1	No Big Surprise: Anthology (1994) more music like this by Steve Goodman This posthumous compilation, released on Goodman's own Red Pajamas label, spans two discs: the first highlighting his best studio cuts, with the second disc exclusively devoted to live tracks. About half of the songs are previously unreleased material or unreleased live recordings. This is probably overkill for the casual fan who just wants the ... see all copies from $18.88! new only from $24.68!
2	Golden Years of Al Jolson (2005) more music like this by Al Jolson see all copies from $9.91! new only from $9.91!
3	The Very Best of Al Jolson [Pearl] (2002) more music like this by Al Jolson While some may with good reason prefer his earliest recorded performances (a mysterious body of work comprising the true and magical heart of the Jolson legacy), Al Jolson's Decca recordings from 1945-1949 represent the mature culmination of decades spent perfecting one of the best-known acts in all of show business. Listening through 28 tracks ... see all copies from $16.13! new only from $16.13!
4	The Pied Piper of Happiness (2001) more music like this by Ted Lewis Said to be the final recording by vaudeville legend Ted Lewis, this 1957 session is lush with swank accompaniments by a studio orchestra augmented with strings. For years this rather Vegas-sounding album was among the few Ted Lewis recordings easily obtainable on LP. Now it serves as an oddly pleasant epilogue to his earlier, more jazz-connected ... see all copies from $34.90!
5	Say It in Private (1977) more music like this by Steve Goodman Steve Goodman reached the charts with his first two albums for Asylum Records, Jessie's Jig & Other Favorites (1975) and Words We Can Dance To (1976), and that may have convinced the label to spend more money on his next LP (money intended to be recoupable against royalties should the album take off, of course), because the sessions for Say It in ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $9.54!
6	The World's Greatest Entertainer (2000) more music like this by Al Jolson After staying away from the recording studio for 13 years, Al Jolson signed to Decca Records in 1945. A year later, the label's faith was justified by Jolson's career resurgence in the wake of the success of the film biography The Jolson Story, and from then until his death in 1950 he recorded successfully, often remaking his earlier hits in a ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
7	A Million Memories (2000) more music like this by Ted Lewis Ted Lewis was 65 years old and nearly in his 50th year in entertainment when he recorded this LP, also his last, in 1957. While most performers could properly be presumed to suffer from some decline in their skills and abilities, Lewis carried on in this last extended visit to the recording studio without skipping a beat, and the result is not ... see all copies from $7.00!
8	Best of Max Bygraves (2000) more music like this by Max Bygraves see all copies from $7.38! new only from $13.34!
9	Live on QE2 (2001) more music like this by Clark Terry Quintet Flugelhornist Clark Terry, who was nearly 79 at the time of this live recording, was still in fine form; in fact, in remarkably good shape considering his age and his instrument. Terry and his regular band of the period (with altoist David Glasser, pianist Don Friedman, bassist Marcus McLaurine, and drummer Sylvia Cuenca) are joined on a number or ... see all copies from $14.72! new only from $14.72!
10	Radio Stars of America (2006) more music like this by Al Jolson see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
11	Back in Action (1992) more music like this by Gabe Baltazar Quartet Gabe Baltazar has long been one of the most underrated alto saxophonists in jazz. Because he long ago chose to live in Hawaii, his talents (which were earlier heard with the Stan Kenton Orchestra) have been overlooked, but this V.S.O.P. CD signalled a higher profile on the mainland when it was released. Backed by pianist Tom Rainier, bassist ... see all copies from $15.19! new only from $15.19!
12 view cover	2 Horns, 2 Rhythms (1957) more music like this by Kenny Dorham Quartet Trumpeter Kenny Dorham was one of the most underrated talents of the bop and hard bop eras. Although he did not hit high note or influence a lot of players, Dorham's appealing sound and consistently creative ideas should have made him a star in the jazz world instead of just a journeyman. On this CD reissue (which adds an alternate take of " ... see all copies from $9.88! new only from $9.88!
13 view cover	The Decca Years & More (1991) more music like this by Bill Haley & His Comets Any casual listener looking over this 132-track five-CD set would probably conclude that it was far more Bill Haley than they need bite off in one gulp -- and they'd be right, as casual listeners. For the serious rock & roll enthusiast, as well as the hardcore Bill Haley fan, however, there's a wealth of worthwhile material to be found here, some ... see all copies from $87.18! new only from $87.18!
14 view cover	Goodbye, Blues (2005) more music like this by The Mills Brothers The closest of the close harmony groups, the Mills Brothers (John Jr., Herbert, Harry, and Donald) gained a million-seller with their very first release, 1932's "Tiger Rag"/"Nobody's Sweetheart," and ended up captivating the world for over three decades of hits and a performing career that lasted an additional 30 years. Living Era's two-disc ... see all copies from $22.09! new only from $22.09!
15 view cover	Remember When (1999) more music like this by Orrin Tucker & Bonnie Baker see all copies from $7.94!
16 view cover	Wingy Sings, Manone Plays: Great Hits (2000) more music like this by Wingy Manone Wingy Manone made these 24 good time small-band swing recordings for the Vocalion, Okeh, Banner, Perfect and Bluebird imprints between January 15, 1935 and July 7, 1936, cheerfully rasping the Tin Pan Alley lyrics, blowing his trumpet and egging the band on in the manner of Louis Armstrong or Fats Waller. The Waller connection is most evident in ... see all copies from $9.13! new only from $9.13!
17 view cover	The Very Best of Ozzie Nelson, Vol. 2: 1934-1936 (2002) more music like this by Ozzie Nelson Before being known as Ricky Nelson's father, Ozzie Nelson was an enormously popular bandleader and vocalist playing light dance music with romantic or novelty themes. The Very Best of Ozzie Nelson, Vol. 2: 1934-1936 is a budget-priced, 25-track selection of such sentimental and downright silly tunes as "She's a Latin From Manhattan," "I'll Never ... see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
18 view cover	Kings of Western Swing, Vol. 1 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.74! new only from $4.10!
19 view cover	The Very Best of Al Jolson [Prism] (1997) more music like this by Al Jolson This British budget disc provides practically no annotations beyond song titles and an unsigned, generic three-paragraph biography of Al Jolson, but those titles include many of Jolson's signature songs. For the most part, the tracks turn out to be low-quality transfers of the recordings Jolson made for Decca Records in the second half of the '40s ... see all copies from $2.39!
20 view cover	Swingin' Down Yonder (1955) more music like this by Dean Martin Dean Martin sounds unusually engaged on his first 12-inch LP to be recorded as such, a concept album of songs relating to the South and recorded in Dixieland style. Always stimulated by good material (when he could get it) that showcased his flair for the lighthearted, Martin essays songs associated with such predecessors as Louis Armstrong, Al ... see all copies from $11.98!
21 view cover	I'm in the Mood for Love (1997) more music like this by Frances Langford see all copies from $8.50!
22 view cover	Swingin' Down Yonder [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Dean Martin Dean Martin sounds unusually engaged on his first 12" LP to be recorded as such, a concept album of songs relating to the South and recorded in Dixieland style.

24 view cover	Southern Gentleman of Song (2001) more music like this by Phil Harris Southern Gentleman of Song is an affordable but brief CD with 11 performances from Phil Harris' radio program, which he co-hosted with his wife, actress Alice Faye. Recorded circa 1949, these airshots were broadcast in the midst of Harris' hitmaking period with RCA, but only one hit song ("That's What I Like About the South") is featured. Harris ... see all copies from $10.23! new only from $10.23!
25 view cover	The Hymn (2001) more music like this by Clark Terry While it didn't see release until 2001, this quintet date was recorded in 1993 at New York's Birdland, which at the time was still on 105th Street (it would soon move to 44th, near Times Square). Joining trumpet legend Clark Terry in the front line is the young alto saxophonist Jesse Davis, who is quite at home with the bop-oriented material at ... see all copies from $11.17! new only from $11.17!
