2	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 $49.20!
3	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!

Much popular music of the period was heard on the soundtrack, as was some music specifically composed and recorded for use in the film. This four-CD set, with the full title The ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $27.34!

9	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!
10	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 $3.79! new only from $9.69!
11 view cover	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 $10.73!

14 view cover	Sentimental Journey: Hits from the Second World War (2007) more music like this by Various Artists This 20-track companion disc to the Ken Burns' PBS documentary The War provides a brief glimpse into the swing and pop music synonymous with World War II. Attempting to choose 20 songs for a single disc that are beloved by those who lived through that era, while also trying to sustain the curiosity of those who didn't, is a lofty goal. As it turns ... see all copies from $4.91! new only from $10.38!
15 view cover	The V-Discs: Columbia Years: 1943-45 (1943) more music like this by Frank Sinatra When Frank Sinatra left Tommy Dorsey's band and signed his first solo contract with Columbia Records in 1943, it should have been one of the biggest musical events of the year -- Sinatra had been wowing audiences since 1940 as a singer in Dorsey's band, and had developed a huge following, especially among younger women; in the space of just two ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $19.99!
16 view cover	Delicado (2004) more music like this by Percy Faith & His Orchestra ASV/Living Era's Delicado collects two discs' worth of Percy Faith's sweeping orchestral pop from 1944 to 1953, including his first commercial recordings, "Amor" and "Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year." Disc one follows Faith's career at his first label, Decca, and his subsequent stints at Majestic and Royale; tracks such as the ... see all copies from $22.07! new only from $22.10!
17 view cover	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.

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 $11.26! new only from $11.26!
19 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 $8.00! new only from $9.44!
20 view cover	Glenn Miller and the Army Air Force Band: Rare Broadcast Performances From 1943-1944 (1990) more music like this by Glenn Miller see all copies from $1.99!

Recorded live at the Village Vanguard in New York City, this volume is his most satisfying triad outing yet. The trio opens disc one with a swinging up-tempo rendition of "The More I See You" and, for over ten minutes, ... see all copies from $18.77! new only from $18.77!
22 view cover	Yes Indeed [Box Set] (2002) more music like this by Jo Stafford see all copies from $18.77! new only from $18.77!
23 view cover	Columbia Album of Jerome Kern (1991) more music like this by Paul Weston & His Orchestra Yeah, this is the stuff your parents probably listened to on the record player when you weren't playing Elvis or Chuck Berry, but it's still great music, and Weston was one of the top interpreters of pop standards of the 1950s. His recordings of Jerome Kern's hits (two LPs on a 70-minute-plus CD) are among the best work he ever did. The sound is ... see all copies from $6.00!
24 view cover	The Lost Recordings [#1] (1944) more music like this by Glenn Miller The Lost Recordings is two-CD set which has Glenn Miller's legendary final recordings, six propaganda broadcasts recorded in England with his Army Air Force Band and aired in Nazi Germany and throughout Europe.

25 view cover	Try a Little Tenderness/I'm Glad There Is You (1998) more music like this by Gloria Lynne Both Try a Little Tenderness and I'm Glad There Is You are fine examples of Gloria Lynne's exceptional vocal talents, showcasing her way with a ballad.
