1	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 $8.15! new only from $9.92!
2	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 $11.99! new only from $28.60!
3	Blue Barron & His Orchestra (2001) more music like this by Blue Barron see all copies from $8.94! new only from $13.59!
4	The Four Freshmen and 5 Trombones/4 Freshmen and 5 Trumpets (1996) more music like this by The Four Freshmen In the mid-'50s, the Four Freshmen embellished a couple of their albums with brass quintets to provide a mildly jazzy touch. This CD reissue combines both of those records (Four Freshmen and 5 Trombones, 1956; 4 Freshmen and 5 Trumpets, 1957) onto one CD. It offers characteristic pop harmony numbers that differ little from their typical '50s ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $15.07!
5	The London Years 1939-1943 (1939) more music like this by George Shearing Most of pianist George Shearing's earliest recordings are included on this enjoyable swing-oriented CD. During the war years, when he was in his early 20s, Shearing was most influenced by Teddy Wilson, Earl Hines and Art Tatum, but even at that early stage, he was developing his own musical personality. A virtuoso from the start, Shearing is in ... see all copies from $10.88! new only from $16.39!
6	Golden Greats (2002) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Dutch reissue label Disky's three-CD, 74-track Golden Greats compilation of Ella Fitzgerald recordings runs more than three and half hours, which is about the best thing you can say for it. The double jewel box lists song titles and accompanying performers in small print on the back, and that's it for annotations; there isn't even a CD booklet. So ... see all copies from $3.48! new only from $20.59!
7	From Battersea to Broadway (2002) more music like this by George Shearing Early recordings by George Shearing have been usually been reissued in a scattershot, rather incomplete fashion, but this 97-track boxed-set compilation includes just about everything he recorded between 1939 and 1951 for labels such as Decca, Parlophone, Ace of Clubs, Savoy, Discovery, and MGM, along with a few songs that made their first ... see all copies from $17.00! new only from $17.00!
8	As Time Goes By (2000) more music like this by Tony Martin This compilation was assembled by the British budget label Prism Leisure, taking advantage of the 50-year copyright limit on recordings in Europe to transfer old records onto a CD without the bother of paying the original copyright holders for licensing. (In the U.S., the tracks remain in copyright, yet this import was readily available ... see all copies from $8.00!
9	Jazz and Velvet (2004) more music like this by Mel Tormé Only the most intrepid Mel Tormé fans have collected his early recordings, which were made from the mid-'40s to the early '50s for a handful of independent labels (Musicraft, Decca, Capitol) and had never been definitively collected before. In yet another feat of anthologizing, the enthusiasts at Proper made history by compiling 95 Tormé ... see all copies from $17.54! new only from $40.19!
10	For Lovers Only: WCBS New York, Vol. 4 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Collectables' four-volume For Lovers Only series is an enjoyable, if unexceptional, set that collects some of the most romantic pop, R&B, and doo wop singles from the late '50s and early '60s. Somewhat confusingly, it came in two different versions. There's a "general" version, and then there is a version of the set that is presented as if the ... see all copies from $8.67! new only from $8.67!
11 view cover	Capitol From the Vaults, Vol. 4: Love Letters (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This fourth installment of Capitol Records' label retrospective, Capitol From the Vaults, is hopelessly and head-over-heels devoted to love. The label presents a cornucopia of primarily post-WW II pop tunes that have become standards over time. This collection, subtitled "Love Letters," offers up 25 tracks about love: lost, found, forgotten -- and ... see all copies from $12.88! new only from $14.78!

14 view cover	I Can't Give You Anything But Love (2003) more music like this by Mel Tormé The back cover of this Mel Tormé compilation from the Rajon label boasts "Recordings by Original Artist." A high claim indeed, and one that's borne out by each of these 20 tracks. No more information is given about the recordings, however, which date from the mid-to-late '40s, around the time of Tormé's hit "Careless Hands" (not included here). ... see all copies from $18.97!

16 view cover	The Savoy Years and More (1999) more music like this by Jimmy Scott The three-CD box set includes 66 songs, arranged in chronological order, opening with six tracks cut in 1952 and concluding with nine tunes recorded in Chicago in 1972. Charles Mingus and sax player Budd Johnson can be heard on Disc One, tracks 10-13, which include Scott's inspired version of "When Did You Leave Heaven." When it comes to ... see all copies from $34.52! new only from $34.52!
17 view cover	Zimbabwe (1983) more music like this by Abdullah Dollar Brand Ibrahim This was a nicely blended, somewhat mellow and seemingly quite finished recording by Abdullah Ibrahim with Carlos Ward (alto sax, flute), Essiet Okun Essiet (bass), and Don Mumford (drums) called Zimbabwe. Interspaced with non-originals were four Ibrahim compositions, most of which were inspired by the imagery from Ibrahim's South African roots. ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $8.79!

20 view cover	Golden Greats [Disky] (2002) more music like this by Billie Holiday Like other entries in its Golden Greats series, this compilation from Dutch label Disky is a bare-bones miscellany of tracks recorded by the featured artist and transferred from secondary sources according to the more liberal copyright laws in effect in Europe. It has length and price going for it, sprawling across three CDs containing 73 tracks, ... see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
21 view cover	History of Rock: For Lovers Only, Vol. 4 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Collectables' History of Rock: For Lovers Only is an enjoyable, if unexceptional, four-volume set that collects some of the most romantic pop, R&B, and doo wop singles from the late '50s and early '60s. The fourth volume, containing 14 selections, features the Flamingos' "I Only Have Eyes for You," the Dreamlovers' "When We Get Married," Little ... see all copies from $12.18! new only from $12.18!

Also included are 16 sides Tormé recorded on his own for Musicraft from 1946 to 1948, plus ten airchecks from Tormé's radio program during the summer of 1948, when he effected a reunion of the Mel-Tones, ... see all copies from $13.19! new only from $18.50!
