2	L.A. Confidential [Soundtrack] (1997) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Noir detective fiction doesn't get much noirer than the novels of James Ellroy, who takes all the conventions of the genre -- a troubled, brooding protagonist who drinks too much but tries to do what's right while being pursued by rich, beautiful, but deeply flawed women and working at the margins of a society that wears a happy face to hide its ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $8.00!

5	Ultra-Lounge: Cocktails With Cole Porter (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The Ultra Lounge series returns with Cocktails With Cole Porter, a collection of '50s and '60s renditions of songs Porter wrote in the '20s and '30s. For the most part, these songs made the transition into lounge territory intact; Nat King Cole's "Just One of Those Things," Ella Fitzgerald's "It's De-Lovely," Julie London's "My Heart Belongs to ... see all copies from $11.31! new only from $11.31!
6	Menuhin & Grappelli Play Berlin, Kern, Porter & Rodgers & Hart (1988) more music like this by Yehudi Menuhin & Stephane Grappelli see all copies from $9.58! new only from $9.58!
7	Jazz in Paris: Oscar Peterson-Stephanie Grapelli Quartet, Vol. 1 (2001) more music like this by Oscar Peterson & Stephanie Grapelli Quartet One of the nice things about jazz is the cross-pollination of different players in multiple settings. No one would've thought of pairing swing violinist Stéphane Grappelli and bop pianist Oscar Peterson, for instance, but the match works very well. The pair have expanded into a quartet on this reissue with the aid of double bassist Niels-Henning ... see all copies from $9.39! new only from $9.39!
8	Capitol Sings Cole Porter: Anything Goes (1991) more music like this by Various Artists As far as all-star Cole Porter compilations go, Capitol Sings Cole Porter: Anything Goes is recommended as an entertaining sampler of 25 titles performed by some of the label's biggest stars.

Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $49.99!
11 view cover	Lucky Lucy Ann (1957) more music like this by Lucy Ann Polk Lucy Ann Polk's lone Mode/VSOP session pairs the singer with a sextet led by pianist and arranger Marty Paich, whose nuanced, spacious orchestrations perfectly complement Polk's sultry yet supremely controlled style. The strength of Lucky Lucy Ann is its subtlety -- not a note is wasted or extraneous, and for all the modernist elements converging ... see all copies from $8.85! new only from $8.85!
12 view cover	Music for the Still of the Night (2001) more music like this by Ruby Braff Don't be misled by the title of Ruby Braff's CD; this is not a collection of slow ballads. It consists of some of the most swinging interpretations of timeless standards as only the veteran cornetist can play them. Accompanied by some of his favorite musicians (all of whom are outstanding), including guitarist Howard Alden, pianist John Bunch, ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
13 view cover	Bobby Short on the East Side/Moments Like This (2004) more music like this by Bobby Short This two-fer on Collectables bring together a pair of cabaret ace Bobby Short's Atlantic albums. On the East Side recorded live in 1959 is a dramatic, lively, hard-swingin' set of Short in his prime, recorded with a trio. This is American saloon singing at its finest, full of exaggerated drama, finger-popping and amiable, good natured cheer. Short ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $7.30!
14 view cover	East Coast Sounds (1999) more music like this by Zoot Sims/Tony Scott/Al Cohn Zoot Sims and Al Cohn made many records together in small-group settings, but this isn't one of their better-known dates, though it is a rewarding one. These 1956 sessions recorded for the Jazzland label and reissued under Fantasy's limited-edition OJC imprint feature tenor saxophonist Sims (who doubles on alto sax) and Cohn (playing baritone sax ... see all copies from $10.06! new only from $10.06!
15 view cover	Wake Up and Dream (2002) more music like this by Various Artists In 1992, the Indiana Historical Society marked native son Cole Porter's centenary a year late by issuing the box set You're the Top: Cole Porter in the 1930s. The organization followed in 1999 with another box that surveyed the rest of Porter's career, You're Sensational: Cole Porter in the '20s, '40s & '50s. In 2002, the three discs from that ... see all copies from $11.29! new only from $15.50!
16 view cover	Old Fashioned Love (2000) more music like this by Barbara Sutton Curtis The younger sister of the great stride pianist Ralph Sutton, Barbara Sutton Curtis is a fine pianist herself. Her style is gentler than her brother's and a bit more melodic, as shown on this set of unaccompanied solos recorded live in 1987 and 1993. The relaxed set features Curtis playing five two-song medleys and 11 other songs, mostly of swing ... see all copies from $15.15! new only from $15.15!
17 view cover	First Ladies of Song [ASV/Living Era] (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The Living Era label has many single-artist collections that deal separately with the finest females in the jazz vocal realm, but nothing to match this, a six-hour bonanza of material. Featuring five songs each by 25 artists, First Ladies of Song makes good on its promise to deliver songs by the "greatest American songstresses." (For the record, ... see all copies from $36.09!
18 view cover	Looking at You (1993) more music like this by Rebecca Kilgore Although Rebecca Kilgore can clearly sing jazz, she plays it fairly straight on this duet set with pianist Dave Frishberg (who refrains from singing himself). She uplifts a variety of standards including many lesser-known items, everything from "Brazil" and "Martha" to "Lullaby in Rhythm," "Robin Hood," "Detour Ahead" and the 1920s piece "There ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
19 view cover	At Town Hall/Mercer & Short: Second Town Hall Concert (2001) more music like this by Mabel Mercer & Bobby Short In May 1968, Mabel Mercer and Bobby Short, both known for their club performances, shared the bill at a concert at New York's Town Hall. The sixtysomething Mercer was, of course, a major influence on the fortysomething Short, but their styles were different enough to make for a lively combination. The show as a big success, leading to a double ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
20 view cover	Mabel Mercer [Harbinger] (2002) more music like this by Mabel Mercer see all copies from $10.14! new only from $10.14!

23 view cover	The Latin Porter (2000) more music like this by Mark Murphy These days, Cole Porter tributes are a dime a dozen in the jazz world. Many of today's jazz tributes to the famous composer show little or no imagination -- all too often, knee-jerk retro-boppers insist on performing the same old Porter standards the same old way. But that is hardly the case with Mark Murphy's The Latin Porter; while other Porter ... see all copies from $29.98!
24 view cover	Some Other Time: Sings Mabel Marcer (1998) more music like this by Andrea Marcovicci see all copies from $20.88!
