1	Remixed & Reimagined (2007) more music like this by Billie Holiday The second in Columbia/Legacy's Remixed & Reimagined series, this time it's blues legend Billie Holiday who is reinvented for modern audiences. But how well does Lady Day translate to modern times and climes? Unlike Nina Simone, who opened the series, not so well.Holiday oozed emotion, while the music had a rawness around the edges, far removed ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $15.00!
2	The Most Relaxing Jazz Music in the Universe (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $7.15! new only from $10.76!
3	The Romantic Moods of Jackie Gleason (1996) more music like this by Jackie Gleason This is a fine compilation of Jackie Gleason's output for Columbia. Gleason's objective was to make "musical wallpaper" that should never be intrusive, but rather conducive. He was not musically literate, but never had a problem articulating what he wanted to hear from his orchestra. The music here is quiet, melancholy, and often somber, played at ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $20.53!
4	Feeling Good (2006) more music like this by Randy Crawford/Joe Sample After a quarter of a century in the Warner Bros. camp and five years on the recording sidelines, Randy Crawford drew a circle back to the beginning, reuniting with keyboardist Joe Sample. In turn, the old Crusader put together a genuinely distinguished rhythm section, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Steve Gadd, and called upon Tommy LiPuma ... see all copies from $14.35! new only from $14.35!
5	The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album [Bonus Tracks] (2006) more music like this by Bill Evans/Tony Bennett Having completed his relatively brief sojourn with MGM/Verve with 1973's Listen Easy, Tony Bennett was in the midst of forming his own label, Improv Records, when he made a deal with jazz pianist Bill Evans to cut two LPs, this one for Evans' label, Fantasy Records, with another to follow on Improv. The singer and his collaborator ("accompanist" ... see all copies from $8.65! new only from $8.65!
6	Open Sesame [US Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Freddie Hubbard Freddie Hubbard's first recording as a leader, Open Sesame features the 22-year-old trumpeter in a quintet with tenor saxophonist Tina Brooks, the up-and-coming pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Clifford Jarvis. This set shows that even at this early stage, Hubbard had the potential to be one of the greats. On the ballad "But ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $10.14!
7	Lady in Satin [Columbia 17 Track] (1958) more music like this by Billie Holiday 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 $2.90! new only from $8.50!
8	Blue (2006) more music like this by Diana Ross For soul fanatics, the Motown archives are the musical equivalent to the Wonka building in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. Every twist and turn is filled with the possibility of resuscitation, preservation, and in some instances surprise discoveries. Such is the case with Blue, which was supposed to be the follow-up album to Diana Ross' wildly ... see all copies from $4.79! new only from $9.00!
9	Timepiece (1994) more music like this by Kenny Rogers see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.46!
10	But Beautiful (1969) more music like this by Nancy Wilson Nancy Wilson has been on the fringes of jazz throughout her career, mostly performing middle-of-the-road pop and R&B. Most of her albums were major productions, but this CD reissue of But Beautiful is quite different. On a relaxed and tasteful program of ballads (including three previously unreleased numbers), Wilson sounds properly expressive and ... see all copies from $6.90! new only from $10.14!
11 view cover	Four Decades of Song (1999) more music like this by Shirley Bassey see all copies from $9.15! new only from $9.15!
12 view cover	And I Thought About You (1958) more music like this by Johnny Hartman Johnny Hartman gained posthumous fame as one of the warmest ballad singers of this century, and his deep baritone voice is well showcased on this 1958 date, which emphasizes slower tempos with a couple of exceptions ("Sunday" and "After You've Gone"). Accompanied by a subtle orchestra arranged by Rudy Traylor (the personnel is unknown), Hartman is ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $10.89!
13 view cover	Mother Nature's Son (1993) more music like this by Jon Lucien see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
14 view cover	Stan Getz & Bill Evans (1964) more music like this by Stan Getz with Bill Evans The only studio meeting between Stan Getz and Bill Evans took place over two days in 1964, with the aggressive drummer Elvin Jones and either Richard Davis or Ron Carter on bass. It is peculiar that Verve shelved the results for over a decade before issuing any of the music, though it may have been felt that Getz and Evans hadn't had enough time ... see all copies from $11.99! new only from $11.99!
15 view cover	16 Most Requested Songs (1992) more music like this by Vic Damone 16 Most Requested Songs is a midline-priced collection that spotlights many of Vic Damone's best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including "On the Street Where You Live," "War and Peace," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "An Affair to Remember," "You're Breaking My Heart," "Gigi," "Separate Tables" and "In the Blue of the ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $10.66!
16 view cover	A Night Out With Verve (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A Night Out With Verve highlights five decades of remarkable jazz taken from the Verve catalog, spread out over four discs titled "Wining," "Dining," "Dancing," and "Romancing." This budget-priced box set includes 65 performances from jazz luminaries including Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Michel Legrand, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Louis Armstrong ... see all copies from $9.11! new only from $23.51!
17 view cover	Plays for Lovers (2005) more music like this by Royce Campbell see all copies from $6.04! new only from $11.95!
18 view cover	Laid Back Lounging (2000) more music like this by Van Craven see all copies from $3.55! new only from $11.49!
19 view cover	Getz for Lovers (2002) more music like this by Stan Getz This 15-cut collection of Stan Getz ballads runs the gamut from his early bossa hits with João and Astrud Gilberto to his ballad performances with Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, and Jim Hall. These are laid-back, beautifully arranged tracks in superior sound. While it is not a well-rounded collection of Stan Getz material, it is an essential ballads ... see all copies from $4.83! new only from $9.91!
20 view cover	You Must Believe in Spring (1992) more music like this by Frank Morgan A '92 release by marvelous alto saxophonist Frank Morgan, whose life story and triumph over heroin addiction and imprisonment was one of the '80s' great success tales. Morgan's biting, yet sensitive and rich alto has rightly been traced to Charlie Parker, but Morgan long ago rid his style of any imitative excesses. He was excellently supported on ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
21 view cover	Oscar Peterson & Clark Terry (1975) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Pianist Oscar Peterson and flugelhornist Clark Terry always made for a perfect matchup. Their duet set (one of five Peterson made during this period) is quite friendly, witty and hard-swinging. C.T. generally sets the joyous mood and on numbers such as "On a Slow Boat to China," "Shaw 'Nuff," "No Flugel Blues" and "Mack the Knife," the warm-toned ... see all copies from $10.43! new only from $12.59!
22 view cover	Perpetually Hip (2006) more music like this by Mimi Fox For the uninitiated, it's understandable to assume that the artists on Steve Vai's record label, Favored Nations, must be from the same hard-rocking, six-string shredding variety. But this is certainly not the case, as evidenced by the 2006 double-disc release by Mimi Fox, Perpetually Hip. A Bay Area-based guitarist, Fox is a jazz guitarist ... see all copies from $6.28! new only from $14.00!
23 view cover	Jazz Moods: 'Round Midnight (2005) more music like this by Aretha Franklin With a stellar career that spans several decades, genres and hits, it's easy to forget that Aretha Franklin had her moment in the sun as an outstanding vocalist in the jazz arena. This edition in Sony's Jazz Moods series seeks to bring that avenue of her career back into the spotlight, as it has been largely overshadowed by her soul and gospel ... see all copies from $10.05! new only from $10.05!
24 view cover	Ann Hampton Callaway (1992) more music like this by Ann Hampton Callaway At first, she may remind you of Barbra Streisand, but only when Streisand's voice is still in first gear. Unlike Streisand, who soon takes off for the stratosphere, when Ann Hampton Callaway revs her voice up, she reveals a husky alto that occasionally bridges into the soprano range and that suggests, among female singers, Sarah Vaughan's plush ... see all copies from $6.11! new only from $7.67!
25 view cover	Close Enough for Love (1988) more music like this by Shirley Horn Shirley Horn's second Verve recording consolidated the success that she had had with her previous release, I Thought About You, and resulted in her gaining a large audience for her ballad vocals and solid jazz piano playing. Performing with her usual trio (which includes bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams) and guest tenor Buck Hill ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $10.14!
