1	The Essential Tony Bennett [Columbia/Legacy] (2002) more music like this by Tony Bennett Like most entries in Sony/Legacy's Essential series, 2002's The Essential Tony Bennett is an excellent, exhaustive retrospective of a lengthy, hit-filled career at Columbia. Although Bennett spent time at other labels -- particularly in the '70s -- he made his best-known and greatest recordings for Columbia, from the late '50s through the '90s, ... see all copies from $6.59! new only from $10.99!
2	A Jazz Romance: A Night in With Verve (2001) more music like this by Various Artists In jazz, ballads have a way of separating the men from the boys and the women from the girls. They show what an improviser is made of emotionally. On ballads, technique for the sake of technique doesn't cut it -- you have to bring some genuine feeling and honest-to-God emotion to the table. And there is plenty of honest-to-God emotion on this four ... see all copies from $24.50! new only from $24.50!
3	Fifty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett (2004) more music like this by Tony Bennett When the first version of this impressive box set was originally released in 1991 (as Forty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett), it put the capstone upon Tony Bennett's remarkable return to prominence by looking back at a legacy that had been overshadowed by that of the colossus Sinatra. The collection methodically traced his career from his ... see all copies from $42.69! new only from $42.69!
4	MTV Unplugged (1994) more music like this by Tony Bennett Of course, Tony Bennett never was "plugged in," so the concept here is redundant, but what the hell. It's been a while since a Tony Bennett live album, and he's always terrific in concert. Certainly, he is here, singing 22 pop standards, including many of his hits and many other songs he's made his own. Elvis Costello and k.d. lang drop by, but ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.59!
5	Lovers After All (1994) more music like this by Joyce Breach/Richard Rodney Bennett It takes a special person to be a successful cabaret singer. Not only must the person have a reasonable set of vocal chords but, even more important, he/she must be a good storyteller. The fact is, many top cabaret performers aren't blessed with vocal techniques that are all that great. But they have a matchless way with the lyrics that rivets ... see all copies from $8.32! new only from $9.77!
6	The Diva Series (2003) more music like this by Blossom Dearie Blossom Dearie's time spent with Verve during the late '50s resulted in several albums of great music, and her entry in the label's 2003 The Diva Series is one of the better single-disc wrap-ups of her career. This one is much longer than Verve's previous attempts; it also does a good job of compiling most of her best moments, including "I'm Hip," ... see all copies from $9.61! new only from $9.61!
7	The Complete Capitol Collection (2006) more music like this by Liza Minnelli Containing 55 tracks on two CDs running over two-and-a-half hours, The Complete Capitol Collection presents all the recordings Liza Minnelli made for Capitol Records. Minnelli was signed to Capitol in 1963 at the age of 17, just after she had made her professional debut in the Off-Broadway musical Best Foot Forward. Over the next three years, ... see all copies from $22.10! new only from $22.10!
8	Jack Jones Paints a Tribute to Tony Bennett (1998) more music like this by Jack Jones It's always unfair when someone dismisses an artist altogether because of one corny tune he did. In the case of Jack Jones, there are those who denounce him as a cheesy Vegas lounge act because he provided the theme from the silly prime-time TV program The Love Boat. But to condemn Jones' entire career because of something cheesy he once stooped ... see all copies from $6.25!
9	I Think It's Going to Rain Today (2005) more music like this by Curtis Stigers Since signing to Concord and releasing Baby Plays Around, an album of jazz standards, in 2001, Curtis Stigers has really found his footing, and with I Think It's Going to Rain Today, he continues to recast pop and rock ballads in easy, elegant jazz settings, an approach that allows his expressive, slightly raspy voice to work its wonders. It is an ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.32!
10	It Started With a Dream (2002) more music like this by Cy Coleman The legendary songwriter has released a good handful of recordings as an artist over the years, and, if songs here like the peppy, swinging "Nothing to Do but Dance" are any indication, has a pleasant facility for bringing his own genius to life. This is a joyful collection of his classics, ranging from the Frank Sinatra hits "Witchcraft" and "The ... see all copies from $3.86! new only from $10.75!
11 view cover	The Kitty Kallen Story (1992) more music like this by Kitty Kallen see all copies from $4.54! new only from $17.11!
12 view cover	Forty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett (2003) more music like this by Tony Bennett When this impressive box set was first released in 1991, it put the capstone upon Tony Bennett's remarkable return to prominence by looking back at a legacy that had been overshadowed by that of the colossus Sinatra. The collection methodically traces his career from his first Columbia record, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," in 1950, through the hit ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $255.55!
13 view cover	Bye Bye Blackbird (2005) more music like this by Kevyn Lettau It seems as if most singers eventually get around to recording a standards album. Kevyn Lettau has mostly recorded Brazilian pop/jazz throughout her career, and Bye Bye Blackbird is not a radical break from her past. The repertoire is primarily comprised of vintage pieces including "I've Got You Under My Skin" (who hasn't recorded that song?), ... see all copies from $16.43! new only from $16.43!
14 view cover	Greatest Hits of the '50s (2006) more music like this by Tony Bennett Released the month that Tony Bennett turned 80, this LP-length compilation of his 1950s records gives a good account of his first decade of recording, even if it does not live up to the "greatest hits" claim of its title. Some of Bennett's greatest hits of the '50s are included, among them the Billboard chart-toppers "Because of You," "Cold, Cold ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
15 view cover	Loving You (1997) more music like this by Shirley Horn Shirley Horn continues in a formula that has become very popular for her. De-emphasizing her piano, Horn sings one very slow ballad after another. The intimate music, which features her trio members, percussionist Alex Acuna and most prominently the keyboards and orchestrations of George Mesterhazy, has very little variety and should be listened ... see all copies from $2.48! new only from $13.40!
16 view cover	At Carnegie Hall June 9, 1962: Complete Concert (1997) more music like this by Tony Bennett This two-CD set is recorded concert performance at its best. Originally recorded in 1962, Tony Bennett at Carnegie Hall is a testament to Bennett's live vocal ability. Backed by the Ralph Sharon Orchestra, Bennett moves far beyond his standard musical catalogue. Along with standards like "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" and "Just in Time," ... see all copies from $13.69! new only from $13.69!
17 view cover	That's What Friends Are For (1996) more music like this by Peter Land & Robert Meadmore see all copies from $3.03!
18 view cover	The Night Was Blue (2006) more music like this by Kurt Reichenbach Kurt Reichenbach, the son of drummer Bill Reichenbach, Sr., and brother of trombonist Bill Reichenbach, has worked as an actor, photographer, and graphic artist. On his recording debut as a singer, he displays a personable and friendly voice, a solid sense of swing and a strong sense of humor. A few of the tunes in his repertoire probably did not ... see all copies from $1.99!
19 view cover	Billy Stritch (1991) more music like this by Billy Stritch see all copies from $4.97! new only from $17.69!
20 view cover	The Capitol Years (2001) more music like this by Liza Minnelli Liza Minnelli recorded three LPs and a handful of singles for Capitol Records in the U.S. between 1963 and 1966, when she was between the ages of 17 and 20. British parent label EMI Records' 22-track compilation The Capitol Years ignores the singles and compresses the albums into 66 minutes, starting with the complete contents of 12 songs from the ... see all copies from $11.15! new only from $11.15!
21 view cover	Fruit (1998) more music like this by Marie Bergman Singer Marie Bergman may appear to be middle-aged in her photos, but she has a surprisingly youthful voice. Her versatility is quite impressive, and nearly all of the 15 songs she performs on this release from the Danish Stunt label are memorable. After starting off with a rapid and brief rendition of Harold Arlen's "Down With Love," she does a ... see all copies from $1.99!
22 view cover	Forty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett [Shortbox] (1991) more music like this by Tony Bennett When this impressive box set was first released in 1991, it put the capstone upon Tony Bennett's remarkable return to prominence by looking back at a legacy that had been overshadowed by that of the colossus Sinatra. The collection methodically traces his career from his first Columbia record, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," in 1950, through the hit ... see all copies from $9.91!
23 view cover	L' Essential (2003) more music like this by Liza Minnelli Liza Minnelli recorded three LPs and a handful of singles for Capitol Records in the U.S. between 1963 and 1966, when she was between the ages of 17 and 20. British parent label EMI Records' 22-track compilation Essential Liza Minnelli ignores the singles and compresses the albums into 66 minutes, starting with the complete contents of 12 songs ... see all copies from $7.63! new only from $7.63!
24 view cover	The Mad Twenties/My Personal Property (2001) more music like this by Bobby Short Collectables Records' two-fer of Bobby Short's 1959 album The Mad Twenties and My Personal Property from 1963 matches up two quite different releases on the same CD, both pleasing works on their own. The Mad Twenties, as its name suggests, is a collection of songs from the 1920s. Short and arranger/conductor Phil Moore have put together small ... see all copies from $12.18! new only from $12.18!
25 view cover	Nice & Easy (1996) more music like this by Marion Montgomery see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!
