1	How Long Has This Been Going On? (1978) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan This CD reissue features the great Sarah Vaughan in a typically spontaneous Norman Granz Pablo production with pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Louie Bellson. Sassy sounds wonderful stretching out on such songs as "Midnight Sun," "More Than You Know," "Teach Me Tonight," and "Body and Soul," among others. ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $13.91!
2	Blue Moods (1955) more music like this by Miles Davis In the '50s, the party line among New York jazz critics was that hard bop was the "true faith" and that cool jazz was lightweight and unemotional. But Miles Davis knew better. The trumpeter (whose Birth of the Cool sessions of 1949-1950 proved to be incredibly influential) was smart enough to realize that cool jazz and hard bop were equally valid ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.44!
3	That's for Me (2004) more music like this by Susie Arioli Band That's for Me is the Susie Arioli Band's third release for Justin Time and it makes a specialty of a 1930s style of swing. With influences and a knowledge of repertoire from Leadbelly to Stuff Smith, from Tammy Wynette to Ella Fitzgerald, listeners seeking an array of rarely heard songs are sure to enjoy this great collection of music. Arioli's ... see all copies from $14.75! new only from $14.75!
4	The Complete Decca Recordings (1944) more music like this by Billie Holiday Billie Holiday is heard at her absolute best on this attractive two-CD set. During her period on Decca, Lady Day was accompanied by strings (for the first time), large studio orchestras, and even background vocalists, so jazz solos from her sidemen are few. But her voice was at its strongest during the 1940s (even with her personal problems) and ... see all copies from $28.60! new only from $28.60!
5	Naturally (1979) more music like this by Mel Lewis This was the first recording by the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, made just a short time after co-leader Thad Jones surprised everyone by suddenly quitting and moving to Europe. Although Jones was gone, the band was still performing his arrangements, and all six of the charts on the set were Thad's; plus, he was the composer of five of the tunes. With ... see all copies from $16.00! new only from $16.57!
6	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 $5.79! new only from $11.13!
7	Black Coffee (1956) more music like this by Peggy Lee Peggy Lee left Capitol in 1952 for, among several other reasons, the label's refusal to let her record and release an exotic, tumultuous version of "Lover." Lee was certainly no Mitch Miller songbird, content to loosen her gorgeous pipes on any piece of tripe foisted upon her; she was a superb songwriter with a knowledge of production and ... see all copies from $12.81! new only from $12.81!
8	Sings Ballads (1985) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Rosemary Clooney continued her string of jazz sets for Concord in 1985 with this lyrical program. Clooney interprets ten ballads with the assistance of tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, cornetist Warren Vaché, guitarist Ed Bickert, pianist John Oddo (her musical director), bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Jake Hanna. Clooney's versions of such ... see all copies from $3.25! new only from $10.29!
9	Jazz Moods: A Great Day of Jazz (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A three-CD collection of the jazz compilations that hit the top of the charts and became the favorite background sounds of new jazz fans everywhere, this set has compilations for each part of a jazz lover's day. Stacia Proefrock, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.00! new only from $11.00!
10	Music for Lovers (2007) more music like this by Nancy Wilson The Music for Lovers series from EMI and Blue Note spotlights the balladic nature and romantic side of artists who have recorded for its associated labels. Nancy Wilson may not get her due as a jazz vocalist, but as a romantic balladeer she has few peers, with a voice that communicates romance and sensuality. The 12 selections come from her best ... see all copies from $11.04! new only from $11.04!
11 view cover	Incomparable! (1960) more music like this by Anita O'Day see all copies from $14.11! new only from $14.11!
12 view cover	Clifford Brown Memorial Album (1953) more music like this by Clifford Brown Like swing guitarist Charlie Christian, Clifford Brown was incredibly influential for someone who died so young. The Fats Navarro-minded trumpeter was only 25 when a car accident claimed his life in 1956, but his influence remained long after his death -- Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Woody Shaw, Donald Byrd, and Carmell Jones were among the many ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $11.04!
13 view cover	Miles Davis Plays for Lovers [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Miles Davis Miles Davis Plays for Lovers collects a number of ballads from the trumpeter's mid-'50s albums to create a lovely late-night disc for friends, night owls, and couples in love. The core band for three-quarters of the album consists of trumpeter Davis, tenor John Coltrane, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $8.10!
14 view cover	Easy Living (1977) more music like this by Sonny Rollins One of Sonny Rollins' better recordings of the 1970s, this spirited Milestone set (reissued on CD under the Original Jazz Classics imprint) finds the veteran tenor saxman adopting a thicker and raunchier R&B-ish tone. Although sticking close to the melody, he really tears into Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" and finds interesting new variations ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
15 view cover	Now Dig This! (1997) more music like this by Dennis Rowland Singer Dennis Rowland pays tribute to Miles Davis on this interesting set. With Wallace Roney or Sal Marquez filling in for Miles and contributing short trumpet solos, Terry Harrington getting a few spots on tenor, and an excellent rhythm section helping out (pianist Joe Sample, bassist Chuck Berghofer and drummer Gregg Field), Rowland performs ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.51!
16 view cover	Greatest Hits [MCA] (1995) more music like this by Billie Holiday GRP's Greatest Hits is not designed for collectors or serious fans, as it will likely frustrate them. Casual fans, however, and the curious will be well served by this 19-track collection of highlights from Billie Holiday's Decca recordings, featuring such songs as "Easy Living," "Solitude," "God Bless the Child," "T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness if I Do ... see all copies from $4.48! new only from $10.29!
17 view cover	Personal Appearance (1957) more music like this by Sonny Stitt While the comparisons to Charlie Parker were inevitable throughout a good part of his career, Sonny Stitt was very much his own man. He is in top form throughout this 1957 session made for Verve, featuring a very young Bobby Timmons on piano, bassist Edgar Willis, and drummer Kenny Dennis. Alternating between alto and tenor saxophone in a program ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
18 view cover	The Definitive Clifford Brown (2002) more music like this by Clifford Brown Trumpeter Clifford Brown had a brief career. He started playing jazz in the late '40s but was killed in a car accident in 1956 (along with pianist Richie Powell, younger brother of Bud). In that short time his interest in expanding the bebop medium is apparent on The Definitive Clifford Brown. Several of the legendary hard bop quintet sides he ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
19 view cover	Blue Gardenia (1995) more music like this by Dinah Washington Yet another sampling from the massive Dinah Washington Mercury catalog, this one shows off her tart, immaculately crisp voice in a pleasant, undemanding collection of love songs. You get a smattering of charted hits ("What a Difference a Day Makes," "Teach Me Tonight," "Unforgettable," "Soft Winds"), some standards, lots of period strings, subdued ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.44!
20 view cover	Billie Holiday: The Legacy Box 1933-1958 (1933) more music like this by Billie Holiday The logic behind this sampler is puzzling. Rather than reissue the very best of Billie Holiday's Columbia recordings on a three-CD box set or a package of her rare alternate takes, CBS tries it both ways by including 60 common selections already available in the Quintessential series along with 10 rarities that were either unissued or alternates. ... see all copies from $10.20!
21 view cover	Good Pickin's (1959) more music like this by Howard Roberts Issued in 1959, Howard Roberts' Good Pickin's was his second album for Verve as a leader. It is as straight-up a blowing date as you're likely to find, though it has wonderful harmonic invention thanks to the two arrangers on the date -- Bill Holman, who also plays tenor, and Marty Paich. The rest of the date is rounded out by pianist Pete Jolly, ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
22 view cover	The Lester Young Story [Proper] (2000) more music like this by Lester Young Proper, the famous British reissue label, has given the world a series of four-CD "Proper boxes" that contain essential recordings by legendary musicians. Proper's The Lester Young Story is an excellent introduction to this man's phenomenal artistry. Beginning with two instrumentals from his very first recording session on November 9, 1936, Proper ... see all copies from $17.42! new only from $23.63!
23 view cover	Jacintha Goes to Hollywood (2007) more music like this by Jacintha Let's face it: most people who are not seasoned jazz listeners aren't going to comprehend someone as challenging as the late Betty Carter. The best way to get people who are "jazzophobic" to start listening to vocal jazz is to expose them to artists who are quite accessible but still have taste and integrity -- people like Jacintha, whose Jacintha ... see all copies from $13.23! new only from $13.23!
24 view cover	Seven, Come Eleven (1973) more music like this by Herb Ellis/Joe Pass/Ray Brown/Jake Hanna The second Concord album was recorded the day after the first with the same lineup: guitarists Herb Ellis and Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jake Hanna. Pass would sign with Pablo but Ellis would be a fixture on the Concord label throughout the 1970s. If anything, the guitarists' rematch was a bit stronger than their first due to material ... see all copies from $14.25! new only from $14.25!
25 view cover	The Lady Sings [Proper] (2001) more music like this by Billie Holiday The digital marketplace contains a large number of Billie Holiday compilations with the phrase "Lady Sings" in the title. The one you are looking for is surprisingly inexpensive and intelligently presented. The Proper label specializes in affordably priced box sets that contain enough music -- usually around 100 tracks -- to impart a strong ... see all copies from $23.63! new only from $23.63!
