1	Eva by Heart (1997) more music like this by Eva Cassidy An album both haunting and inspiring, tragic and mesmerizing, Eva by Heart was the singer's only true studio album, and hints at the promise which was never to materialize due to her early demise from cancer. Five of the songs on this set ("I Know You by Heart," "Time Is a Healer," "Wayfaring Stranger," "Wade in the Water," and "Songbird") appear ... see all copies from $13.97! new only from $14.95!
2	Only the Lonely (1958) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Originally, Frank Sinatra had planned to record Only the Lonely with Gordon Jenkins, who had arranged his previous all-ballads album, Where Are You. Jenkins was unavailable at the time of the sessions, which led Sinatra back to his original arranger at Capitol, Nelson Riddle. The result is arguably his greatest ballads album. Only the Lonely ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
3	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 $4.49! new only from $16.46!
4	Ocean's Eleven (2001) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Steven Soderbergh's re-imagining of the Rat Pack Vegas caper Ocean's 11 features an appropriately stylish soundtrack that mixes David Holmes' original score with a diverse range of additional songs. Like the film itself, Holmes' pieces are hip, but still have widespread appeal. Slinky, slightly edgy pieces such as "Boobytrapping," "Ruben's Inn," ... see all copies from $6.89! new only from $11.11!
5	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!
6	Piece by Piece (2005) more music like this by Katie Melua Georgia-born (as in the country) singer/songwriter Katie Melua found herself atop the British chart in 2003 with her breezy debut Call Off the Search. It sold over three million copies in Europe alone. Her laid-back blend of blues, jazz, and pop with a kiss of worldbeat drew comparisons to Norah Jones, and rightfully so. She sticks to the formula ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
7	The Very Best of Julie London [2006] (2006) more music like this by Julie London The Very Best of Julie London offers an extensive overview of London's recording career with 50 selections she cut for Liberty Records between 1955 and 1969. The tracks are not newly remastered for the most part, but are taken from EMI's series of import two-fers and the domestic reissues Ron Furmanek and Bob Norberg produced in the early '90s. ... see all copies from $14.86! new only from $14.86!
8	We All Love Ella: Celebrating the First Lady of Song [15 Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Despite her name on the cover and her photos in the credits, Ella Fitzgerald's shadow doesn't loom over this tribute album, which is a good thing. A succession of female vocalists (plus Michael Bublé and Stevie Wonder) pay tribute to Fitzgerald with their own interpretations of her best-known standards. Despite the fact that few of the singers ... see all copies from $2.89! new only from $6.60!
9	Fearless Leader [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by John Coltrane In the spring of 1957, when he signed with Bob Weinstock's Prestige Records, John Coltrane was still a relative newcomer to the national jazz scene. He wasn't, at age 30, a youngster by any means, and he had already been playing professionally for more than a dozen years, but most of that had been as a sideman and he was known primarily to ... see all copies from $51.80! new only from $51.80!
10	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 3: Space Capades (1996) more music like this by Various Artists In the late 1950s and early 1960s, this was the easy listening music that tried to anticipate the space age. Utilizing theremin or spooky organ figures helped, as did then-novel tricks like stereo separation and then-exotic instruments and hi-fi effects. It wasn't just novelty artists that got in on the act; bandleaders Les Baxter and David Rose, ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $10.79!
11 view cover	Something Cool (1953) more music like this by June Christy June Christy's classic Something Cool has been expanded from 11 songs to 24 on this essential CD with two unreleased cuts and six songs only previously out as singles. Christy's attractive "cool" tone was a trademark of jazz in the 1950s, her version of "Something Cool" remains a classic, and many of the other numbers are nearly as memorable. ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $24.31!
12 view cover	The Essential Frank Sinatra: The Columbia Years (2003) more music like this by Frank Sinatra see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.00!
13 view cover	Blues in the Night (1996) more music like this by Morton Gould see all copies from $1.99!
14 view cover	The Capitol Years [3-CD] (1990) more music like this by Frank Sinatra see all copies from $12.99! new only from $34.81!
15 view cover	'Round Midnight (1998) more music like this by Kenny Burrell This is a typically tasteful Kenny Burrell record (reissued on CD) with the guitarist mostly emphasizing ballads. Five of the seven songs (which include "Make Someone Happy," "Since I Fell for You" and the theme from "A Streetcar Named Desire") find Burrell assisted by pianist Richard Wyands (who also played electric piano), bassist Reggie Johnson ... see all copies from $7.61! new only from $10.29!
16 view cover	Sinatra 80th: All the Best (1995) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Released to coincide with Frank Sinatra's 80th birthday, Sinatra 80th: All the Best is a double-disc set that draws from his classic Capitol concept albums, as well as singles from the '50s and a couple of rarities, which aren't particularly compelling. The main strength of the package is as an introduction, since it recaps most of his essential ... see all copies from $2.96! new only from $3.57!
17 view cover	Night and Day: Big-Band (1995) more music like this by Chicago Generally, when contemporary performers have taken on retro projects like this one, they have tended to emphasize their fidelity to the sources -- consider Linda Ronstadt hiring arranger/conductor Nelson Riddle to recreate his string backgrounds for albums like What's New. Chicago takes a different approach to the swing band classics it tackles ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $10.76!
18 view cover	Army Air Force Band (2001) more music like this by Glenn Miller & the Army Air Force Band In 1956, RCA Victor released an ambitious, if imperfect, five-LP set that focused on U.S. performances by Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band; all of the material, which spanned July 1943-June 1944, was recorded before the orchestra moved to England. That five-LP set drove Miller's hardcore fans wild; they were thrilled to get their hands on a lot ... see all copies from $12.87! new only from $40.00!
19 view cover	Capitol Collectors Series (1942) more music like this by Johnny Mercer Today we know Johnny Mercer mainly as the genius songwriter from Savannah, GA, and perhaps tend to forget that he was also one of the most prolific hitmaking singers of the 1940s. This excellent compendium of his hit singles, plus a pair of his most famous songs ("Blues in the Night" and "One for My Baby") from 78 rpm albums, will definitely give ... see all copies from $7.78! new only from $10.79!
20 view cover	Yes Indeed [Box Set] (2002) more music like this by Jo Stafford see all copies from $23.63! new only from $23.63!
21 view cover	Sings the Select Johnny Mercer (1995) more music like this by Frank Sinatra This isn't a definitive collection mainly because Frank Sinatra went on to record so many more great Johnny Mercer tunes for his Reprise label. But what does make it onto this CD is top-shelf. Since Sinatra was justly renown for his sensitive way with a lyric, it makes sense to compile numbers that were by written by Mercer, his favorite lyricist. ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $29.95!
22 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Mel Tormé (2005) more music like this by Mel Tormé The 20th Century Masters series serves many purposes for all the varying artists with MCA affiliations, and with Mel Tormé, the spryest of jazz vocalists, the case is no different. With few hits to essay, compiler Ryan Null and producer Mike Ragogna instead chose to spotlight Tormé's range of abilities -- vocal acrobat and scatter, standards ... see all copies from $6.88! new only from $8.66!
23 view cover	Jimmy Smith's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Jimmy Smith Verve's Finest Hour collection of Jimmy Smith's work compiles 60 minutes of career highlights, including "Walk on the Wild Side," "Got My Mojo Workin'," "James and Wes," and "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag." Though it's by no means a definitive compilation of Smith's music, it does provide an entertaining overview of some of his funkiest moments. ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
24 view cover	Quincy Jones' Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Quincy Jones It has been questioned whether Quincy Jones will best be remembered as a producer of pop hits (Thriller) or for his massive jazz output. After an unsuccessful early attempt as a jazz trumpeter, Jones focused on the challenges of his main interest, arranging and conducting. As part of the Finest Hour series from Verve, 15 of Jones arrangements from ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
25 view cover	Live at the Café Carlyle (1974) more music like this by Bobby Short After springing for three double-LP songbook albums in three years devoted to Cole Porter, Noël Coward, and George Gershwin, Atlantic Records tracked Bobby Short to his lair for a fourth two-disc collection in December 1973, setting up recording equipment in the tiny confines of the Cafe Carlyle where Short had maintained a permanent residency ... see all copies from $10.28! new only from $10.28!
