1	Pure Ella (1950) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald In 1950, six years before her acclaimed Song Book series for Verve, Ella Fitzgerald recorded eight George and Ira Gershwin classics in intimate duets with the sensitive and lightly swinging pianist Ellis Larkins. Four years later she recorded a dozen more songs (this time by a variety of composers) with Larkins, and all 20 performances are ... see all copies from $4.81! new only from $6.41!
2	A Flower Is a Lovesome Thing (1957) more music like this by Vince Guaraldi Trio This is one of pianist Vince Guaraldi's better sets. Showcased in a San Francisco-based trio with guitarist Eddie Duran and bassist Dean Reilly, Guaraldi plays seven standards plus his own "Like a Mighty Rose" tastefully and with light swing, making this a program that is equally successful as both cool jazz and background music. Scott Yanow, ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
3	The Cool School/Do Re Mi (2006) more music like this by June Christy The Cool School remains the most complex and contradictory album in the June Christy catalog: a collection of children's music crafted without sentimentality or saccharine, it brilliantly articulates the confusion, isolation, and yearning that form the core of childhood experience. Equally surprising, the arrangements are the most direct and ... see all copies from $13.65! new only from $13.65!
4	Plays George Gershwin (1991) more music like this by George Gershwin see all copies from $14.55! new only from $30.83!
5	Gershwin Plays Gershwin [Naxos] (2001) more music like this by George Gershwin see all copies from $12.27!
6	The Great Sound of Les Elgart/It's De-Lovely (2000) more music like this by Les Elgart The combination of these Les Elgart albums, The Great Sound of Les Elgart and It's De-Lovely, provide pleasant interpretations of pop standards. The familiar melodies of "These Foolish Things," "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World," and "It's De-Lovely" hold up exceptionally well. These LPs were originally released on Columbia Records in 1959 and ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
7	Love Letters [Compilation] (1999) more music like this by Ketty Lester Love Letters is a missed opportunity as far as Ketty Lester collections go. It combines 12 songs from a 1964 RCA album with the original versions of her two biggest hits, "Love Letters" and "But Not for Me," which were recorded for Era Records. Lester had a hit album on Era, also titled Love Letters, and notched two other minor hits for the label, ... see all copies from $7.30! new only from $12.01!
8	Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book [3-CD] (1959) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Songbook is an extraordinary three-disc set that collects various versions of Gershwin songs Ella Fitzgerald recorded for Verve. These have been available in individual editions before, and they are valuable in any form, but this is an excellent compilation blessed with lavish packaging and terrific sound. ... see all copies from $39.00!
9	Broadway's Fair Julie (1961) more music like this by Julie Andrews In 1962, Julie Andrews was both a hot recording property and between projects. Having completed her commitment to Camelot, she was angling for film roles. But her major project for the year turned out to be her daughter, Emma Kate Walton, born November 27. At the same time, as the female star of two successive chart-topping Broadway cast albums, ... see all copies from $12.99!
10	I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues: The Eileen Farrell Album (1960) more music like this by Eileen Farrell see all copies from $9.90!
11	That Bad Eartha/Down to Eartha (2002) more music like this by Eartha Kitt Collectables Records combines Eartha Kitt's second and third LPs on this discount-priced CD reissue, giving a good sense of her early style, which, come to think of it, is the style she continued to maintain throughout her career. Born in South Carolina and raised in Harlem, Kitt acquired her sexy, self-mocking, continental sophistication via her ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
12 view cover	Conchetta (1958) more music like this by Connie Stevens Conchetta (1958) is the first of three albums that actress/vocalist Connie Stevens would cut for the burgeoning Warner Bros. record label. Although only 20 years old at the time, her mature and seemingly effortless vocal style is well matched to the dozen light jazz and pop standards on this disc. Although still a year away from her role as ... see all copies from $12.75! new only from $12.75!
13 view cover	S' Wonderful: The Music of George Gershwin (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Released in 1992, Pearl Flapper's S' Wonderful: The Music of George Gershwin is similar to this label's Rodgers & Hart collection; the two albums were issued concurrently. What's different about the Gershwin package is the predominance of one artist -- Fred Astaire -- who is heard in seven different performances, and the inclusion of one ... see all copies from $7.71! new only from $17.19!
14 view cover	Come What May (2001) more music like this by Paula West On her third CD, singer Paula West demonstrates that she isn't adverse to risk taking, which is a rather refreshing idea for a young performer. With a soulful voice, a great range, and the ability to get the most out of each set of lyrics, this confident singer seems capable of taking on any song in which she takes an interest. Although the ... see all copies from $6.22! new only from $6.22!
15 view cover	The Music Master (2004) more music like this by Benny Carter see all copies from $18.64! new only from $18.64!
16 view cover	It's Wonderful (1937) more music like this by Maxine Sullivan see all copies from $23.04! new only from $23.04!
17 view cover	Sarah Vaughan Sings George Gershwin (1957) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan see all copies from $30.24! new only from $30.24!
18 view cover	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 $39.95! new only from $44.69!
19 view cover	Priceless Jazz: More Ella Fitzgerald (1998) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald There could be a hundred volumes of Ella's songs, and they would all be priceless. For this 17-track compilation, Ella sings in a more sentimental, subdued mode overall. There's the curve ball "Air Mail Special" in the middle, and "Undecided" at the end. For the most part she's swinging seriously, with thoughtful aplomb and a more quiet intensity. ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $13.64!
20 view cover	Settin' the Pace [Proper] (2001) more music like this by Dexter Gordon One of the most important yet overlooked figures in jazz is given his due with this amazing four-disc set on Proper. Going for the label's usual bargain-basement rate (roughly 20 dollars a pop), Settin' the Pace rounds up 55 of the tenor innovator's bop sides from the latter half of the '40s. Replete with a handsome and bulky booklet full of ... see all copies from $31.75! new only from $31.75!
21 view cover	Ruban Bleu Years: Complete Recordings 1944-1949 (1998) more music like this by Maxine Sullivan All of Maxine Sullivan's recordings from 1944-1949 are on this single CD; she would only record two songs during the 1950-1954 period before making some full-length records in 1955. This reissue is more complete than the previous Tono recording that covered the same period, for it adds nine additional cuts. The previous 18 numbers find Sullivan in ... see all copies from $15.83! new only from $17.86!
22 view cover	Anthology 1948-1955 (2007) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald see all copies from $11.87! new only from $11.87!
23 view cover	The Best of June Christy: Jazz Sessions (1949) more music like this by June Christy Along with "Something Cool," Christy's biggest hit, this collection of her Capitol work from the 1950s includes "Baby All the Time," her duet with bandleader Stan Kenton, as well as "How High the Moon," a reunion date with the Kenton Orchestra. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.72! new only from $14.56!
