 1989 Billy Crystal film When Harry Met Sally. This soundtrack album (which stands apart from the movie) was a big hit and a major step forward for the young pianist-vocalist, although it appears to have been the high point of his career. Connick warmly sings such numbers as "It Had ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
18 view cover	Songs That Got Us Through WW2 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This excellent collection of songs from the "War Years" includes The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, the Dorsey Brothers, and Harry James, among others. It's great for the novice. Kenneth M. Cassidy, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.17! new only from $8.17!
19 view cover	Porgy and Bess (1958) more music like this by Miles Davis/Gil Evans Tomes are available annotating the importance of this recording. The musical and social impact of Miles Davis, his collaborative efforts with Gil Evans, and in particular their reinvention of George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess are indeed profound. However, the most efficient method of extricating the rhetoric and opining is to experience the ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.06!
20 view cover	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 $12.00! new only from $16.64!
21 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 $3.99! new only from $19.19!
22 view cover	The Fabulous Swing Collection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The Fabulous Swing Collection offers 19 classic swing hits from the likes of Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Fletcher Henderson, Charlie Barnet, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, and Artie Shaw. There's nothing rare on the compilation, so it's not necessary for collectors, but it's not a bad sampler for casual listeners who want these hits ... see all copies from $6.43! new only from $11.06!
23 view cover	Waka/Jawaka (1972) more music like this by Frank Zappa When Frank Zappa found himself stuck in a wheelchair for most of the year 1972 (after a "fan" pushed him off the stage on December 10 of the previous year), he relieved his then-current band (including singers Flo & Eddie) of its duties and turned to studio work. One of the first things he tried was to write jazz fusion music scored for wider ... see all copies from $11.04! new only from $11.04!
24 view cover	Perennial Favorites (1998) more music like this by Squirrel Nut Zippers Although it had been simmering for a little while, the neo-swing boom had its breakthrough hit in early 1997 with the Squirrel Nut Zippers' "Hell." Instead of fading away, the movement simply gained momentum, virtually guaranteeing a large audience for the group's summer 1998 follow-up album, Perennial Favorites. The title is a sly joke, since the ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $8.66!
25 view cover	Ragtime [Original Cast Recording - RCA] (1996) more music like this by Original Cast Recording Composer Stephen Flaherty, lyricist Lynn Ahrens, and librettist Terrence McNally's stage musical adaptation of E.L. Doctorow's novel Ragtime took a long time to get to Broadway, with full-scale productions in Toronto and Los Angeles dating back more than a year before the New York opening, and they used that time well. One need only compare the ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $15.75!
