1	Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio (1957) more music like this by Stan Getz & The Oscar Peterson Trio This very enjoyable CD for the first time gathers together all of the music recorded at this timeless session. Tenor-saxophonist Stan Getz is joined by pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown for a well-rounded set filled with appealing standards, three Getz originals (two of which are blues) and a fine ballad medley. ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
2	Jazz Goes to College (1954) more music like this by Dave Brubeck Quartet Dave Brubeck (piano) began his Columbia Records association on a second album of material that his quartet had cut during its spring of 1954 tour of North American college campuses, Paul and Dave's Jazz Interwoven (1954) being the first. Joining Brubeck are Paul Desmond (alto sax), Bob Bates (bass), and Joe Dodge (drums), whose support of Brubeck ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
3	On the Other Side (2007) more music like this by Tierney Sutton Few jazz vocalists set out to deconstruct a standard as thoroughly as Tierney Sutton does. Her past albums have hovered around a theme but none as devotedly as On the Other Side, which takes the simple concept of happiness and turns it on its ear. Sutton could have approached classics like "Happy Talk," "Make Someone Happy," "Happy Days Are Here ... see all copies from $8.98! new only from $11.59!
4	Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins (1953) more music like this by Thelonious Monk With Sonny Rollins This disc contains an all-star cast headed up by Thelonious Monk (piano) and includes some collaborative efforts with Sonny Rollins (tenor sax) that go beyond simply inspired and into a realm of musical telepathy. The five tunes included on Work are derived from three separate sessions held between November of 1953 and September of the following ... see all copies from $8.58! new only from $8.58!
5	Sonny Stitt/Bud Powell/J.J. Johnson (1949) more music like this by Sonny Stitt/Bud Powel/J.J. Johnson This superb CD reissues the complete output of three classic bop sessions including five "new" alternate takes. Sonny Stitt (who plays tenor throughout) is heard in a quintet with trombonist J.J. Johnson, pianist John Lewis, bassist Nelson Boyd and drummer Max Roach (playing three Johnson compositions and the original version of John Lewis's ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
6	Stompin' at the Savoy [ASV/Living Era] (2002) more music like this by Chick Webb Diminutive fireball Chick Webb led the most explosive swing band of the '30s, and though the group was far too active to enter the studio as much as they deserved, it's easier to sum up their recordings with a single disc. (In fact, the completist Classics series needed only two volumes to sum up Webb's decade behind the drums of his own band.) ... see all copies from $7.81! new only from $11.30!
7	No, No, Nanette [Broadway Cast 1999 Reissue] more music like this by Broadway Cast Recording Though this album is billed as the "original Broadway cast recording," that doesn't mean the same thing it usually does in this case because it contains a recording of the 1971 Broadway revival cast of No, No, Nanette. But there was no original Broadway cast album of the original 1925 production (indeed, there were no albums then, period), so the ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $11.06!
8	Complete Prestige Recordings (2000) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Thelonious Monk was only with Prestige from 1952-1954, which explains why Fantasy's The Complete Prestige Recordings contains only three CDs. But Monk's Prestige output is noteworthy and generally rewarding, if imperfect at times. Not everything on The Complete Prestige Recordings is essential, but for the serious Monk collector, its rewards are ... see all copies from $24.74! new only from $24.74!
9	Black Orchid (1956) more music like this by Cal Tjader This CD has all of the music originally on the two LPs Cal Tjader Goes Latin and The Cal Tjader Quintet. Since each album had two sessions apiece, the CD does a fine job of giving one a sampling of the influential vibraphonist's popular Latin jazz groups of the era. Among the key sideman are flutist Paul Horn; Jose "Chombo" Silva on tenor; ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
10	Sing, Sing, Sing [Bluebird] (1935) more music like this by Benny Goodman A fine all-around single CD, it sums up Benny Goodman's 1935-1939 period on Victor. During this time BG became jazz's and popular music's number one attraction, achieving this impressive feat without watering down his music or emphasizing novelties. All Goodman did was play the music he loved and the audience magically responded and started ... see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!
11 view cover	Sassy Swings Again (1967) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan Vaughan ended her longstanding and career-defining tenure at Mercury with this fine set from 1967. Entering her autumnal prime, Vaughan effortlessly ignites such chestnuts as "Take the 'A' Train" (one of the best interpretations of the Billy Strayhorn classic), "I Want to Be Happy," and "Sweet Georgia Brown." She also dips into some rarely heard ... see all copies from $18.00!
12 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!
13 view cover	Hard to Find Pop Instrumentals, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Hard to Find Pop Instrumentals, Vol. 2 is a 21-song collection of instrumentals from the early '50s to the late '60s. The disc is overflowing with memorable memories drawn from a wide range of styles, including Western themes ("Apache" by Jorgen Ingmann and "The Bonanza Theme" by Al Caiola), jazz ("Alley Cat" by the improbably named Bent Fabric & ... see all copies from $14.25! new only from $14.25!
14 view cover	The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 2 [Expanded] (1951) more music like this by Bud Powell The influential bebop pioneer (who not only set the standard for bop pianists but largely invented the style) is heard on fine trio performances from 1951 (with bassist Curly Russell and drummer Max Roach) and 1953 (during which he is matched with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor). Highlights include "A Night in Tunisia," "Reets and ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
15 view cover	Every Day: The Best of the Verve Years (1993) more music like this by Joe Williams In effect, this double-disc set, released in anticipation of Joe Williams' 75th birthday, is two compilation albums in one. The first CD, containing material recorded between 1955 and 1957, presents the artist singing with Count Basie and His Orchestra at the start of Williams' national career, when he and Basie scored a major R&B hit with the ... see all copies from $20.63! new only from $20.63!
16 view cover	First Affair/Voices in Fun (2005) more music like this by The Four Freshmen see all copies from $18.58! new only from $18.58!
17 view cover	State of Art (2000) more music like this by Art Van Damme see all copies from $17.05! new only from $17.05!
18 view cover	Tempus Fugue-It (2001) more music like this by Bud Powell This is a fascinating, revelatory, deeply moving, and completely captivating collection of Bud Powell material that hasn't readily seen the light of day before, despite the fact that almost all of it has been commercially released at one time or another. The material over these four discs ranges from pre-bebop years, with Cootie Williams from 1944 ... see all copies from $19.21! new only from $19.21!
19	Road Show, Vol. 1 (1959) more music like this by Stan Kenton & His Orchestra Recorded with June Christy & Four Freshmen, this is a fine live recording from 1959. June Christy is a bit below par due to a cold on the day of the recording. Kenneth M. Cassidy, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.00!
20	Golden Medleys (1976) more music like this by Guy Lombardo see all copies from $2.49!
21 view cover	Move Over Darling (1997) more music like this by Doris Day Doris Day was not only among the most prodigiously talented singers of the 20th century, but among the most resilient -- that's the only way to explain the worth of this eight-CD set, which encompasses Day's output 20 years after her initial breakthrough to pop stardom. She was obviously no longer on the cutting edge of music in 1960, the year ... see all copies from $20.32! new only from $206.81!
22 view cover	Harlem Saturday Night (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.29! new only from $5.29!
23 view cover	Cuttin' Capers/Bright and Shiny (1995) more music like this by Doris Day This discount-priced two-fer combines two up-tempo Doris Day albums from the late '50s and early '60s. The discs were not released sequentially; 1959's Cuttin' Capers was followed by two 1960 releases, What Every Girl Should Know and Show Time, before Bright and Shiny appeared in 1961. But the two albums share a sprightly tone. The theme of Bright ... see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!
24 view cover	My Heart Sings (1996) more music like this by Polly Bergen see all copies from $10.24! new only from $13.93!
25 view cover	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 $5.93! new only from $17.64!
