1	Verve Jazz Masters 51 (1957) more music like this by Blossom Dearie Long an icon among jazz musicians and fans alike, this album samples tunes from the six albums Blossom Dearie made for Norman Granz' Verve label during the period 1956 to 1960. Dearie doesn't have a particularly big voice, but, like a will-o-wisp, she skirts through her material in a whispery, smoky tone that demands and receives attention from ... see all copies from $5.28! new only from $10.99!
2	My Gentleman Friend (1959) more music like this by Blossom Dearie The most expressive of jazz vocalists, Blossom Dearie's first three records for Verve -- all masterpieces -- displayed an artist with an uncommon ability to transfer a well-worn standard into a new song, usually informed by her light touch with piano and voice as well as her delightful coquette persona. My Gentleman Friend, her final full-length ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
3	Naughty Baby (1989) more music like this by Maureen McGovern McGovern as sophisticated pop singer, effectively handling an album of Gershwin material.

4	My One and Only [Original Broadway Cast] (1983) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording "The New Gershwin Musical" was the subtitle given this musical, but most people knew it as the new Tommy Tune musical, since he starred in it (with Twiggy) and staged and choreographed it (with Thommie Walsh). On record, Tune's personality comes across even if his long legs aren't visible, and the mostly understated arrangements of Gershwin ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $9.20!
5	Lady, Be Good! (1992) more music like this by George Gershwin A reconstruction of the 1924 George and Ira Gershwin musical featuring period recordings by Fred and Adele Astaire, George Gershwin himself, and others.

6	Sings the George Gershwin Almanac of Song (1956) more music like this by Chris Connor Most of this highly recommended two-CD set is taken from a series of 1957 sessions in which singer Chris Connor exclusively interprets songs of George Gershwin. To fill out the CDs, additional Gershwin cuts from other, otherwise unrelated dates by the vocalist have been added. Connor's cool delivery gives many of the largely familiar songs new ... see all copies from $17.98! new only from $47.19!

11	Little Jazz Bird (1982) more music like this by Meredith d'Ambrosio Fine '82 combo session in which D'Ambrosio shows her ability to handle a variety of songs supplied by composers as diverse as harpist Deborah Henson-Conant and vocalist David Frishberg.

13 view cover	The Complete Norman Granz Master Takes (2005) more music like this by Charlie Parker Charlie Parker's studio recordings have been issued, reissued (and de-issued, so to speak) in so many confusing combinations that anyone seeking a better understanding of his original discography might need a lodestone to hang onto. In addition to his excellent Savoy and Dial recordings, jazz lovers ought to have access to Definitive's wonderful ... see all copies from $83.32! new only from $83.32!
14 view cover	Speaking of Love (2002) more music like this by Marlene & Billy Ver Planck Every March, Marlene Ver Planck travels to London, where she works with the Roy Babbington. This time around, one of the additional benefits of the London sojourn is a CD which not only includes the Babbington combo, but a big band conducted by Billy Ver Planck. Ver Planck is one of the most accomplished cabaret singers now or ever. The songs she ... see all copies from $4.47! new only from $4.47!
15 view cover	Jazz in Britain 1919-1950 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists This four-disc collection from Proper is a solid overview of the music made in Great Britain in the first 30 years of jazz history.

19 view cover	Now You Has Jazz: Louis Armstrong at MGM (1942) more music like this by Louis Armstrong More than any other jazz musician before or since, Louis Armstrong had a propensity for entertaining that stood him in good stead when it came time for the cameras to roll. It helped that he had a one-of-a-kind singing and speaking voice and could handle dialogue like a champ and mug shamelessly, but Louis' presence on film was every bit a musical ... see all copies from $9.69! new only from $9.69!
