1	When Harry Met Sally (1989) more music like this by Harry Connick Jr. Harry Connick, Jr.'s vocals perfectly fit the moods throughout the 1989 Billy Crystal film When Harry Met Sally. This soundtrack album (which stands apart from the movie) was a big hit and a major step forward for the young pianist-vocalist, although it appears to have been the high point of his career. Connick warmly sings such numbers as "It Had ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
2	The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong (1997) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong from Verve contains a selection of 15 duets the two jazz legends recorded for the label over the years. Clearly, this set isn't of particular interest to hardcore collectors, since they'll already own much of the material, but as a sampler targeted at casual fans, this is quite nice indeed, since it ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.99!
3	Ella and Louis Again (1957) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong Over the years, there have been different incarnations of Ella and Louis Again, which has been a single LP, a two-LP set, a single CD, and a two-CD audiophile set from Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. There are no compelling reasons why someone who already owns the audiophile version of Ella and Louis Again that Mobile Fidelity put out in 1995 would ... see all copies from $17.69! new only from $17.69!
4	The Gershwin Songbooks (1952) more music like this by Oscar Peterson In what was a giant undertaking (even for producer Norman Granz), pianist Oscar Peterson recorded ten Songbook albums during 1952-1954 and when his trio changed, nine more in 1959. Both of his George Gershwin projects (one from 1952 and the other from 1959) have been reissued in full on this single CD. The earlier date matches the brilliant ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
5	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 $20.72!
6	Our Love Is Here to Stay: Ella & Louis Sing Gershwin (1998) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong By no means does this CD contain all of the Gershwin that Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recorded together for Norman Granz, nor is it entirely an Ella/Louis album. Rather, it is a hopscotch yet nevertheless unified sampler of the Verve Gershwin archive, ingratiatingly programmed so that Ella and Louis sing together, trade off solo renditions ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $7.07!
7	Pure Gershwin (1987) more music like this by Michael Feinstein Pure delight. Feinstein's reading of other composers is very, very good, but his feeling for Gershwin (as might be expected from a man who worked with Ira Gershwin for years) is near perfect. Feinstein's piano playing is excellent here, and he relishes every syllable of the words. 'S wonderful. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.88! new only from $10.76!
8	Nice Work If You Can Get It (1983) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald with Andre Previn Ella Fitzgerald, who in the late '50s recorded the very extensive George and Ira Gershwin Songbook, revisits their music on this duet outing with pianist André Previn. Her voice was past her prime by this point, but she was able to bring out a lot of the beauty in the ten songs, giving the classic melodies and lyrics tasteful and lightly swinging ... see all copies from $8.46! new only from $8.46!
9	Great Ladies Sing Gershwin (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Great Ladies Sing Gershwin samples performances from some of the legendary composer's best interpreters. Consistently engaging throughout, the disc's highlights include Ella Fitzgerald's "Nice Work if You Can Get It," Sarah Vaughan's "Someone to Watch Over Me," Dinah Washington's "Summertime," and Betty Carter's "The Man I Love." Raymond ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $3.12!
10	Fred Astaire's Finest Hour (2003) more music like this by Fred Astaire It's obvious from a moment's thought that Fred Astaire's finest hour occurred in the movie studio, not the recording studio. And while Astaire's musical career was fine indeed, his best performances date from the '30s, when "Night and Day" or "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails" weren't pop standards but a pair of magical, effervescent songs just ... see all copies from $5.16! new only from $8.13!
11 view cover	Great Ladies of Jazz [Rebound] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Though there are only 12 tracks on this collection, the selections are impeccable: two standards by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington each, plus individual tracks by Lena Horne, Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln and Shirley Horn. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.31! new only from $6.19!
12 view cover	Steppin' Out: Astaire Sings (1994) more music like this by Fred Astaire see all copies from $5.75! new only from $5.96!
13 view cover	The Astaire Story (1988) more music like this by Fred Astaire Because he was world renowned as a dancer and quite popular as a movie actor, Fred Astaire has tended to be underrated (if not completely overlooked) as a jazz singer. Although not really an improviser, Astaire's phrasing always swung and his occasional vocals on record were usually a joy. This two-CD set is something special for it features ... see all copies from $8.00!
14 view cover	The Complete Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong on Verve (1956) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong Almost all of these summit meetings have been in print virtually since CDs first appeared in listeners' lives, but never in one package. Here, you get all of Ella and Louis, the double-album sets Ella and Louis Again and Porgy and Bess, and two live tracks recorded at the Hollywood Bowl in 1956 -- all in an unusual three-CD album that partially ... see all copies from $34.49! new only from $44.60!
15 view cover	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz. It's quite a stretch to compile the roughly seven-decade career of Ella Fitzgerald in 18 tracks, though this ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
16 view cover	The Complete Gershwin Songbooks (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The Complete Gershwin Songbooks collects three discs also released separately: 'S Wonderful, 'S Marvelous and 'S Paradise. The first two discs include the greatest vocalists Verve had to offer, including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Anita O'Day, Shirley Horn, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Bing Crosby, Joe Williams, Fred ... see all copies from $31.88! new only from $31.88!
17 view cover	Lady Day: The Master Takes and Singles (2007) more music like this by Billie Holiday Billie Holiday's story is so huge, her artistry so vast, and her impact so incalculable, that even attempting to corral a representative sampling of it within a single collection of recordings is an overwhelming, perhaps foolhardy task. Many have tried, of course, and literally hundreds of options of varying quality and legitimacy, scattered ... see all copies from $20.87! new only from $42.74!
18 view cover	Gershwin Goes Latin/Friml and Romberg in Cuban Moonlight (2002) more music like this by Stanley Black Stanley Black was a jazz pianist and British dance band arranger who matured into a successful composer of film scores as well as a prolific creator of mostly instrumental thematic easy listening albums. Gershwin Goes Latin and Friml and Romberg in Cuban Moonlight are definitive examples of Black's excellent approach to lounge music. The Gershwin ... see all copies from $19.86! new only from $19.86!
19 view cover	Latin Lace/Latin Affair (1999) more music like this by George Shearing In 1999, EMI released Latin Lace/Latin Affair, which contained two complete albums -- Latin Lace (1958, originally released on Capitol) and Latin Affair (1959, originally released on Capitol) -- by George Shearing on one compact disc. Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide see all copies from $19.18! new only from $19.18!
20 view cover	Gershwin Plays Rhapsody in Blue [Shout Factory] (2003) more music like this by George Gershwin see all copies from $6.95! new only from $13.09!
21 view cover	The Great American Songbook (2006) more music like this by Fred Astaire Distinct from Columbia's Essential Fred Astaire volume of three years earlier, The Great American Songbook mostly deals with Astaire's earliest (and best) recordings, performances from the early to mid-'30s when he was the premiere interpreter of Broadway's best songwriters -- Gershwin, Berlin, Porter, and Kern. Always debonair and relaxed ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
22 view cover	Standard Time [Finer Arts] (1994) more music like this by Sam Harris see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
23 view cover	The Very Best of Louis Armstrong [Verve] (2003) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Many labels have attempted to compile the "best" of legendary trumpeter Louis Armstrong's body of work -- a Herculean task if ever there was one. The best albums have been those that focus on a particular era in the jazz innovator's career and don't attempt to cover everything. This double-disc import from Verve collects some of Armstrong's best ... see all copies from $31.52! new only from $31.52!
24 view cover	Songs for Distingué Lovers (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 $8.90! new only from $13.71!
25 view cover	Starring Fred Astaire [Columbia] (1989) more music like this by Fred Astaire This 36-track album traces Fred Astaire's recordings from June 1935 to September 1940, including his number one hits with "Cheek to Cheek," "I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket," "The Way You Look Tonight," "A Fine Romance," "They Can't Take That Away From Me," "Nice Work If You Can Get It," and "Change Partners." In addition to his movie ... see all copies from $15.00!
