1	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!
2	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!
3	All or Nothing at All (1955) more music like this by Billie Holiday This two-disc set features some of Billie Holiday's top Verve performances from the mid-'50s. Over the course of 28 cuts, she runs the emotional gamut from summery optimism ("Love Is Here to Stay") to pathos-rich musings ("Ill Wind"). Befitting her perennial after-hours mood while at the label, the majority of songs here feature Holiday in a low ... see all copies from $20.94! new only from $20.94!
4	Nice 'n' Easy (1960) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Breaking slightly from his pattern of a swing album following the release of ballads set, Frank Sinatra followed No One Cares with Nice 'N' Easy, a breezy collection of mid-tempo numbers arranged by Nelson Riddle. Not only is it the lightest set that he recorded for Capitol, it is the one with the loosest theme. Sinatra selected a collection of ... see all copies from $2.21! new only from $9.62!
5	Billie Holiday [MGM] (1959) more music like this by Billie Holiday This two-LP set features the best of Billie Holiday's Decca recordings. The 24 selections include such classics as "Them There Eyes," "Lover Man," "Don't Explain," "Crazy He Calls Me," "Now or Never" and "Good Morning Heartache," not to mention a 1950 version of "God Bless the Child." All of this material has since been reissued on CD. Scott ... see all copies from $8.23! new only from $8.23!
6	The World of Nat King Cole (2005) more music like this by Nat King Cole Easily the longest of any Capitol single-disc compilation, 2005's The World of Nat King Cole also benefits from a fresh remastering of its material to make it the best introduction to the interpretive brilliance of Nat King Cole. Nearly all the hits that need to be here are indeed present: "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Route 66," "Nature Boy," ... see all copies from $18.88! new only from $29.15!
7	Perfectly Frank (1992) more music like this by Tony Bennett Perfectly Frank is just that -- a group of covers that came to define Frank Sinatra as a vocal legend. Here, Tony Bennett pays homage to "the Voice" in a way only he can. This massive, 24-track compilation runs through the list of standards that made Sinatra legendary. "Night and Day," "East of the Sun (West of the Moon)," and "The Lady Is a Tramp ... see all copies from $1.99!
8	Point of No Return (1961) more music like this by Frank Sinatra At the time he recorded his final Capitol album, Point of No Return, Frank Sinatra was no longer interested in giving his record label first-rate material, preferring to save that for his new label, Reprise. However, someone persuaded the singer to make the album a special occasion by reuniting with Axel Stordahl, the arranger/conductor who helped ... see all copies from $4.85! new only from $15.11!
9	Judy in Love/Alone (2002) more music like this by Judy Garland In 2002, S&P released Judy in Love/Alone, which contained two albums -- Judy in Love (1958, originally released on Capitol) and Alone (1957, also originally on Capitol) -- by Judy Garland on one compact disc. Tim Sendra, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.90! new only from $15.49!
10	Basin Street East (1961) more music like this by Peggy Lee see all copies from $3.25! new only from $11.13!
11 view cover	First Lady of Song (1949) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This attractive three-CD set gives listeners an overview of Ella Fitzgerald's Verve recordings, although the inclusion of seven previously unissued cuts (in addition to 44 that are mostly available in more complete form elsewhere) will frustrate some completists. However the careful selection of representative performances along with the ... see all copies from $43.83! new only from $43.83!
12 view cover	Come What May (2001) more music like this by Paula West On her third CD, singer Paula West demonstrates that she isn't adverse to risk taking, which is a rather refreshing idea for a young performer. With a soulful voice, a great range, and the ability to get the most out of each set of lyrics, this confident singer seems capable of taking on any song in which she takes an interest. Although the ... see all copies from $6.22! new only from $6.22!
13 view cover	Close Your Eyes (1997) more music like this by Stacey Kent Stacey Kent has a very appealing voice, and her delivery is full of joy, enthusiasm, and subtle creativity. Sticking mostly to veteran standards on this CD (only "Sleep Warm" was written after the 1950s), Kent sounds delightful while joined by a fine mainstream quintet. Jim Tomlinson contributes some tenor solos reminiscent in tone of Stan Getz, ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $14.29!
14 view cover	20 Classic Tracks (1981) more music like this by Frank Sinatra see all copies from $10.54! new only from $10.54!
15 view cover	At the Waldorf Astoria/At the Sands (2002) more music like this by Lena Horne Due the permanence of film, Lena Horne may be destined to be best known for her guest appearances in a series of MGM musicals, but her real strength was live performance, whether she was dancing on the stage of the Cotton Club in her teens or sweeping across the stage of a Las Vegas casino hotel in her forties. This discount-priced two-fer reissue ... see all copies from $13.62! new only from $13.62!
16 view cover	The Billy May Sessions (1951) more music like this by Nat King Cole Nat King Cole recorded with arranger/bandleader Billy May on several occasions and all of their collaborations are on this excellent double-CD The Billy May Sessions. Dating from 1951, 1953, 1954, 1957 and 1961, some of the more memorable numbers include "Walkin' My Baby Back Home," "Angel Eyes," "Papa Loves Mambo," "Send for Me," "Who's Sorry Now ... see all copies from $14.18! new only from $24.28!
17 view cover	Sings the Johnny Mercer Song Book (1964) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Along with her Rodgers and Hart collection, this is one of the best of Ella Fitzgerald's songbooks. Fitzgerald's assured and elegant voice is a perfect match for Mercer's urbane lyrics and Nelson Riddle's supple arrangements. In light of this decorous setting, it's not surprising that Mercer's swagger-heavy numbers like "I Wanna Be Around" and ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $13.91!
18 view cover	Peggy at Basin Street East (2002) more music like this by Peggy Lee see all copies from $11.94! new only from $15.37!
19 view cover	R.S.V.P. (Rare Songs, Very Personal) (2004) more music like this by Nancy Wilson Nancy Wilson's R.S.V.P. (Rare Songs, Very Personal) is her duets album, but unlike other recent releases by singers in this format, which feature two vocalists (and often oddly matched ones, at that), most of the pairings here are with instrumentalists like George Shearing, Toots Thielemans, Phil Woods, and Gary Burton, which means this remains ... see all copies from $7.71! new only from $16.81!
20 view cover	Perfectly Frank: An American Classic Celebrates 80 (2006) more music like this by Tony Bennett Perfectly Frank is just that -- a group of covers that came to define Frank Sinatra as a vocal legend. Here, Tony Bennett pays homage to "the Voice" in a way only he can. This massive, 24-track compilation runs through the list of standards that made Sinatra legendary. "Night and Day," "East of the Sun (West of the Moon)," and "The Lady Is a Tramp ... see all copies from $6.29! new only from $6.29!
21 view cover	Classic Judy Garland: The Capitol Years 1955-1965 (2002) more music like this by Judy Garland In his book Judy Garland: The Day-by-Day Chronicle of a Legend, Scott Schechter wrote for August 1955: "Judy signed a...recording contract with Capitol Records, where she would make her finest recordings." As annotator, co-producer, and co-compiler of Classic Judy Garland: The Capitol Years 1955-1965, Schechter is able to give substance to his ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $12.00!
22 view cover	Piano Grand Master (2003) more music like this by Art Tatum Largely self-taught, Art Tatum became one of the most accomplished pianists of the 20th century, and his polyrhythmic inventiveness on the instrument has seldom -- if ever -- been equaled. British record label Proper has assembled a budget-priced, four-disc box set spanning Tatum's prime years, an impressive 90-plus tracks (and a detailed 44 page ... see all copies from $23.04! new only from $23.04!
23 view cover	Songs for Distingué Lovers (1957) more music like this by Billie Holiday During the six days and four sessions covered by this 1997 CD (which in its original form consisted of six songs), Billie Holiday recorded 18 titles; a dozen of the best are here, although "Comes Love" is unaccountably missing. This were the last series of extensive small-group recordings that Lady Day would make in the studios. Although her voice ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
24 view cover	Ellington at Newport (1956) more music like this by Duke Ellington Duke Ellington's appearance at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival has long been famous, and justifiably so. Paul Gonsalves' 27-chorus tenor solo on "Diminuendo in Blue and Crescendo in Blue" practically started a riot at Newport and made headlines around the world. The momentum generated by this concert led to Ellington's comeback and never let up ... see all copies from $2.97!
25 view cover	Concerts in the Sun (2002) more music like this by Cal Tjader One of the things that hardcore jazz collectors love to do is fantasize about all of the live recordings by major artists that have gone unreleased but may surface eventually -- performances that were taped and ended up in the private collection of an artist, promoter, club owner, manager, or soundboard person. Collectors are always hoping that a ... see all copies from $11.98! new only from $15.19!
