1	Most Requested Songs (2001) more music like this by Susannah McCorkle There's something incredibly tragic and ironic in the strange reality that finds a beloved jazz singer taking her own life just after compiling a collection of her best loved interpretations. So loved by so many, but perhaps -- as she wrote in her liner notes for her wistful reading of "If I Only Had a Heart" -- she was one of those people who ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
2	Chet Baker in Milan (1959) more music like this by Chet Baker During his extended "stay" in Europe circa the late '50s and early '60s, Chet Baker produced half a dozen albums for the Riverside Records subsidiary label Jazzland. On Chet Baker in Milan -- the first of his overseas sides -- Baker revisits the familiar stomping grounds of West Coast cool, even though he is the only American in the band. The ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
3	Look for the Silver Lining (2006) more music like this by Marion Harris Although Marion Harris has already been served well by a compilation from the experts at Archeophone, many of her biggest hits were released well after the period covered by that collection, and Living Era's Look for the Silver Lining provides a much more accurate portrait of one of the most popular singers of the '20s. Except for the opening ... see all copies from $10.83! new only from $10.83!
4	Very Best of Judy Garland [Wea] (2005) more music like this by Judy Garland see all copies from $9.85! new only from $9.85!
5	Essential Gold (2004) more music like this by Vaughn Monroe see all copies from $8.79! new only from $8.79!
6	You're Nearer (2004) more music like this by Nancy Marano It's hardly hyperbole to call Nancy Marano a terrific jazz singer. Joined by a cast of Dutch musicians, the singer did most of the arranging herself. She restores the all too often omitted verse to "Nice Work if You Can Get It" and scats up a storm with bassist Marius Beets. Her loping, emotional chart of Antonio Carlos Jobim's bittersweet bossa ... see all copies from $9.39! new only from $11.03!
7	From Broken Hearts to Blue Skies (1999) more music like this by Susannah McCorkle Susannah McCorkle suceeds where others have failed on her latest release for Concord Jazz titled, From Broken Hearts to Blue Skies. Her silky voice wraps around the classic Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington "Something to Live For," like a velvet envelope. Filled with emotional yearning, her interpretations render the listener motionless, rapt in ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
8	Riverside Profiles (2006) more music like this by Chet Baker Riverside Profiles collects tracks recorded by trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker in the late '50s. This was a troubled period personally for the iconic jazz artist as he had become addicted to heroin. Nonetheless, these are some of the most beautiful, melodic and improvisationally muscular of Baker's cuts and easily stand next to his legendary Pacific ... see all copies from $2.96! new only from $2.96!
9	The Concord Jazz Heritage Series Sampler (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Now around long enough to have developed an extensive back catalog, Concord started to mine it with a Jazz Heritage series of reissues in 1998 -- of which this generously packed two-disc sampler provides an excerpt from each album. As such, the double set provides a good, even at times unpredictable overview of the label during the (label founder) ... see all copies from $3.36! new only from $7.95!
10	My Foolish Heart (2004) more music like this by Steve Conway Steve Conway (born Walter James Groom in the working-class East London neighborhood of Bethnal Green) was the new Al Bowlly to British audiences of the '40s, a smooth crooner who straddled that thin line between big-band jazz balladry and the more straight-laced world of "light orchestral" easy listening. However, Conway fell much more into the ... see all copies from $10.23! new only from $10.23!

17 view cover	From the Heart (1962) more music like this by Etta Jones The sound of this release brings to mind a cross between Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Patsy Cline. Not a bad combination, and one that sounds remarkably fresh and invigorating long after its 1962 recording date. Here, Etta Jones' swinging singing is augmented with Oliver Nelson's attractive and distinctive arrangements. Wally Richardson's ... see all copies from $10.06! new only from $10.06!
18 view cover	Just Friends (2006) more music like this by Rick Haydon/John Pizzarelli John Pizzarelli is a famous swing-based guitarist in the jazz world, but Rick Haydon is known to relatively few. A jazz educator and professor of jazz guitar at Southern Illinois University, Haydon has mostly played locally but is also a talented musician. He holds his own with Pizzarelli on this good-natured and consistently swinging quartet set. ... see all copies from $10.25! new only from $10.25!
19 view cover	Live in Paris '92 (1992) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal Ahmad Jamal's style has become more extroverted and virtuosic since his early days in the 1950s, and his performances with his trio are often more dramatic. However the pianist is still a master at using space and dynamics, interacting closely with his sidemen, and creating music that builds slowly in intensity. His Paris concert from 1992 is an ... see all copies from $10.38! new only from $10.38!

21 view cover	Swing on a Star (1994) more music like this by Rosemary Squires/BBC Big Band/Girl Choristers of Salisbury Cathedral see all copies from $23.98!
22 view cover	Star Spangled Rhythm [Smithsonian] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This four-CD set covers more than 80 years of American musical theater and Hollywood musicals, interspersed with a comedy bit or two. That's necessary for a collection like this, which starts with George M. Cohan and Bert Williams in the middle of the first decade of the 20th century and ends with the mid-1990s revival of Showboat. Anyone likely ... see all copies from $29.29!
23	Aretha After Hours (1976) more music like this by Aretha Franklin Another in the series of Columbia anthologies/reissues that spotlight neglected material Aretha Franklin recorded during her years with them. It's interesting that all these cuts are being issued now, because Franklin could probably score some crossover success with about half of these songs if they came out today. They're certainly as good as the ... see all copies from $8.79!

25 view cover	From the Heart (2000) more music like this by Sheila Jordan see all copies from $103.64! new only from $103.64!
