1	Trilogy (1979) more music like this by Frank Sinatra By the time the triple-record set Trilogy was released, Frank Sinatra had become somewhat of a recluse from the recording studio. An audacious, ambitious way to stage a comeback, each of the album's three records was conceived as an individual work, and each was arranged by one of Sinatra's major collaborators -- Billy May (The Past), Don Costa ... see all copies from $24.10!
2	A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night [Bonus Tracks] (2006) more music like this by Harry Nilsson With A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night, Harry Nilsson was nearly a decade ahead of Linda Ronstadt and other nouveau crooners in hiring a conductor/arranger of the pre-rock era (in this case Gordon Jenkins) and recording an album of standards before a full orchestra. And he did it better than most, proving to be a marvelous interpreter of ... see all copies from $9.96! new only from $9.96!
3	Chester & Lester [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Chet Atkins/Les Paul Chester & Lester is a beautiful and fun album by two masters. It was recorded in the mid-'70s when Chet Atkins was in his fifties and Les Paul was in his sixties. The latter had been in retirement for a decade before the recording of this album. Nashville studio musicians, including Randy Goodrum on piano and Larrie Londin on drums, back up the ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
4	As Long as I'm Singing: The Bobby Darin Collection (1995) more music like this by Bobby Darin Bobby Darin was a diverse performer, singing everything from pop and rock to Broadway and swing tunes, as well as a selection of folk and country for good measure. Darin never was lacking in ambition, trying more styles than most other pop singers. That doesn't mean he was consistent, as the four-disc box set As Long as I'm Singing: The Bobby ... see all copies from $52.90! new only from $52.90!
5	The Bob Crosby Orchestra (1990) more music like this by Bob Crosby Orchestra/Bob Cats This 1990 CD has previously unreleased performances from two versions of the Bob Crosby Orchestra in the 1950's. Although not "the most popular orchestra of the 1950s" (as claimed on its back cover), the Crosby ensemble was still pretty strong, although no longer a full-time big band. The 16 performances often sound as if the applause was added ... see all copies from $8.65! new only from $8.65!
6	Standard Time (2001) more music like this by Steve Tyrell Steve Tyrell has had a long journeyman's career in the music business, serving as record company executive, songwriter, and producer. But no one could have predicted the twist his career took in the late '90s. After he sang standards on the soundtracks of the films Father of the Bride (1991) and Father of the Bride 2 (1995), he was signed up by ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $7.70!
7	When You're Smiling (2004) more music like this by Regis Philbin What makes Regis Philbin such a great "everyman" on television is his ability to bounce between professional and spontaneous. If he's confused he wears it on his sleeve; if he's frustrated you'll know it. Philbin takes a totally different attitude when it comes to singing. His first album in over 30 years finds him being more agreeable than ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.74!
8	Gently (1996) more music like this by Liza Minnelli If anyone is entitled to cash in on the renewed renaissance of classic pop (not to mention space-age bachelor pad) music, it's Liza Minnelli, who not only has a pedigree to match the likes of Natalie Cole but also has been at it longer. At 50, Minnelli no longer has to choose between her heritage and her generation, and the assurance with which ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.00!
9	Red Door: Remember Zoot Sims (1998) more music like this by Scott Hamilton & Bucky Pizzarelli As of 1998, when this CD was released, Scott Hamilton had recorded over 30 albums as a leader for Concord. Although all are quite worthwhile, the swing tenor's consistency and unchanged style since the 1970s have resulted in a certain sameness and predictability to his recordings. This release, however, definitely stands apart from the crowd, for ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
10	Tone Poems 2 (1995) more music like this by David Grisman David Grisman doesn't stick exclusively to mandolin on this top-notch duo date with guitarist Martin Taylor, playing mandola, mandocello, tenor guitar, and guitar as well. As on this album's predecessor, the two artists play a different vintage instrument on each track, though the music this time is much more familiar to jazz fans. The ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $14.18!
11 view cover	Music for Loving (1995) more music like this by Ben Webster with Strings Combining two string albums by Ben Webster and one from Ellington sideman Harry Carney, the two-disc Music With Feeling delivers over two hours' worth of incredible ballad interpretations. Webster, of course, made his name with many an after-hours gem, and he predictably shines here amidst the lush yet tasteful orchestral charts penned by Ralph ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $20.12!
12 view cover	A Day to Remember, Vol. 2 (2006) more music like this by The O'Neill Brothers see all copies from $9.57! new only from $9.57!
13 view cover	Red (2005) more music like this by John Stevens John Stevens was a contestant on the third season of American Idol -- the season that had a notable lack of male contestants. There was John -- cleverly nicknamed "Red" by millions, due to his red hair; Jon Peter Lewis, an enthusiastic, ironic dork who came along just a little bit too early to benefit from the Napoleon Dynamite zeitgeist; George ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $4.29!
14 view cover	Swing Back to the 40s (1991) more music like this by Ray Anthony Orchestra see all copies from $2.35! new only from $14.56!
15 view cover	Saloon Songs, Vol. 3 (1989) more music like this by Jimmy Roselli see all copies from $9.00! new only from $16.39!
16 view cover	As Time Goes By (1997) more music like this by Harry Nilsson Harry Nilsson was always a maverick artist, following his own sense of style down the hallways of pop, turning out carefully crafted -- even baffling -- songs that shared no direct affinity with any other artist of his day, although in some ways he resembled Randy Newman (even recording a marvelous album of Newman covers). Both men drew on ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $9.04!
17 view cover	A Night Out With Verve (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A Night Out With Verve highlights five decades of remarkable jazz taken from the Verve catalog, spread out over four discs titled "Wining," "Dining," "Dancing," and "Romancing." This budget-priced box set includes 65 performances from jazz luminaries including Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Michel Legrand, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Louis Armstrong ... see all copies from $12.68! new only from $24.40!
18 view cover	Remembers: The Songs That Won the War 2 (2002) more music like this by Vera Lynn Many years after the close of World War II, Vera Lynn was still singing the songs remembered by countless British servicemen and women as well as anyone else who had heard her radio program Sincerely Yours . Her voice is as clear and compassionate as ever while singing the ballads "The White Cliffs of Dover," "Yours," "There'll Always Be an ... see all copies from $3.32! new only from $3.32!
19 view cover	Sentimental (1993) more music like this by Kathie Lee Gifford see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20 view cover	Swingin' Blues (1990) more music like this by Pete Fountain Clarinetist Pete Fountain interacts with musicians from both the Dixieland and country music worlds on the OK effort, Swingin' Blues. Most of the selections on the CD are the usual Dixieland standards, but the disc also includes "Walking the Floor over You," "Honky Tonk," and "Amazing Grace." This is fairly predictable but reasonably pleasing ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $15.02!
21 view cover	Professional Dreamer (1994) more music like this by Kenny Rankin Kenny Rankin sings like Chet Baker would have if Baker had had a voice. His tone is high (Rankin's speaking voice is actually fairly low) and he has a subtle, cool style. It is a bit of a surprise, but Rankin (whose previous output has been in pop music) is actually a fine jazz singer. He always sticks to the lyrics when performing veteran ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $19.68!
22 view cover	Dixieland Classics, Vol. 1 (1999) more music like this by Pete Fountain see all copies from $6.70! new only from $10.73!
23 view cover	The Essential Artie Shaw (2005) more music like this by Artie Shaw The Essential Artie Shaw collects 38 tracks recorded between 1938 and 1953 for Bluebird. The compilation does an admiral job of showcasing Shaw's skills as bandleader, composer, showman, and musician. The focus of the disc is mainly instrumentals, both in small-group and orchestral settings, with a few tracks spotlighting the vocals of Helen ... see all copies from $15.96! new only from $15.96!
24 view cover	The Third Album (1964) more music like this by Barbra Streisand see all copies from $4.00! new only from $5.94!
25 view cover	The Jazz Wedding Album: First Dances (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Regrettably, straight-ahead jazz often suffers from an image problem in non-jazz circles; in many cases, those who aren't heavily into jazz tend to think of it as overly complex, unnecessarily abstract music that the "average listener" (whatever that is) cannot possibly comprehend. And the damn-the-masses attitude that elitist jazz snobs love to ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.42!
