3	The Best of Chet Baker Sings (1953) more music like this by Chet Baker To much of the pop (as opposed to the jazz) audience, Chet Baker was known not as an able cool jazz trumpeter, but as a romantic balladeer. The two classifications were not mutually exclusive; Baker's vocal numbers would also feature his trumpet playing, as well as fine instrumental support from West Coast cool jazzers. For those who prefer the ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $9.62!
4	The Great American Songbook [Box Set] (2005) more music like this by Rod Stewart A month after Rod Stewart's fourth volume of his ongoing (some might say never-ending) Great American Songbook series was released, all four of the albums were rounded up in a cardboard box and released as The Great American Songbook. Apart from a biographical essay from Alan Light and a couple of photographs, there is no new material here -- even ... see all copies from $27.05! new only from $51.07!
5	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!

7	Intensity (1960) more music like this by Art Pepper This album, reissued on CD with an additional song, "Fine Points," was altoist Art Pepper's final one of his early period and was released when he was already serving a long prison sentence due to his addiction to heroin. Assisted by pianist Dolo Coker, bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Frank Butler, Pepper was just starting to show the influence of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Hail the Conquering Nero/New Piano in Town (2000) more music like this by Peter Nero In 2000, Collectables reissued the lush sounds of pianist Peter Nero's Hail the Conquering Nero/New Piano in Town. Both originally released on the RCA imprint in 1963 and 1961, respectively, Nero covers a wide range of familiar standards, gentle ballads, and sophisticated interpretations of Broadway hits. Rob Theakston, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
9	And I Thought About You (1958) more music like this by Johnny Hartman Johnny Hartman gained posthumous fame as one of the warmest ballad singers of this century, and his deep baritone voice is well showcased on this 1958 date, which emphasizes slower tempos with a couple of exceptions ("Sunday" and "After You've Gone"). Accompanied by a subtle orchestra arranged by Rudy Traylor (the personnel is unknown), Hartman is ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $11.25!
10	Romance on Film/Romance on Broadway (2000) more music like this by Michael Feinstein Romantic inspiration can be found in many places, but song stylist Michael Feinstein finds his in motion picture film scores and Broadway musicals on his third Concord Jazz release. Romance on Film/Romance on Broadway is a two-CD set filled with great romantic ballads such as "The More I See You," "The Second Time Around," "All the Way," and the ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $10.32!

15 view cover	The War: A Ken Burns Film [Deluxe Edition] (2007) more music like this by Original TV Soundtrack The War, directed by Ken Burns, was a seven-part documentary series broadcast on PBS television in 2007, focusing on the experiences of American soldiers in World War II.

18 view cover	Sure Thing, the Jerome Kern Songbook (1994) more music like this by Sylvia McNair/André Previn This album by classical singer Sylvia McNair brings to mind the albums made by another "crossover" classical singer, Eileen Farrell, who issued several recordings starting in the 1960s and running into the 1990s. In her endeavor, McNair picked a composer whose music can and has accommodated many styles of singing. She is joined by another musician ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $15.11!

20 view cover	Sings the Jerome Kern Song Book (1960) more music like this by Margaret Whiting Given Margaret Whiting's limitations as a stylist, you certainly wouldn't expect an album of Jerome Kern-penned Broadway standards to rank among her jazziest, most lively LPs, but the great arranger Russ Garcia truly outdoes himself, masterminding a delightfully energetic session that's undeniably appealing. While Garcia and sidemen including ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
21 view cover	70: A Seventieth Birthday Celebration (1998) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney This is an OK sampler celebrating both singer Rosemary Clooney's 70th birthday and her 20th year associated with the Concord label. Only two of the 19 songs are new, and these are among the weakest numbers on the set: a nostalgic "Secret of Life" and a version of "Our Love Is Here to Stay" that for no particular reason has guest vocals by Linda ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $16.81!
