1	Here's to Life (1991) more music like this by Shirley Horn Shirley Horn's meeting with a string section and an orchestra arranged by Johnny Mandel has some exquisite moments although sometimes it is just overly sweet. Horn recorded with her trio (which includes bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams) first, emphasizing slow ballads. Mandel used the pianist-vocalist's improvisations and chord ... see all copies from $2.20! new only from $16.81!
2	The Ballad Style of Stan Kenton (1958) more music like this by Stan Kenton Stan Kenton's early arrangements set the tone for his orchestra, but through the years, he generally farmed out the writing chores to other talented arrangers who could move the big band forward. However, he did arrange occasional ballad charts, and this 1958 album (reissued on CD in 1997) showcases Kenton's writing. The Ballad Style of Stan ... see all copies from $7.15! new only from $10.79!
3	Ars Nova (1968) more music like this by Ars Nova Ars Nova's sole release was intermittently intriguing eclectic psychedelic rock with a slight classical influence, as well as some unusual instrumentation in the bass trombone of lead singer Jon Pierson and the trumpet and string bass of Bill Folwell. The songs -- often linked by brief interludes -- are a mixed bag, though, that seem to indicate a ... see all copies from $12.55! new only from $12.55!
4	The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by Miles Davis What you get on Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions is a rather unwieldy four-disc box set (in a longbox; remember those?) containing the complete recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet with Red Garland, Paul Chambers, John Coltrane, and Philly Joe Jones recorded for Prestige, and remastered and repackaged according to chronology rather than ... see all copies from $34.57! new only from $51.80!
5	30 by Ella (1999) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Included here are 30 standards arranged into six extended medleys, showcasing Fitzgerald's extraordinary interpretative powers. Benny Carter is in charge of the arrangements with his "Magnificent Seven" providing the faultless backing. Along the way we also hear some fine fills and solo work from Carter, George Auld, Harry "Sweets" Edison, and ... see all copies from $14.11! new only from $14.11!
6	Swing Is Here (1996) more music like this by Dick Hyman Pianist Dick Hyman pays tribute to small-group swing with a collection of 15 swing-era tunes. Hyman is joined by vibraphonist Peter Appleyard, who sometimes purposely emulates Lionel Hampton, as well as clarinetist Ken Peplowski (nodding toward Benny Goodman), trumpeter Randy Sandke, veteran tenorman Frank Wess (whose solos are actually the most ... see all copies from $9.77! new only from $17.86!
7	Voice of the Southland (1997) more music like this by Gene Austin During the second half of the '20s, Gene Austin was the most popular singer in the U.S., his airy tenor and jaunty style generating dozens of hits with Roaring Twenties anthems like "Yes Sir! That's My Baby" and "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue," though his most popular songs were the ballads "My Blue Heaven" and "Ramona." Compiler/producer Peter ... see all copies from $39.94!
8	Everything's Coming Up Rosie (1977) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Rosemary Clooney's first album for the Concord label set the standard for her work of the next 20 years. Long associated with middle-of-the-road pop music, Clooney really excelled in the jazz-oriented settings with the Concord All Stars. Although she does not really improvise, her very pleasing voice and subtle phrasing should appeal to most jazz ... see all copies from $8.90! new only from $10.35!
9	The Commodore Master Takes (1939) more music like this by Billie Holiday If you're a completist who insists on having everything that Billie Holiday recorded, The Complete Commodore Recordings is required listening. But for the more casual listener, it's best to pass on that two-CD set and stick with The Commodore Master Takes. While The Complete Commodore Recordings contains all of the alternate takes that Holiday ... see all copies from $6.49! new only from $10.29!
10	After Hours (1997) more music like this by Scott Hamilton see all copies from $6.12! new only from $6.12!
11 view cover	Pastorale (2007) more music like this by Steve Kuhn Steve Kuhn has recorded a wide variety of music in his career, sometimes as a sideman (including with Sheila Jordan, Art Farmer, Kenny Dorham and Stan Getz), and more often as a leader. On Pastorale, he returns to his bop-oriented roots. Playing straight-ahead jazz with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Billy Drummond, Kuhn digs into seven vintage ... see all copies from $10.93! new only from $14.95!
12 view cover	16 Most Requested Songs (1993) more music like this by Benny Goodman 16 Most Requested Songs is a midline-priced collection that spotlights many of Goodman's best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including "Let's Dance," "Avalon," "Somebody Stole My Gal," "Why Don't You Do Right," "After You've Gone," "Stompin' at the Savoy," "How Am I to Know?" and "Sing Sing Sing." Although it's far from ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
13 view cover	That Sentimental Gentleman (1996) more music like this by Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra That Sentimental Gentleman collects 25 performances recorded for NBC on remote broadcasts by Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra between 1940 and 1944, a period just after the prime years of the band. Though there aren't any true rarities here, the sound quality is good for the time and the performances are hot. Highlights include Buddy Rich's drum ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
14 view cover	The New Miles Davis Quintet (1955) more music like this by Miles Davis Quintet Although they had made a few slightly earlier cuts that would later be issued on Columbia, the first full-length album by the Miles Davis Quintet is quite intriguing in that it gives one a look at tenor saxophonist John Coltrane when he still had a hesitant style. This audiophile CD reissue has the same music that is currently available on an ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
15 view cover	The Complete Commodore Recordings (1939) more music like this by Billie Holiday Billie Holiday recorded on four occasions for the Commodore label: once in 1939 (a date that resulted in "Fine and Mellow" and "Strange Fruit") and three sessions in 1944 (dates highlighted by "I Cover the Waterfront," "I'm Yours," "He's Funny That Way," "Billie's Blues," and "On the Sunny Side of the Street"). While the former session has Lady ... see all copies from $18.52! new only from $18.52!
16 view cover	Rosie Solves the Swingin' Riddle! [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Vocalist Rosemary Clooney again teams up with arranger Nelson Riddle on this 1960 release. Although they had worked on Clooney's radio show a decade earlier, Rosie Solves the Swinging Riddle! (1960) is only one of two full-length studio outings the pair embarked upon. As the singer would later disclose, she and Riddle were dancing to a tune of ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
17 view cover	Victor Silvester Jive Band (2002) more music like this by Victor Silvester see all copies from $14.86! new only from $14.86!
18 view cover	Jazz 'Round Midnight: Shirley Horn (1998) more music like this by Shirley Horn Jazz 'Round Midnight is an enjoyable budget-priced sampler of 14 songs from Shirley Horn's stint at Verve. While this collection is hardly definitive, it is quite enjoyable, sporting an appealingly low-key, seductive atmosphere and several dynamite performances, including versions of "A Time for Love," "Fever," "Loving You," "How Long Has This ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
19 view cover	Blues-ette, Pt. 2 (1993) more music like this by Curtis Fuller The original Blues-ette album was a quintet session from 1959 featuring trombonist Curtis Fuller, tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Al Harewood. Thirty-four years later, the same musicians (with bassist Ray Drummond filling in for the deceased Garrison) had a reunion for this Savoy CD. Three ... see all copies from $12.03! new only from $13.09!
20 view cover	The Collection: The Capitol Recordings [England] (2007) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!
21 view cover	Rosie Solves the Swingin' Riddle! (1961) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Although Rosemary Clooney worked with Nelson Riddle nearly every week for her '50s radio show, they were together for full LPs much less often -- only this record from 1961 and a 1963 follow-up titled Love. The pair made the most of their first collaboration, devising a program of 12 standards that combined Riddle's pugnacious yet intricate ... see all copies from $7.63! new only from $10.67!
22 view cover	Sextet (1950) more music like this by Benny Goodman In 1950, Benny Goodman formed a new sextet, and although he used a big band for some recordings, the small group was his main outlet for the next couple of years. This CD features this somewhat forgotten unit, a hot swing combo featuring vibraphonist Terry Gibbs and usually pianist Teddy Wilson. Rather than repeat his older hits, the clarinetist ... see all copies from $43.64!
23 view cover	Yearnings (2003) more music like this by Bobby Gordon & Bob Wilber There's something to be said for gently swinging, decorous, small-ensemble jazz. Quite a lot to be said, actually -- in a marketplace dominated by overbearing, thousand-notes-a-minute show-offs. Artists who can make their musical statements concisely, and without bombast, are to be treasured. Of course, there's also something to be said for energy ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
24 view cover	The Girl Singer [Bluebird] (2002) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney The Girl Singer, Rosemary Clooney's volume in the Bluebird's Best series, spotlights her talents as a swinging post-big band vocalist between 1958 and 1961, when she was basically hitless but still recording some great material (including many arrangements by Nelson Riddle and excellent duet albums recorded with Bing Crosby and Pérez Prado). ... see all copies from $4.10! new only from $12.93!
25 view cover	In Private (2004) more music like this by Norman Simmons Veteran pianist Norman Simmons plays quite beautifully throughout this disc, with the emphasis generally being on slower tempos. Most exquisite are three unaccompanied piano solos ("It Could Happen to You," "How Am I to Know" and "Chopin Waltz") that show how complete a pianist Simmons has always been. His interplay with bassist Lisle Atkinson and ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
