1	My Funny Valentine: The Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1993) more music like this by Various Artists One of the choicest of Verve's many venerable songbook releases, My Funny Valentine spotlights some of the jazz canon's best moments in song; and how could it be otherwise, considering the program features the core of Rodgers & Hart's monumental song canon? That's why it's an all-star affair, with such singing royalty as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah ... see all copies from $5.55! new only from $10.14!
2	Bobby Short Celebrates Rodgers & Hart (1975) more music like this by Bobby Short Bobby Short is the Frank Sinatra of the supper clubs. Like Sinatra, Short is a consummate entertainer, a true professional. But the distance between Caesar's Palace and the Café Carlyle is approximately equal to the distance between Hoboken and uptown Manhattan, and Short's style is absolutely uptown. He has none of the hardscrabble swagger that ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $13.09!
3	I'll Take Romance (2002) more music like this by Beegie Adair One reason that the great pop standards of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s are great pop standards is that they have proven versatile. Though usually written for Broadway or Hollywood musicals, they were taken up by pop musicians while still new, and over the years served as vehicles for jazz players before being transformed by Frank Sinatra and his ... see all copies from $7.10! new only from $10.96!
4	Unforgettable (1995) more music like this by Johnny Hartman Combining songs from two 1966 ABC-Paramount LPs (Unforgettable Songs by Johnny Hartman and side two of I Love Everybody) onto one CD, the Impulse! label presents this smooth-voiced baritone backed by brassy orchestration for the first time since his dates with the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band. This proves to be a fine marriage, though lacking the ... see all copies from $9.50! new only from $10.69!
5	Roberta (1995) more music like this by Roberta Flack see all copies from $4.29! new only from $9.20!
6	Romance on Film/Romance on Broadway (2000) more music like this by Michael Feinstein Romantic inspiration can be found in many places, but song stylist Michael Feinstein finds his in motion picture film scores and Broadway musicals on his third Concord Jazz release. Romance on Film/Romance on Broadway is a two-CD set filled with great romantic ballads such as "The More I See You," "The Second Time Around," "All the Way," and the ... see all copies from $7.47! new only from $20.93!
7	Isn't It Romantic: Capitol Sings Rodgers & Hart (1992) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.99! new only from $9.39!
8	Beauty and the Beat! (1959) more music like this by Peggy Lee/George Shearing Upon its first release Beauty and the Beat! was billed as a live recording from a Miami convention of disc jockeys. Though Peggy Lee and George Shearing did in fact perform there (and attempts were made to record them for later release), the songs heard on the subsequent LP were recorded in the studio and overdubbed with rather obvious canned ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $26.19!
9	There's a Small Hotel (2000) more music like this by David Wilson see all copies from $8.90! new only from $13.17!
10	The Michael Feinstein Anthology (2002) more music like this by Michael Feinstein With selections drawn from three releases dating back to 1987 and up to his 1996 Gershwin collection, this anthology demonstrates not so much that Feinstein is a great singer, but that he is a kind of Barry Manilow for people with long memories. The appeal of the two artists is almost identical -- their arrangements lush and melodramatic, their ... see all copies from $33.62! new only from $33.62!
11 view cover	My Funny Valentine [Blue Note] (1953) more music like this by Chet Baker At his peak, Chet Baker's playing and singing were original, compelling, and unforgettable; his voice had an innocent, intriguing quality and surprising range, while his trumpet work was as striking and melodically stunning as anyone who's ever worked predominantly in the middle register. These 14 cuts were done in 1954 as Baker turned heads on ... see all copies from $9.69! new only from $9.69!
12 view cover	Rendezvous: Jazz for Intimate Dining (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.36!
13 view cover	Beauty and the Beat! [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Peggy Lee/George Shearing Originally recorded in 1959 upon its first release, Beauty and the Beat! was billed as a live recording from a Miami convention of disc jockeys. Though Peggy Lee and George Shearing did in fact perform there (and attempts were made to record them for later release), the songs heard on the subsequent LP were recorded in the studio and overdubbed ... see all copies from $9.32! new only from $9.32!
14 view cover	Sings the Rodgers and Hart Song Book [Vol. 2] (1956) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This second and final volume of Ella Fitzgerald's superb Rodgers & Hart songbook matches the high standard of the first, thanks to another beguiling mix of ballads and swingers. Once again, arranger Buddy Bregman deftly shifts between brassy brightness and after-hours opulence, allowing Fitzgerald's supple voice to shine through. With more of an ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $10.14!
15 view cover	Swingin' Down the Lane/Hello, Young Lovers (2002) more music like this by Richard Maltby After a career as a sideman and arranger during the swing era, Richard Maltby began leading his own band in the 1950s, retaining his swing sensibility. He enjoyed some success on RCA Victor's "X" and Vik labels in the mid-'50s, then in 1958 moved to Columbia Records, where he recorded two albums, Swingin' Down the Lane and Hello, Young Lovers, ... see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
16 view cover	The Swinging Mr. Rogers (1955) more music like this by Shorty Rogers This Lp has one of trumpeter Shorty Rogers' finest small group sessions of the 1950's; fortunately the music has been reissued by Mosaic on CD in a box set. Rogers, Jimmy Giuffre (on clarinet, tenor and baritone), pianist Pete Jolly, bassist Curtis Counce and drummer Shelly Manne are the epitome of cool on a well-rounded and consistently ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.28!
17 view cover	The Tatum Group Masterpieces, Vol. 6 (1956) more music like this by Art Tatum For this CD, the sixth volume of Art Tatum's eight group recordings for Norman Granz in the 1950s, the remarkable pianist is teamed with bassist Red Callender and drummer Jo Jones. Due to the presence of his sidemen, Tatum is slightly restricted as far as changing keys and tempoes at will, but his playing is still often stunning. Highlights of the ... see all copies from $7.41! new only from $8.92!
18 view cover	Classic Jazz for Lovers (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.21!
19 view cover	I Thought About You (1987) more music like this by Shirley Horn This live set (recorded at Hollywood's Vine St. Bar and Grill) was Shirley Horn's "comeback" album after many years in which she purposely maintained a low profile as she raised her daughter. Typical of Horn's music ever since, she sings intimate ballads with her trio (which includes bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams) and plays very ... see all copies from $5.34! new only from $10.70!
20 view cover	Live at the Floating Jazz Festival (1999) more music like this by Johnny Frigo Violinist Johnny Frigo may not have the name recognition of Stephane Grappelli, Joe Venuti or Stuff Smith, but this octogenerian swings with the best of them on this live CD from Hank O'Neal's popular Floating Jazz Festival. His light understated approach to "My Romance" is rather subtle, while his delightful lines in "My Favorite Things" are ... see all copies from $10.53! new only from $14.32!
21 view cover	Hollywood Stampede (1945) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins Hawkins led one of his finest bands in 1945, a sextet with the fiery trumpeter Howard McGhee that fell somewhere between small-group swing and bebop. This CD contains all of that group's 12 recordings, including memorable versions of "Rifftide" and "Stuffy"; trombonist Vic Dickenson guests on four tracks. This CD concludes with one of Hawkins' ... see all copies from $10.00!

24 view cover	The Complete Improv Recordings (2004) more music like this by Tony Bennett For those new to the music of Tony Bennett, Improv was a label started by Tony Bennett and businessman Bill Hassett. Bennett was fed up with the suits at Columbia Records, who were trying to make him sing rock & roll. When his contract expired at the beginning of the 1970s, he and Hassett formed a label to help him realize his aesthetic ambitions, ... see all copies from $35.14! new only from $35.14!
