1	Sings Cole Porter (1955) more music like this by Mabel Mercer A great song stylist working in a perfect lyric setting. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.70! new only from $7.70!
2	The Bethlehem Years (2005) more music like this by Mel Tormé Like Frank Sinatra's classic LPs for Capitol and Ella Fitzgerald's songbook series on Verve, Mel Tormé's recordings for the Bethlehem label hit such dramatic heights in artistry -- and maintained them -- that the artist would never quite escape their excellence despite remaining a respected and rewarded performer for decades afterward. Bethlehem ... see all copies from $8.90! new only from $10.18!
3	The Smiling Hour (2007) more music like this by Greta Matassa Greta Matassa is something of a contemporary legend in the Northwest due to her incredible vocal skills. On this, her fourth album (at least on local Origin Records), she continues to showcase her excellent abilities. Her vocals are lilting where they should be, heavier where they should be, and she's one of the few contemporary jazz vocalists ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $12.85!
4	Jazz Is Love (2006) more music like this by Various Artists This sampler from the Everest catalog is meant to stimulate sales during the Valentine's Day season. Surprisingly, only three of the 15 songs have vocals and it is a bit of a stretch calling some of these numbers love songs. It does serve as a good excuse for a variety of ballads and melodic pieces from the 1950s and early '60s (with the Django ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.48!
5	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!
6	Composers on Broadway: Cole Porter (2006) more music like this by Various Artists As part of Decca Broadway's Composers on Broadway series, 11 of Cole Porter's beloved classics are spotlighted. Excerpts from Dubarry Was a Lady, Anything Goes, Wake Up and Dream, Leave It to Me, Red, Hot and Blue, Kiss Me, Kate, and a bonus track from Something for the Boys round out the set. Top-notch performances by Ethel Merman, Bing Crosby, ... see all copies from $8.94! new only from $8.94!
7	Comin' Home Baby! And Other Hits (1997) more music like this by Mel Torme Aside from being a gifted jazz singer (he was forced to do a lot of pop material throughout his career to survive), Mel Torme was also an actor, a solid songwriter, an arranger (he handled the chart arrangements for most of his recordings), a credible drummer, and a more than competent author, but it is as a singer that he will always be ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.47!
8	1933-37 (1996) more music like this by Eddy Duchin Take Two Records presents "The Elegant Eddy Duchin" with 1933-37, a chronologically jumbled cross-section of recordings made by this highly successful pianist and his hugely popular dance band between August 8, 1933 and May 14, 1937, with vocals by Lew Sherwood, Jerry Cooper, Harold Arlen, the DeMarco Sisters and Buddy Clark. Handsome, suave and ... see all copies from $15.80! new only from $15.80!
9	Comin' Home Baby! [Compilation] (2006) more music like this by Mel Tormé Mel Tormé brought a solid jazz sensibility to pop music with his seemingly effortless singing, and as one of those singers who could cover an office memo and make it sound like the most natural melody in the world, he didn't really need chart hits to validate his art. Which is a good thing for this brief, ten-song compilation, because it really ... see all copies from $5.76! new only from $5.76!
10	West Coast Jazz (2005) more music like this by Shorty Rogers see all copies from $17.47! new only from $17.47!
11	Hot & Blue, Vol. 1-2 (2005) more music like this by Bill Allred's Classic Jazz Band see all copies from $8.00!
12 view cover	Broadway: America's Music Composers on Broadway (2006) more music like this by Various Artists The rating for this somewhat awkwardly titled six-CD set may seem positive, but given the music contained herein, not to mention the performing talent, it should have been much higher, much as the package itself should be better -- indeed, this is more a matter of damning with faint praise. The contents (which are also available as individual CD ... see all copies from $55.94! new only from $55.94!
13	Memories of Hal Kemp (1957) more music like this by Henry Jerome & His Orchestra This carefully, skillfully concocted tribute to dance band leader Hal Kemp was a Roulette release in 1957, then surfaced once again on the Forum budget line. The simple cover illustration shows a conductor's baton lying in between two sheet music scores, which look like somebody erased all the notation and then took bites out of the charts ... see all copies from $7.80!
14 view cover	Horn O' Plenty [Compilation] (2005) more music like this by Charlie Shavers Volume four in Lone Hill Jazz's five-CD Charlie Shavers series, Horn O' Plenty combines all of the music from three sessions dating from the 1950s. The first four selections feature Shavers in a septet with trombonist Benny Morton and clarinetist Hank D'Amico. "Story of the Jazz Trumpet" is narrated by Al "Jazzbo" Collins and has Shavers doing ... see all copies from $8.16! new only from $8.16!
