1	You've Got Mail [Original Soundtrack] (1998) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Nora Ephron's charming, good-natured remake of The Shop Around the Corner was the definitive upscale urban romantic comedy of the late '90s (or at least 1998), so it's only appropriate that the accompanying soundtrack fits the film like a glove. A canny mix of familiar oldies, forgotten treasures, new songs, and an excerpt from the score, the ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $16.52!
2	Live and Swingin': The Ultimate Rat Pack Collection [CD & DVD] (2003) more music like this by The Rat Pack As a double-dose audiovisual document of the Rat Pack, this two-disc package -- one a CD, one a DVD -- more than lives up to its title. Disc one is an audio-only CD culled from performances given by Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis, Jr. at a Chicago nightclub between November 26 and December 2, 1962, over half of which is previously ... see all copies from $21.94! new only from $21.94!
3	The Very Best of Nat King Cole [Capitol] (2006) more music like this by Nat King Cole This generous anthology, with 28 tracks and close to 80 minutes of music, is one of the best single-disc sets on the market of Nat King Cole's pop side. Spanning over 20 years, from 1943 to 1964, The Very Best of Nat King Cole includes most of his biggest hits for Capitol Records, like 1946's "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66," 1950s "Mona Lisa," 1951 ... see all copies from $16.51! new only from $16.51!
4	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 $4.95! new only from $8.04!
5	Sinatra-Basie (1962) more music like this by Frank Sinatra The long-awaited first collaboration between two icons, Count Basie and Frank Sinatra, did something unique for the reputations of both. For Basie, the Sinatra connection inaugurated a period in the '60s where his band was more popular and better-known than it ever was, even in the big-band era. For Sinatra, Basie meant liberation, producing ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.00!
6	Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music (1981) more music like this by Lena Horne The success of Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music, which opened at the Nederlander Theater on Broadway on May 12, 1981, and ran 333 performances, until June 30, 1982 (Horne's 65th birthday) was a cumulative one. Horne had been performing in nightclubs, theaters, and casinos for 40 years, singing many of the same songs she sang at the Nederlander, ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $26.31!
7	The Billy May Sessions (1951) more music like this by Nat King Cole Nat King Cole recorded with arranger/bandleader Billy May on several occasions and all of their collaborations are on this excellent double-CD The Billy May Sessions. Dating from 1951, 1953, 1954, 1957 and 1961, some of the more memorable numbers include "Walkin' My Baby Back Home," "Angel Eyes," "Papa Loves Mambo," "Send for Me," "Who's Sorry Now ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $24.28!
8	Pearls (1985) more music like this by Judy Carmichael The CD reissue of what was originally a Statiras set by pianist Judy Carmichael expands the original ten song program to 18. Carmichael teams up with cornetist Warren Vache, guitarist Howard Alden and bassist Red Callender for a spirited set of classic jazz and swing standards. Seven of the eight "new" selections are actually alternate takes so ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.54!
9	All of Me (2005) more music like this by Anne Murray All of Me is a rather peculiar entry in Anne Murray's discography. After releasing I'll Be Seeing You in October of 2004, Straightway essentially reissued it (not even modifying the artwork, save for the title) with a second disc of Anne Murray's greatest hits. Die-hard fans should not be fooled by this attempt to purchase the same album twice, ... see all copies from $19.13! new only from $19.13!
10	The Very Best of Cleo Laine: 34 Classic Hits (1997) more music like this by Cleo Laine This two-CD set may be titled The Very Best of Cleo Laine: 34 Classic Hits but it is actually a lesser reissue. Drawing its material from Laine's RCA recordings of 1974-1996, the set is pretty light on jazz despite cameos from Clark Terry, Gerry Mulligan, Toots Thielemans and Joe Williams. While the occasional jazz tracks give one a feeling of ... see all copies from $17.84! new only from $17.84!
11 view cover	Somewhere over the Rainbow (1981) more music like this by Willie Nelson Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a collection of more '40s pop standards, as arranged by Willie Nelson. While it isn't quite a continuation of what he did on Stardust and Always on My Mind, the record is a safe resting spot and something all the grandmas can enjoy. James Chrispell, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
12 view cover	G.I. Jukebox: Original Hits from Swing Era (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $18.49! new only from $26.46!
13 view cover	The House I Live In (2002) more music like this by Tony Danza see all copies from $15.69! new only from $15.69!
14 view cover	Art Tatum at His Piano, Vol. 1 (1945) more music like this by Art Tatum On the first of two LPs featuring Tatum live at the Crescendo Club in 1950, the great pianist interprets a dozen standards in familiar but impressive fashion. His routines on some tunes became set pieces but still were quite remarkable as evidenced by this fine performance. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.95! new only from $13.59!
15 view cover	Arthur Prysock and Count Basie (1965) more music like this by Arthur Prysock and Count Basie Seven saxes are led by Lockjaw Davis in a big band that drives Prysock. Eleven songs, the best of which are, "I Could Write a Book" and "Don't Go Fo' Strangers." Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
16 view cover	At Mister Kelly's [Bonus Tracks] (1957) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan During the mid-'50s, Sarah Vaughan spent most of her time recording songbook standards backed by a large orchestra in florid arrangements, with only the occasional breath of fresh air like her masterpiece, 1954's Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown. Four years after that milestone, another landed with the live album At Mister Kelly's. Recorded quite ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
17 view cover	The Very Best of Fats Waller [Collectors' Choice] (2000) more music like this by Fats Waller see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!
18 view cover	At Newport (1957) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Holiday Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Holiday at Newport presents the naturally intriguing results when Verve paired two sets recorded two days apart (over the 4th of July weekend, 1957) by the two best female singers of the 20th century. Unfortunately, circumstances weren't in their favor, as the combined factors of an unsympathetic band (for Fitzgerald) and ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $8.24!
19 view cover	Now and Again (2003) more music like this by Jim Kweskin Band/Samoa Wilson Big Grammy wins in recent years for tradition minded recordings like O Brother Where Art Thou? and Norah Jones' Come Away With Me show that the music industry and its fans will embrace traditional styles if done well. 60s folkster Jim Kweskin was more known in his heyday as a club performer and touring support act (the Doors, Janis Joplin, Peter, ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
20 view cover	Snowy Morning Blues (1930) more music like this by James P. Johnson James P. Johnson was one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time, and in the 1920s was considered the "king of the stride piano." This Decca reissue CD contains a great deal of valuable music. Johnson is first heard on four classic piano solos from 1930 ("You've Got to Be Modernistic" and "Jingles" are particularly memorable) and then on eight ... see all copies from $19.76!
21 view cover	Frank Rosolino (1954) more music like this by Frank Rosolino see all copies from $13.90! new only from $13.90!
22 view cover	The Pop Parade: Hits (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $50.27! new only from $50.27!
23 view cover	I Just Wanted to Hear the Words (2004) more music like this by Danny Aiello Given the track record of actors-turned-singers, it's easy to be suspicious that Danny Aiello's 2004 album I Just Wanted to Hear the Words is nothing but a vanity project, which he himself admits in the liner notes. But in those very liner notes he argues against that idea, claiming that he's been singing for years, long before he became an actor, ... see all copies from $12.89! new only from $12.89!
24 view cover	The Magic of Sarah Vaughan [Prism] (2002) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan The advantage of the 50-year limit on recording copyrights in Europe is that it makes available vintage tracks at modest prices; this budget compilation runs nearly 74 minutes and contains 25 selections. But the disadvantages of public-domain material are also apparent here, unfortunately. The Magic of Sarah Vaughan contains few annotations, and ... see all copies from $6.99!
25 view cover	Ramblin' Rose [Disky] (1999) more music like this by Nat King Cole see all copies from $4.29! new only from $10.29!
