1	Come Away with Me (2002) more music like this by Norah Jones add to wishlist Norah Jones' debut on Blue Note is a mellow, acoustic pop affair with soul and country overtones, immaculately produced by the great Arif Mardin. (It's pretty much an open secret that the 22-year-old vocalist and pianist is the daughter of Ravi Shankar.) Jones is not quite a jazz singer, but she is joined by some highly regarded jazz talent: ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.88!
2	Feels Like Home (2004) more music like this by Norah Jones add to wishlist It may be far too obvious to even mention that Norah Jones' follow-up to her 18-million-unit-selling, eight-Grammy-winning, genre-bending, super-smash album Come Away With Me has perhaps a bit too much to live up to. But that's probably the biggest conundrum for Jones: having to follow up the phenomenal success of an album that was never designed ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.04!
3	Now That's What I Call Christmas! [Universal] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Now series is known for crossing the boundaries of record labels in its attempt to provide definitive collections of hits -- usually from contemporary hits, but also of different eras and styles from the past (at least in its U.K. incarnation). Thankfully, the double-disc, 36-track collection Now That's What I Call Christmas! lives up to the ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $15.89!
4	Classic Sinatra: His Greatest Performances 1953-1960 (2000) more music like this by Frank Sinatra add to wishlist 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 $5.00! new only from $14.56!
5	The Girl in the Other Room (2004) more music like this by Diana Krall add to wishlist While the jazz fascists (read: purists) may be screaming "sellout" because Diana Krall decided to record something other than standards this time out, the rest of us can enjoy the considerable fruit of her labors. The Girl in the Other Room is, without question, a jazz record in the same manner her other outings are. The fact that it isn't made up ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.30!
6	Twentysomething (2004) more music like this by Jamie Cullum add to wishlist Already a sensation in his native England, 22-year-old piano man Jamie Cullum comes off like a hip amalgamation of Harry Connick, Jr. and Randy Newman on his sophomore effort, Twentysomething. As with Blue Note's crossover wunderkind Norah Jones, Cullum works best when he's not trying too hard to please hardcore jazz aficionados, but it's not too ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.90!
7	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program is the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, its 94 selections covering the history ... see all copies from $39.99! new only from $51.23!
8	Love Scenes (1997) more music like this by Diana Krall add to wishlist Vocalist/pianist Diana Krall was a very hot property by the time this Impulse CD was released. Teamed in a trio with her regular guitarist Russell Malone and bassist Christian McBride, Krall here mostly emphasizes ballads having something to do with love. She is at her best on "I Don't Know Enough About You," "I Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.50!
9	The Ultimate Tony Bennett (2000) more music like this by Tony Bennett add to wishlist The 20 tracks on this anthology cover Bennett's entire career at Columbia, from his 1951 number one single "Because of You" to "Mood Indigo" from 1999's Hot and Cool: Bennett Sings Ellington. Note, however, that "entire career at Columbia" is not synonymous with Bennett's entire career, as there's nothing representing the span between the mid-'60s ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.67!
10	Sinatra Reprise: The Very Good Years (1991) more music like this by Frank Sinatra add to wishlist Sinatra Reprise: The Very Good Years is an excellent single-disc retrospective of Sinatra's career at Reprise, including most of his signature songs from the '60s, '70s, and '80s. Hits like "My Way," "That's Life," "Summer Wind," "Strangers in the Night," "It Was a Very Good Year," and "New York, New York" are present, as are songs that were never ... see all copies from $2.78! new only from $24.99!
11	Catching Tales (2005) more music like this by Jamie Cullum add to wishlist British pianist/vocalist Jamie Cullum's previous effort, Twentysomething, was an uncomplicated mix of piano-driven melodic pop with a jazzy twist and some reworked jazz standards. 2005's Catching Tales follows a similar format but falls short of its predecessor's simple approach by muddying up the production with dated electronic flourishes. Which ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.93!
12	The Very Best of Nat King Cole [Capitol] (2006) more music like this by Nat King Cole add to wishlist This generous anthology, with 28 tracks and close to 80 minutes of music, is one of the best single-disc sets on the market of Nat King Cole's pop side. Spanning over 20 years, from 1943 to 1964, The Very Best of Nat King Cole includes most of his biggest hits for Capitol Records, like 1946's "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66," 1950s "Mona Lisa," 1951 ... see all copies from $7.62! new only from $9.78!
13	Oh, Lady, Be Good! Best of the Gershwin Songbook (1996) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald add to wishlist see all copies from $15.34! new only from $15.34!
14	Lady in Satin (1958) more music like this by Billie Holiday add to wishlist 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 $2.00! new only from $3.45!
15	A Wonderful World (2002) more music like this by Tony Bennett & k.d. lang add to wishlist Tony Bennett has sung with k.d. lang previously, notably on his MTV Unplugged album, and the two have meshed well together, largely because of lang's willingness to sublimate herself to Bennett's approach. The same thing can be said of the two on this full-length duet album (which also contains solos -- Bennett is heard alone on "That's My Dream," ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.06!
16	Standard Time, Vol. 3: The Resolution of Romance (1990) more music like this by Wynton Marsalis add to wishlist On the third of his three standards albums, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis meets up with his father, pianist Ellis Marsalis (along with bassist Reginald Veal and drummer Herlin Riley), for 17 standards and three of his originals (including "In the Court of King Oliver"). Wynton, perhaps because of his father's presence, is very respectful of the ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $5.73!
17	16 Most Requested Songs (1989) more music like this by Johnny Mathis add to wishlist 16 Most Requested Songs, a midline-priced collection, spotlights some of Johnny Mathis' best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records. Although other sets may have a few more tracks, this is a very entertaining sampler, featuring such songs as "Chances Are," "It's Not for Me to Say," "Wonderful! Wonderful!," "When Sunny Gets Blue," ... see all copies from $2.24! new only from $6.83!
18	His Greatest Hits (1974) more music like this by Engelbert Humperdinck add to wishlist With Engelbert Humperdinck's Decca Records contract coming to an end in 1974, the label compiled His Greatest Hits. The American version (released on Parrot) contained ten tracks, eight of them being Top Ten hits on either the pop or easy listening charts between 1967 and 1969, and the remaining two being "Quando Quando Quando" and "Spanish Eyes." ... see all copies from $4.81! new only from $7.63!
19	Here's to Life (1992) more music like this by Shirley Horn add to wishlist Shirley Horn's meeting with a string section and an orchestra arranged by Johnny Mandel has some exquisite moments although sometimes it is just overly sweet. Horn recorded with her trio (which includes bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams) first, emphasizing slow ballads. Mandel used the pianist-vocalist's improvisations and chord ... see all copies from $2.20! new only from $9.77!
20	Marsalis Standard Time, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Wynton Marsalis add to wishlist On the first of three volumes, Wynton Marsalis explores ten standards plus two of his originals with his quartet of the period (which consists of pianist Marcus Roberts, bassist Robert Hurst III, and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts). Marsalis' tone is quite beautiful on the well-balanced set; even the ballads have their unpredictable moments. Among the ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $4.94!
21	Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album (1968) more music like this by Tony Bennett add to wishlist With British arranger/conductor Robert Farnon handling the transatlantic sessions, Tony Bennett's 1968 Christmas album turned into a swinging affair, from the version of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music (how did this song become associated with Christmas?) to seasonal standards like "White Christmas" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
22	Gold: A 50th Anniversary Celebration (2006) more music like this by Johnny Mathis add to wishlist On the 50th anniversary of his first release, Johnny Mathis personally assembled and notated this collection of hits from throughout his career. Beginning, as it should, with a baker's dozen of recordings from his prime era of the '50s, Gold: A 50th Anniversary Celebration includes nearly all of his best work (although it skips his '60s and '70s ... see all copies from $4.23! new only from $8.08!
23	But Beautiful: The Best of Shirley Horn on Verve (2005) more music like this by Shirley Horn add to wishlist When vocalist/pianist Shirley Horn resurfaced after a long spell away from the recording studio and signed with Verve Records in 1987, the jazz world at large discovered what many of Horn's devoted followers already knew: that she is a huge talent and one of the great jazz singers to follow in the footsteps of legends like Sarah Vaughan and Billie ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $15.23!
24	17 Most Requested Songs (1990) more music like this by Jerry Vale add to wishlist 17 Most Requested Songs is a midline-priced collection that spotlights many of Jerry Vale's best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including "Have You Looked into Your Heart," "Mama," "Old Cape Cod," "You Don't Know Me," "Tears Keep on Falling," "O Solo Mio," "The Impossible Dream," and "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing." ... see all copies from $3.10! new only from $6.06!
25	Steal Away (1994) more music like this by Charlie Haden/Hank Jones add to wishlist This is an unusual record. Bassist Charlie Haden and pianist Hank Jones perform a variety of spirituals, hymns and folk songs as duets. The traditional music (which includes such tunes as "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Sometimes I Feel like a Motherless Child" and "We Shall Overcome") are all performed ... see all copies from $3.87! new only from $10.44!
