1	After Midnight: The Complete Session (1956) more music like this by Nat King Cole Trio After several years of hearing criticism from the jazz press about his decision to break up his trio and become a pop singer, Nat "King" Cole was persuaded to record this jazz set. Joined by a strong rhythm section (including guitarist John Collins), Cole welcomed four guests for several selections apiece: altoist Willie Smith, trumpeter Harry ... see all copies from $9.53! new only from $9.53!
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	Those Were Our Songs: Music of World War II (2001) more music like this by Various Artists World War II and big-band pop-era compilations are released almost as regularly as Christmas albums, and the glut has caused more harm than good; it seems any good ones are quickly swallowed up by the racks full of short, ill-advised, uninformative collections. Though any single label could never do justice to the war years, with a little clever ... see all copies from $18.67! new only from $18.67!
4	Live at the Village Vanguard (2007) more music like this by Bill Charlap Trio Some 13 years into his recording career, jazz pianist extraordinaire Bill Charlap's first live album is, perhaps, his most exquisite release to date. While virtually all of his studio albums more than adequately showcase Charlap's virtuosity, good taste, and ceaseless imagination at the keys, it took the spontaneity of the live performance -- at ... see all copies from $7.17! new only from $15.65!
5	The Lionel Hampton Quintet (1954) more music like this by Lionel Hampton In 1954, producer Norman Granz held a couple of marathon recording sessions featuring vibraphonist Lionel Hampton, pianist Oscar Peterson, bassist Ray Brown, drummer Buddy Rich, and (on April 13) clarinetist Buddy DeFranco. This set has three selections from the DeFranco date (a 17-plus-minute "Flying Home," the original "Je Ne Sais Pas," and "On ... see all copies from $10.69! new only from $10.69!
6	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!
7	Sings the Harold Arlen Song Book (1960) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Ella Fitzgerald's idea to sing the songbooks of major writers proved smart, savvy, and artful. By the time she began to record Sings the Harold Arlen Song Book in 1960, she had sung the songbooks of Duke Ellington, Rodgers & Hart, and Irving Berlin. This relaxed and tastefully arranged set showcases Fitzgerald in her prime, confidently engaging 28 ... see all copies from $32.52! new only from $32.52!
8	Come Rain or Come Shine: The Harold Arlen Songbook (1996) more music like this by Sylvia McNair/Andre Previn see all copies from $10.58! new only from $10.58!
9	I've Got the World on Six Strings (2006) more music like this by Laurence Juber Since launching his career as a member of Wingsin the '70s, the two-time Grammy winning guitarist has established himself as a world-class fingerstylist and session and film soundtrack player. He's always enjoyed paying homage to his rock roots -- most notably on LJ Plays the Beatles and One Wing -- he's also recorded some fine original material ... see all copies from $16.06! new only from $16.06!
10	Late Afternoon Jazz Vocal (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.93!
11 view cover	Ames Brothers/Destination Moon (2004) more music like this by The Ames Brothers This two-fer CD combines the Ames Brothers' self-titled 1956 album with Destination Moon, which was released two years later. These LPs were originally released on RCA Victor and had been out of print until being reissued in 2004 on Collectables. This pleasant vocal set includes standards like "Ol' Man River," "I Can't Give You Anything but Love," ... see all copies from $10.16! new only from $11.26!

13 view cover	Djangology [Bluebird] (2002) more music like this by Django Reinhardt In 1949, guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli performed together for the first time since the outbreak of World War II put an end to the classic lineup of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, with the pair reuniting in an Italian recording studio and laying down a number of tunes with a solid local rhythm section. In 1961, ... see all copies from $9.59! new only from $9.59!

15 view cover	The Lester Young Story [Proper] (2000) more music like this by Lester Young Proper, the famous British reissue label, has given the world a series of four-CD "Proper boxes" that contain essential recordings by legendary musicians. Proper's The Lester Young Story is an excellent introduction to this man's phenomenal artistry. Beginning with two instrumentals from his very first recording session on November 9, 1936, Proper ... see all copies from $17.47! new only from $17.47!
16 view cover	The Complete Dion & the Belmonts (2001) more music like this by Dion & the Belmonts This two-CD set is pretty impressive on its face -- 47 songs recorded by Dion & the Belmonts during their three-year association. The problem for all but the most hardcore fans of either Dion or the Belmonts, however, is that a lot of the material is decidedly uneven, and a good deal of it isn't rock & roll by any stretch of the imagination. That ... see all copies from $21.00! new only from $21.00!
17 view cover	Great Entertainers [Intersound] (1993) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.95!

20 view cover	Sophisticated Giant (1977) more music like this by Dexter Gordon This excellent Columbia album was recorded less than a year after Dexter Gordon's well-publicized tour of the United States following a dozen years spent living in Europe. With assistance from such other major players as trumpeters Woody Shaw and Benny Bailey, vibraphonist Bobby Gordon sounds in superlative form on Woody Shaw's "The Moontrame," ... see all copies from $10.00!
21 view cover	Swing (1998) more music like this by Bert Kaempfert In 1977, Kaempfert realized a long-standing dream and recorded an album of swing standards, produced by Decca Records head honcho Milt Gabler. Unfortunately, that album was never released in the United States, leaving an incomplete picture of the European bandleader. This two-disc set combines that unreleased material with several big-band-styled ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $19.18!

24 view cover	Golden Greats (2002) more music like this by Nat King Cole The three-CD box set Golden Greats offers, at a budget disc's price and with a budget disc's meager additions, a complex view of Nat King Cole's career. The set includes 76 tracks from his 25-year span as a pop icon, spread well throughout his various periods, and neglecting very few of his classics (among the hits on tap: "Unforgettable," "Orange ... see all copies from $6.40! new only from $6.40!
25 view cover	Downloading the Repertoire (1996) more music like this by Jack Mudurian How do you describe this one? Take an old guy who lives in a nursing home in Boston and likes to sing, pop a 90-minute tape into your hand-held cassette recorder, and challenge him to sing for 45 minutes continuously. The result is an unedited, rambling, often incoherent 129 medley that takes in the first half century of American popular song. To ... see all copies from $10.36! new only from $10.36!
