1	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!
2	Songs for Swingin' Lovers! (1955) more music like this by Frank Sinatra After the ballad-heavy In the Wee Small Hours, Frank Sinatra and Nelson Riddle returned to up-tempo, swing material with Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, arguably the vocalist's greatest swing set. Like Sinatra's previous Capitol albums, Songs for Swingin' Lovers! consists of reinterpreted pop standards, ranging from the ten-year-old "You Make Me Feel ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $15.81!
3	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!
4	Renee Olstead (2004) more music like this by Reneé Olstead Back in 2002, producer David Foster oversaw the debut disc of a young jazz/pop singer named Michael Bublé. With his handsome looks and Sinatra-like voice, Bublé quickly saw his star begin to rise and the success of his disc kicked off a mini-revival of old standards and big band singers. Striking while the iron was hot, Foster fed the flame by ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
5	Count Basie's Finest Hour (2002) more music like this by Count Basie The Verve compilation Count Basie's Finest Hour features a nice mix of sides recorded by the pianist/bandleader and his big band over the years. While it is by no means a definitive overview, it is a nice single-disc introduction to some of the jazz icon's best work. Included are such legendary tracks as "Corner Pocket," "One O'Clock Jump," and ... see all copies from $7.76! new only from $7.76!
6	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $14.29! new only from $50.06!
7	The Essential Glenn Miller [Bluebird/Legacy] (2005) more music like this by Glenn Miller This double-CD set should not be confused with the similarly named mid-'90s, 47-song compilation from BMG, which was good in its time but is outclassed by this entry in Sony Music's (now Sony BMG's) Essential series. Wisely ignoring a by-release-date-order approach, producer Barry Feldman has instead opted for a track lineup that, plain and simple ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
8	Totally Bublé (2003) more music like this by Michael Bublé After the success of Michael Bublé's self-titled debut, DRG belatedly released this jazzy soundtrack from the 2001 film Totally Blonde in which Bublé had a co-starring role as a nightclub singer. Capitalizing on Bublé's newfound stardom, DRG basically ignores the music's connection to the film by altering the title and putting a shot of Bublé ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $9.20!
9	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 4: Bachelor Pad Royale (1996) more music like this by Various Artists As the title implies, the songs on this 18-song compilation were intended for bachelors who wanted to create a suitably suave atmosphere between the mid-'50s and mid-'60s. So although the music draws from jazz (both big band and cool), lounge pop, and film/TV soundtracks, it's primarily designed to set a mood or background. That means that when it ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $11.13!
10	Michael Bublé (2003) more music like this by Michael Bublé Unlike most young guys who gravitate towards the latest rock or rap trend, Michael Bublé chose to study the classic works of pop vocal masters like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra while slowly developing his own technique and career as a vocal interpreter. Thanks to producer David Foster, the 25-year-old Bublé has graduated to the big time ... see all copies from $7.40! new only from $10.00!
11 view cover	A Voice in Time: 1939-1952 (2007) more music like this by Frank Sinatra This four-CD set is a first in Frank Sinatra's Columbia Records discography: a box set that encompasses his Columbia solo sides with his work for Tommy Dorsey and Harry James, plus live broadcast sides up through 1952. It may also perplex some potential purchasers, especially those who already have the 12-CD Sony/Legacy Columbia Years set -- which ... see all copies from $23.00! new only from $34.99!
12 view cover	USA for Africa: We Are the World (1985) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $49.69!
13 view cover	The Complete Atomic Basie (1994) more music like this by Count Basie One of the reasons that some major labels love to license big chunks of their catalogs to smaller independent outfits for box set reissues is that they never know that those licensees will turn up in putting those sets together, and it all becomes fair game for the parent company. Thus, in 1994, a year after Mosaic unearthed five previously ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $10.32!
14 view cover	Live at Carnegie Hall: 1938 Complete (1999) more music like this by Benny Goodman Benny Goodman's January 16, 1938, Carnegie Hall concert is considered the single most important jazz or popular music concert in history: jazz's "coming out" party to the world of "respectable" music, held right in that throne room of musical respectability, Carnegie Hall. The 1950-vintage three-album set from the concert only solidified its ... see all copies from $10.98! new only from $15.63!
15 view cover	Summon the Heroes (1996) more music like this by John Williams & the Boston Pops John Williams conducts this uplifting collection of Olympic themes, brimming over with bright fanfares and sweeping pieces culled from mostly contemporary sources. Highlighting the recording is Williams' own "Summon the Heroes," easily recognizable as NBC's primary musical piece during their coverage of the Olympic games. Zac Johnson, All Music ... see all copies from $5.48! new only from $12.69!
16 view cover	Sweet and Lowdown (1999) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Looking back, it was probably only a matter of time before filmmaker Woody Allen decided to combine his professional career and his favorite hobby. In 1999 he did just that with Sweet and Lowdown, a mockumentary about a fictional jazz guitarist named Emmet Ray that gave Allen an excuse to delve into the cheerful '30s jazz with which he spends much ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.69!
17 view cover	The Best of the Songbooks (1993) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Simply a grand and eloquent performance put together by Verve records highlighting the best years of Ella Fitzgerald -- that sassy, charming legendary singer in jazz. The Best of the Songbooks features a captivating lineup of some of jazz's greatest composers and arrangers. It is here that Fitzgerald records and sings songs of Cole Porter, Richard ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $10.29!
18 view cover	I Had the Craziest Dream (2000) more music like this by Helen Forrest One of a group of recordings that have been issued by various labels since her death in July, 1999, Helen Forrest's I Had the Craziest Dream is a wonderful highlight of the vocalist who graced Artie Shaw's band and others. Featuring her sweet, honey-dipped voice and the joy and humor that seem to seep into her music, this collection presents 25 of ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
19 view cover	With the Oscar Peterson Trio (1952) more music like this by Lester Young and the Oscar Peterson Trio Defying what has become conventional wisdom, tenor saxophonist Lester Young (when he was reasonably healthy) actually cut some of his greatest recordings in the 1950s. On this wonderful effort with pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer J.C. Heard, Prez performs definitive versions of "Just You, Just Me" ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
20 view cover	Swingin' New Big Band (1966) more music like this by Buddy Rich 1966 was a most illogical time for anyone to try forming a new big band but Buddy Rich beat the odds. This CD reissues the first album by the Buddy Rich Orchestra, augmenting the original Lp program with nine previously unissued performances from the same sessions. The arrangements (eight by Oliver Nelson along with charts by Bill Holman, Phil ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $11.13!
21 view cover	Swing Kids [Original Soundtrack] (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack At its best, Swing Kids fills the listener with the relentless passion, sensuality, and joy that is swing music. Not tapping your feet or dancing to the material presented is nearly impossible. Unfortunately, composer James Horner also fills the album with moody orchestral music that takes away some of the momentum. Still, the best cuts are so ... see all copies from $4.72! new only from $13.34!
22 view cover	Greatest Hits [RCA] (1996) more music like this by Glenn Miller This CD is part of RCA Victor's extensive but erratic introduction to jazz series. Glenn Miller had so many hits that it would be impossible to fit them on just one CD. Strangely enough, three of the 15 numbers included on this release ("When You Wish Upon a Star," "Moon Love," and "King Porter Stomp") were not big sellers, making the title a bit ... see all copies from $4.96! new only from $10.11!
23 view cover	The Golden Years: 1938-1942 (2001) more music like this by Glenn Miller see all copies from $15.00! new only from $23.63!
24 view cover	Blue Light, Red Light (1991) more music like this by Harry Connick, Jr. His latest, with a slick, large-orchestra format. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.33!
25 view cover	A Merry Christmas! (2003) more music like this by Stan Kenton When bandleader Stan Kenton was approached to record an album of holiday music in 1961 he agreed, on one condition -- no songs about singing snowmen or flying reindeer. The resulting album, A Merry Christmas, is a polyphonic masterpiece that is at once progressive and traditional. Included are such well-known classics as "O Tannenbaum" and "The ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.01!
