1	The Essential Benny Goodman [Bluebird/Legacy] (2007) more music like this by Benny Goodman One of at least seven entirely different compilations that brandish the word "Essential" in their titles, this double-disc anthology of 40 classic swing performances actually does convey the essence of Benny Goodman, and is therefore highly recommended. The recordings, most of them cut in the Victor and Columbia studios between 1934 and 1945, are ... see all copies from $19.31! new only from $22.14!
2	Songs for Young Lovers/Swing Easy! (1955) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Combining Frank Sinatra's first two ten-inch albums for Capitol, the compact disc Songs for Young Lovers/Swing Easy! not only contains some of the best music Sinatra recorded, it captures a turning point in popular music. Songs for Young Lovers was the first album Frank Sinatra recorded for Capitol, as well as his first collaboration with Nelson ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $5.10!
3	Judy [32 Jazz] (1998) more music like this by Judy Garland Producer Joel Dorn acquired rights to the audio and video recordings of the 1963-4 television series The Judy Garland Show, but then became more ambitious in creating this four-CD (plus half-hour VHS tape) box set. Apparently with the assistance of Garland fan Scott Schecter, Dorn acquired other Garland recordings, notably airchecks, and licensed ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $115.62!
4	Best of Clifford Brown (1953) more music like this by Clifford Brown Blue Note's The Best of Clifford Brown is a soild collection of highlights from Brown's recordings for Blue Note and Pacific Jazz.

While his original recordings remain the best way to understand his achievements, this 13-track ... see all copies from $7.25! new only from $10.79!
5	The Man Who Invented Soul [Box Set] (2000) more music like this by Sam Cooke This set is near essential to fans of Sam Cooke, despite the fact that it contains none of his gospel recordings for Specialty Records or any of the work from the final year of his career (owned by ABKCO Records). Scattered every few minutes across this four-disc collection are reminders of just how far ahead of all existing musical forms Cooke ... see all copies from $39.30! new only from $42.74!

8	Out of This World [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Maureen McGovern see all copies from $11.23! new only from $13.78!
9	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 $43.48! new only from $43.48!
10	The Jazz Giants Play Harold Arlen: Blues in the Night (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Harold Arlen's songs have such a natural, unforced feeling for jazz and the blues that jazz musicians have long found plenty of room to explore them and take off from there. With marching orders in hand, Fantasy has raided its Riverside, Prestige, Pablo, Contemporary, Galaxy and Milestone archives for a most impressive collection of big names ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

12 view cover	Leslie on TV/ More Leslie on TV (1999) more music like this by Leslie Uggams The 1962 album Leslie on TV and its 1963 sequel, More Leslie on TV, are resurrected on this 1999 release. Neither album charted and none of the songs were hits, but the CD adds as a bonus track Uggams' sole pop hit, "One More Sunrise (Morgen)," from 1959. This is a single that peaked at number 98, though, so what are the selling points for this ... see all copies from $12.18! new only from $12.18!

18 view cover	Classic Costa (1990) more music like this by Johnny Costa Johnny Costa's obscurity is due to his decision to spend his career playing background piano for many years on the children's show Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. This CD was his first unaccompanied solo session, and it makes one wonder what took so long. Nearly 70 at the time, Costa proves to be a virtuoso whose florid technique could be mistaken for ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.83!

Johnson and Fats Waller, along with Folds' exploration of ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $10.78!

A female announcer speaks (mostly in German); Miller alternates between German and English, and Johnny Desmond sings quite effectively in ... see all copies from $1.99!
21 view cover	Blue & Sentimental (1954) more music like this by Guy Laffite On Blue & Sentimental, tenor saxman Guy Laffite leads a quartet through a series of ballads originally composed by the likes of Count Basie (the title track), Duke Ellington ("Krum Elbow Blues"), and Ted Koehler ("Get Happy," "I've Got the World on a String"), among others. It's a rather laid-back and unchallenging set that's intended more for ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $8.50!
22 view cover	Jazz in Paris: The Real Cat (2001) more music like this by René Thomas Rene Thomas was a Belgian guitarist who hoped to make it big on the international jazz scene following his move to Paris and a flurry of recording activity in the 1950s and early 1960s, though his goal ultimately eluded him. This CD in Verve's Jazz in Paris reissue series combines two separate dates originally made for Barclay and Polydor. For the ... see all copies from $5.10! new only from $9.92!
23 view cover	Art Tatum's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Art Tatum There are many Art Tatum samplers to choose from on the market and all of them contain moments of brilliance. As part of Verve's Finest Hour series, the blind virtuoso pianist is spotlighted on versions of "Liza," "Tea for Two," "Deep Purple," "Tiger Rag," and "Rosetta." Tatum is heard unaccompanied and with small combos on this 19-song budget ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.45!
