1	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!
2	The Very Best of Nancy Wilson: The Capitol Recordings 1960-1976 (2007) more music like this by Nancy Wilson The career of Nancy Wilson has been compiled many times and in many ways, but never like this. Focusing in-depth on her Capitol recordings during the 15 years of her prime, this three-disc set is a wonderful collection for those who appreciate Wilson's ability to combine Broadway power and finesse with jazz rhythm (and a certain degree of ... see all copies from $22.24! new only from $22.24!
3	Basin Street East (1961) more music like this by Peggy Lee see all copies from $3.35! new only from $11.13!
4	Black Coffee (2005) more music like this by Al Kooper Black Coffee is Al Kooper's first new recording of solo material in more than 30 years. While Kooper, rock music's most infamous polymath, has never been entirely idle (he has continued to sporadically produce, write, arrange, perform, and hustle), he has been living in semi-retirement in Nash Vegas since the 1990s and this is a major re-entry. ... see all copies from $5.97! new only from $10.59!
5	Timeless Portraits and Dreams (2006) more music like this by Geri Allen Geri Allen's musical interests prove to be quite diverse in Timeless Portraits and Dreams, delving into jazz, spirituals, sacred works and originals, accompanied by two of the most in-demand veterans, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Jimmy Cobb, throughout most of the release. Allen''s stunning solo opener "Oh Freedom" segues directly into another ... see all copies from $4.28! new only from $5.83!
6	Just for a Thrill (2004) more music like this by Ronnie Milsap Just for a Thrill was first put into motion in 2000 when producer Jerry F. Sharell approached Ronnie Milsap about recording a standards project. Sharell proposed over 150 songs to Milsap, which were then whittled down to 40 and finally the 14 included on this Image release. Milsap's voice is in great shape. His vocals and piano complement the ... see all copies from $3.89! new only from $13.58!
7	Just for a Thrill (2005) more music like this by Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings Ever since leaving the Rolling Stones, Bill Wyman has been keeping a low profile -- which isn't quite the same thing as keeping quiet. About a decade after quitting the world's greatest rock & roll band, he formed the Rhythm Kings, a loose collective of friends, pros, and all-stars, all gathered to play the blues, soul, R&B, and old-time rock & ... see all copies from $9.35! new only from $14.77!
8	The Great Kai & J. J. (1960) more music like this by J.J. Johnson with Kai Winding This Impulse set (which was given the catalog number of A-1 when it first came out) was the first recorded reunion of trombonists J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding. Given a straight reissue on CD (the original liner notes are reproduced so small as to be largely unreadable), the music still sounds fresh and lively. With pianist Bill Evans, either Paul ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $10.69!
9	The Ultimate Collection (2007) more music like this by Kay Starr see all copies from $29.66! new only from $29.66!
10	The Best of Peggy Lee: The Blues & Jazz Sessions (1997) more music like this by Peggy Lee The Best of Peggy Lee: The Blues & Jazz Sessions is an 18-track collection that culls the highlights from Lee's 30-year tenure at Capitol Records. Since the compilation covers such a large time period, it's not surprising that the music doesn't all hold together -- it's clear when one song was recorded in the '50s and the other in the '70s. ... see all copies from $14.03! new only from $14.03!
11 view cover	Java Jive [Laserlight] (1994) more music like this by The Ink Spots There's no telling what group of Ink Spots recorded these 14 tracks, which include remakes of the group's hits like the title song and "You Only Hurt The One You Love," as well as vintage standards like "My Wild Irish Rose" and "Shine On Harvest Moon." The performances are fine, but the budget release, noting only that the tracks are "Licensed ... see all copies from $3.66! new only from $3.66!
12 view cover	Save Your Love for Me: Nancy Wilson Sings the Great Blues Ballads (2005) more music like this by Nancy Wilson Excelling at the art of blues balladry demands that a musician possess great feeling but also great control. No surprise then, that one of its greatest practitioners, Nancy Wilson, has both traits in abundance. Save Your Love for Me: Nancy Wilson Sings the Great Blues Ballads is one in a loose series of three Capitol compilations to compile her ... see all copies from $10.63! new only from $10.63!
13 view cover	Golden Greats (1985) more music like this by The Ink Spots The Ink Spots hit the American Top Ten 19 times between 1939 and 1949. Thirteen of those Top Ten hits are among the 20 tracks on this British compilation, along with the chart entries "Java Jive," "Someone's Rocking My Dream Boat," and "(It Will Have to Do) Until the Real Thing Comes Along," and the group's non-hit covers of four other songs, two ... see all copies from $17.88!
14 view cover	Golden Classics (1997) more music like this by Don Shirley Jamaican-born and classically trained pianist Don Shirley made a lot of very accessible records for the Cadence label between the years 1954 and 1964. In 1997, the budget-priced Collectables series came out with the first in a long series of Shirley reissue compilations and called it simply Golden Classics. With the exception of a solo piano ... see all copies from $7.42! new only from $7.42!
15 view cover	Light out of Darkness (A Tribute to Ray Charles) (1993) more music like this by Shirley Horn For this change of pace, singer/pianist Shirley Horn performs 15 songs associated with Ray Charles. Of course, Horn sounds nothing like Charles, but she sometimes captures his spirit on such songs as "Hit the Road, Jack," "You Don't Know Me" (which finds her switching to organ), "Makin' Whoopee" and "How Long Has This Been Going On." Joined by her ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.32!
16 view cover	Shades of Blue (1999) more music like this by Ben E. King Ben E. King is best known for his rhythm & blues recordings, so Shades of Blue is a return to his roots. He is accompanied by a band led by trumpeter Tim Ouimette that includes a single guest appearance apiece by tenor saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman and vibraphonist Milt Jackson. The orchestra is very much in the Count Basie groove, King adds ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
17 view cover	One on One (2000) more music like this by Clark Terry Right in the middle of celebrating his 79th birthday, Clark Terry went into the studio for several days to record 14 duets with a different pianist on each track, with many of them being veterans of many record dates and/or concerts with him. Terry remains one of the most easily identifiable trumpeters and flügelhorn players in jazz, so much so ... see all copies from $14.88! new only from $16.54!
18 view cover	Back to Earth (1998) more music like this by Lisa Ekdahl/Peter Nordahl Trio At first, Lisa Ekdahl's squeaky, girlish voice may seem inappropriate for the pop standards she has chosen to make her trade, but given some time, her voice and laid-back style become endearing. True, she occasionally seems mannered and borrows heavily from her inspirations (most notably Billie Holiday), but she shows signs of developing her own ... see all copies from $4.94! new only from $11.06!
19 view cover	Night Club (2000) more music like this by Patricia Barber Chicago native and classically trained pianist Patricia Barber's sixth album is a collection of downtempo standards, perfect for a rainy day. Taking on classics like "Autumn Leaves," "I Fall in Love Too Easily," "Bye Bye Blackbird," or even "Alfie" is always a risk, but her confident vocals and interpretations eradicate any doubt that she is a ... see all copies from $15.50! new only from $15.50!
20 view cover	The Definitive Soul Collection (2006) more music like this by Ray Charles Rhino's 2006 double-disc set The Definitive Soul Collection is the latest in a long list of Ray Charles compilations from Rhino, and it covers much of the same territory as the others: namely, it's a selection of highlights from his classic Atlantic recordings from the '50s. Since it doesn't have any of Ray's ABC sides of the '60s, it can't quite ... see all copies from $17.24! new only from $17.24!
21 view cover	Just for a Thrill (1996) more music like this by Lannie Garrett see all copies from $2.61! new only from $2.61!
22 view cover	Indigo Blue (1983) more music like this by Hank Crawford Hank Crawford's Indigo Blue was released in August of 1983, less than a year after his excellent comeback set, Midnight Ramble, and proves that his renewed sense of creativity was no fluke. Here he teams once more with Dr. John on piano and organ and drummer Bernard Purdie. Melvin Sparks took over the guitar chair from Calvin Newborn, and Wilber ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $10.45!
23 view cover	Jazz Moods: 'Round Midnight (2005) more music like this by Aretha Franklin With a stellar career that spans several decades, genres and hits, it's easy to forget that Aretha Franklin had her moment in the sun as an outstanding vocalist in the jazz arena. This edition in Sony's Jazz Moods series seeks to bring that avenue of her career back into the spotlight, as it has been largely overshadowed by her soul and gospel ... see all copies from $10.66! new only from $10.66!
24 view cover	Just for a Thrill (2006) more music like this by Pamela Rose Pamela Rose has a strong and versatile voice that is heard at its best on slower material when she expresses beauty through long notes. However, she also swings well at medium tempos. On Just for a Thrill, a wide-ranging program conceived by Rose and guitarist Danny Caron, she is joined on various selections by two different organ groups, a pair ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $13.99!
25 view cover	The Music of Lil Hardin Armstrong (1988) more music like this by Lillette Jenkins Lillette Jenkins is a little-known but reasonably talented pianist/vocalist who makes her debut as a leader on this CD. However, this set is much less about Jenkins as it is about Lil Hardin and her music. Chris Albertson's liner notes shed a great deal of light on Hardin's later life. 14 of Lil's songs are explored by four different groups on the ... see all copies from $10.36! new only from $10.36!
