1	Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Cole Porter did not die of AIDS, but he is generally acknowledged to have been at least bisexual, which seems to be the justification for assembling an AIDS charity album in which contemporary artists perform songs he wrote in the 1920s, '30s, '40s, and '50s. Producer/creators Leigh Blake and John Carlin (along with Steve Lillywhite, credited as ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.79!
2	The World of Nat King Cole (2005) more music like this by Nat King Cole Easily the longest of any Capitol single-disc compilation, 2005's The World of Nat King Cole also benefits from a fresh remastering of its material to make it the best introduction to the interpretive brilliance of Nat King Cole. Nearly all the hits that need to be here are indeed present: "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Route 66," "Nature Boy," ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
3	Sings the Cole Porter Song Book (1956) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald A striking two-CD set featuring arguably history's finest jazz singer singing some of the best-written American pop standards on one of jazz's most prolific labels. Ella Fitzgerald shines as the perfect interpreter of Cole Porter's bittersweet love songs on these 35 tracks from the Verve archives. Recorded and released on LP in 1956, Ella is ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $26.65!
4	De-Lovely (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to De-Lovely -- a film that imagines the unusual love story and marriage of classic American songwriter Cole Porter (who was gay) and Linda Lee Porter as the kind of all-singing, all-dancing production for which Porter himself might have written the songs -- is a whirl of contrasting, and occasionally clashing, performances that ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $10.75!
5	Swings Cole Porter (2004) more music like this by John Barrowman see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
6	Best of the Verve Song Books: Love Songs (1956) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Are you one of those people who can't walk through the jazz section without mooning over the lavishly packaged and heart-droppingly expensive 16-disc Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books set? If so, you're not alone, and Verve knows it. So to keep you from bemoaning your fate, the company has been releasing single-disc compilations drawn from the ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
7	Boys Night Out (2004) more music like this by The Rat Pack After Frank Sinatra's death, his record labels began to use "the Rat Pack," the term casually applied to a loose conglomeration of some of his show business friends, as a marketing concept for reissuing material by him, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. There actually were some recordings and films of the three performing together, but soon enough ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.31!
8	It's De Lovely: The Authentic Cole Porter Collection (2004) more music like this by Cole Porter Whenever great American song in general, or a classic songwriter specifically, goes through another phase of popularity, record labels invariably cast around to assemble yet another round of songbook compilations with artists from their catalog interpreting the standards. In 2004, on the occasion of the Cole Porter biopic De-Lovely (starring Kevin ... see all copies from $7.19! new only from $12.22!
9	Jump, Jive an' Wail: The Essential (2007) more music like this by Louis Prima Louis Prima had been leading orchestras for 25 years when, in 1954, he finally got something that turned out to be the biggest break of his career: a late-night lounge act at the Sahara Hotel. It certainly wasn't a coveted gig, but it soon became the hottest ticket in town, with a dynamite stage show that featured Prima, the combination fireplug ... see all copies from $11.31! new only from $11.31!
10	Songs for Young Lovers/Swing Easy! (1955) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Combining Frank Sinatra's first two ten-inch albums for Capitol, the compact disc Songs for Young Lovers/Swing Easy! not only contains some of the best music Sinatra recorded, it captures a turning point in popular music. Songs for Young Lovers was the first album Frank Sinatra recorded for Capitol, as well as his first collaboration with Nelson ... see all copies from $4.03! new only from $5.61!
11 view cover	As Time Goes By (1999) more music like this by Bryan Ferry Bryan Ferry invests considerable time and energy in cover albums (he should, considering that they compose a good portion of his solo catalog), treating them with as much care as a record of original material. He's always found ways to radically reinvent the songs he sings, so it's easy to expect that his collection of pop standards, As Time Goes ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $10.79!
12 view cover	Songs for Distingué Lovers [12 Tracks] (1957) more music like this by Billie Holiday During the six days and four sessions covered by this 1997 CD (which in its original form consisted of six songs), Billie Holiday recorded 18 titles; a dozen of the best are here, although "Comes Love" is unaccountably missing. This were the last series of extensive small-group recordings that Lady Day would make in the studios. Although her voice ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.20!
13 view cover	Dream Dancing (1972) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Originally released on Atlantic as Ella Loves Cole and then reissued on Pablo with two extra cuts from 1978, this set features the great Ella Fitzgerald (still in excellent form) backed by an orchestra arranged by Nelson Riddle performing an extensive set of Cole Porter songs. Fifteen years earlier Fitzgerald had had great success with her Cole ... see all copies from $3.89! new only from $3.89!
14 view cover	Swingin' for Schuur (2001) more music like this by Diane Schuur & Maynard Ferguson Well regarded as one of our greatest living jazz singers, Schuur seems to enjoy album titles created out of puns of her name -- prior to this there was Friends for Schuur -- but don't let the novelties distract you from this sassy, explosively brassy swing project blending her inventive vocals with Ferguson's blistering trumpet and the ensemble ... see all copies from $3.07! new only from $9.38!
15 view cover	All or Nothing at All (1955) more music like this by Billie Holiday This two-disc set features some of Billie Holiday's top Verve performances from the mid-'50s. Over the course of 28 cuts, she runs the emotional gamut from summery optimism ("Love Is Here to Stay") to pathos-rich musings ("Ill Wind"). Befitting her perennial after-hours mood while at the label, the majority of songs here feature Holiday in a low ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $19.77!
16 view cover	Night and Day, Vol. 2: Songbook (1991) more music like this by Cole Porter see all copies from $2.59! new only from $5.99!
17 view cover	The Language of Love (2003) more music like this by Carol Welsman Carol Welsman sings an easy, airy, romantic set with hints of passion and sensuality immersed in a savory palate of impressive nuance on The Language of Love. With three Juno Award nominations as well as the 2002 Vocalist of the Year award, the internationally acclaimed vocalist and pianist is appreciated more than ever. Welsman immaculately ... see all copies from $5.28! new only from $10.77!
18 view cover	Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook (1952) more music like this by Various Artists With their vast back catalog of classic vocal sides, the Verve label has been releasing a seemingly endless line of songbook collections featuring a who's who of jazz greats. Irving Berlin, Gershwin, Ellington, and Rodgers & Hart have all been feted. Now it's Cole Porter's turn. Over the course of the 17 chestnuts heard here, the likes of Fred ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $9.92!
19 view cover	The Ultimate Sarah Vaughan (1997) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan Dee Dee Bridgewater compiled The Ultimate Sarah Vaughan, a 16-track selection of her best-known songs that offers an excellent introduction to her Verve recordings. Although purists and collectors will have little use for this set, it suits the purposes of neophytes and curious listeners quite well. Among the highlights are "The Sweetest Sounds," ... see all copies from $7.34! new only from $7.34!
20 view cover	Sing You Sinners (2007) more music like this by Erin McKeown With the rise of the Hollywood extravaganza and the ensuing decline of vaudeville, American music lost much of its kick and joie de vivre. However, with her album Sing You Sinners, Erin McKeown sets forth to single-handedly resurrect the wayward cast-offs of Americana and return them to center stage, but with a sparkle and humor that is a poignant ... see all copies from $4.92! new only from $10.77!
21 view cover	Sinatra: Vegas (2006) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Frank Sinatra accomplished so much in his career that the fact that he virtually created the swinging style that became known as the sound of Las Vegas at its peak seems like a mere footnote to his legacy. Perhaps it is a footnote, but it's a fascinating footnote and one that still holds sway over the popular imagination, both in their perception ... see all copies from $46.74! new only from $55.75!
22 view cover	Four Decades of Song (1999) more music like this by Shirley Bassey see all copies from $10.16! new only from $10.16!
23 view cover	Gil Evans & Ten (1957) more music like this by Gil Evans Although arranger Gil Evans had been active in the major leagues of jazz ever since the mid-'40s and had participated in Miles Davis' famous Birth of the Cool recordings, this set was his first opportunity to record as a leader. The CD reissue features a typically unusual 11-piece unit consisting of two trumpets, trombonist Jimmy Cleveland, Bart ... see all copies from $7.19! new only from $7.19!
24 view cover	Anything Goes, With Yo Yo Ma (1992) more music like this by Stephane Grappelli with Yo-Yo Ma It's obvious that this CD was marketed to the classical crowd first by its packaging and use of CBS rather than the Columbia label. Don't let that fool you; this is a jazz session with the renowned classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma joining the fun. The emphasis is on the music of Cole Porter, which was very familiar ground to Grappelli long before the ... see all copies from $5.31! new only from $9.56!
25 view cover	Things Are Getting Better (1958) more music like this by Cannonball Adderley With Milt Jackson This title provides ample evidence why Cannonball Adderley (alto sax) is considered one of the masters of his craft. Here he joins forces with Modern Jazz Quartet co-founder Milt Jackson (vibes) to create a variety of sonic atmospheres. They are backed by the all-star ensemble of Wynton Kelly (piano), Percy Heath (bass), and the one and only Art ... see all copies from $9.38! new only from $9.38!
