1	Walkin' (1954) more music like this by Miles Davis The undeniable strength and conviction present in Miles Davis' performance on Walkin', underscores the urgency and passion with which he would rightfully reclaim his status as a primary architect of bop. Davis is supported by his all-stars, consisting of his primary rhythm unit: Horace Silver (piano), Percy Heath (bass), and Kenny Clarke (drums). ... see all copies from $6.78! new only from $6.78!
2	Black Coffee (1956) more music like this by Peggy Lee Peggy Lee left Capitol in 1952 for, among several other reasons, the label's refusal to let her record and release an exotic, tumultuous version of "Lover." Lee was certainly no Mitch Miller songbird, content to loosen her gorgeous pipes on any piece of tripe foisted upon her; she was a superb songwriter with a knowledge of production and ... see all copies from $15.97! new only from $15.97!
3	The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this by Sammy Davis, Jr. Sammy Davis, Jr. was an outsized talent. Whether dancing or singing or acting (or drumming, or doing impersonations), he spent more energy, carried more emotion, and involved himself more deeply in his performances than any other artist of his caliber. His earliest hit material -- "Something's Gotta Give," "Love Me or Leave Me," "That Old Black ... see all copies from $12.44! new only from $12.44!
4	Progressions: 100 Years of Jazz Guitar (2005) more music like this by Various Artists This expansive four-disc anthology essentially covers the recorded history of the guitar in the 20th century, beginning with the ragtime banjo that set the table for the role of the guitar in a jazz setting in the early 1900s, and then touching all the bases clear through to the post-postmodern possibilities of the instrument in the 21st century. ... see all copies from $27.33! new only from $27.33!
5	Feeling Good: The Very Best of Nina Simone (1994) more music like this by Nina Simone A fiery interpreter of the usually staid American songbook, Nina Simone took a song and made it her own -- whether it was Gershwin's "I Loves You, Porgy" or Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit." This 1994 collection on Universal features selections from her Philips years of the mid-'60s, generally acknowledged as the pinnacle of her recording career, ... see all copies from $9.01! new only from $9.01!
6	Nina: The Essential Nina Simone (2000) more music like this by Nina Simone While there's some good music on this 73-minute CD, it's a patchy quilt of songs from the 1950s to the 1980s, reaching as far back as late-'50s sessions from early in her career, and stretching through several subsequent decades, including two songs from a 1985 album and seven songs from her In Concert album thrown in along the way. That's not, ... see all copies from $13.27! new only from $13.27!
7	Like Love (1960) more music like this by André Previn Like Love is a pleasant session that features pianist André Previn and a string section breezing through several standards that include "love" in the title. Previn keeps the proceedings from getting too sugary by utilizing his jazz chops, which especially benefit Hollander/Lerner's "Falling in Love Again," George and Ira Gershwin's "Love Is Here ... see all copies from $3.71! new only from $9.82!
8	Greatest Hits (1958) more music like this by Doris Day Considering Doris Day spent most of her best years with Columbia (late '40s to the mid-'60s), this hits-roundup from the label makes for a perfect introductory disc. Although a might slim, the 12-track set includes most of the key songs ("Secret Love," "Que Sera, Sera," "Teacher's Pet") and spotlights Day at her vivacious best. Featuring fine ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $8.23!
9	Love Me or Leave Me (1955) more music like this by Doris Day w/ James Cagney Love Me or Leave Me was one of Doris Day's greatest, and least likely, successes. Coming out of a string of light movie musicals, she turned in a dramatic performance in this film biography of singer Ruth Etting. She looked nothing like Etting and made no attempt to sound like her, either. But since Etting's recordings of the 1920s and '30s were ... see all copies from $3.90! new only from $5.27!
10	Inside Out (2001) more music like this by Trisha Yearwood Trisha Yearwood's full of a whole lotta love. Five of the album's 12 tracks have "love" in the title, and the seven others that don't are about love and relationships. But whatever Yearwood's singing about, she still manages to dazzle listeners even ten years and ten albums into her career. She's an artist who blossoms with every album and just ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
11 view cover	If You Got to Ask, You Ain't Got It! (2006) more music like this by Fats Waller During his 21-year recording career, Thomas "Fats" Waller waxed so many hundreds of songs that only a dedicated few have heard them all even once, let alone often enough to understand the true nature of his legacy. While longtime collectors can attest to the awesome breadth and depth of Waller's massive discography, your average citizen needs and ... see all copies from $16.80! new only from $30.30!
12 view cover	As Time Goes By (1999) more music like this by Bryan Ferry Bryan Ferry invests considerable time and energy in cover albums (he should, considering that they compose a good portion of his solo catalog), treating them with as much care as a record of original material. He's always found ways to radically reinvent the songs he sings, so it's easy to expect that his collection of pop standards, As Time Goes ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $10.79!
13 view cover	Calling the World (2007) more music like this by Rooney Four years passed between Rooney's self-titled debut and its follow-up, Calling the World -- virtually a lifetime when it comes to many listeners' attention spans. The band spent that time recording and scrapping two albums' worth of material and dealing with label problems; while waiting so long to release new music was a risky move, it probably ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
14 view cover	A Vintage Year (1987) more music like this by Mel Tormé and George Shearing Singer Mel Tormé and pianist George Shearing make a perfect team, bringing out the best in each other. With the assistance of bassist John Leitham and drummer Donny Osborne, the swinging, witty duo performs a variety of standards, including Noël Coward's "Someday I'll Find You," "The Way You Look Tonight," and "Anyone Can Whistle," and a couple of ... see all copies from $4.97! new only from $9.92!
15 view cover	16 Most Requested Songs (1992) more music like this by Doris Day 16 Most Requested Songs contains some, but not all, of Doris Day's biggest hits. Consequently, it's more of a sampler for casual fans than a definitive retrospective, but it still highlights some of her very best performances, including "A Bushel and a Peck," "You Won't Be Satisfied," "Till the End of Time," "In Love in Vain," and "Black Hills of ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $3.50!
16 view cover	Devil Thumbs a Ride (1996) more music like this by The Hunger Before Rammstein and Static-X ever achieved mainstream success in the United States, the Hunger made a living by combining heavy metal riffs with club dance beats. Their first major label release, Devil Thumbs a Ride, has a signature sound several years ahead of its time. Although more metal than dance, the album has elements of both genres that ... see all copies from $1.99!
17 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Nina Simone (2007) more music like this by Nina Simone The Nina Simone entry in Universal Music's discount-priced best-of series 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection draws nine tracks from Simone's popular Philips Records albums of the mid-'60s, plus two tracks from her live album Let It Be Me, released by Verve Records in 1987. Several of Simone's most frequent concert selections and ... see all copies from $7.93! new only from $7.93!
18 view cover	Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (1989) more music like this by Nina Simone Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is a compilation assembling songs from a fruitful period in Simone's career (the mid-'60s, when she recorded for Mercury and Phillips). The exceptional track selection helps Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood stand out from the many repackages of material from this era and amply demonstrates the range of Simone's artistry. ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $14.62!
19 view cover	Taking a Chance on Love (2004) more music like this by Jane Monheit see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
20 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 17 (1964) more music like this by Nina Simone Nina Simone's inclusion in Verve's Jazz Masters series is a bit suspect; there was a lot of jazz in Simone, true, but wasn't there quite a bit of pop and soul as well, not to mention some blues? Anyway, this is an excellent survey of her mid-'60s work, with 16 tracks spanning 1964 to 1966 that find Simone at her most versatile and assured. Quite a ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $9.91!
21 view cover	Ella Swings Brightly with Nelson (1959) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Nelson Riddle, whose arrangements were an asset on some of Ella Fitzgerald's Song Book projects, also made two albums with her during 1961: this one plus Ella Swings Gently with Nelson. The singer has rarely sounded better than during this period. For the Swings Brightly set (which gets a slight edge over the other one), Fitzgerald sticks mostly ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $13.64!
22 view cover	Nina Simone's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Nina Simone Verve's Finest Hour collection of Nina Simone's work compiles 60 minutes of career highlights, including "Wild Is the Wind," "I Put a Spell on You," "Four Women," "I Loves You, Porgy," and "My Baby Just Cares for Me." Though it's by no means a definitive compilation of Simone's music, it does provide a welcome overview of her Verve years. ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
23 view cover	The Very Best of Brand Nubian (2001) more music like this by Brand Nubian Politically controversial in their time, Brand Nubian doesn't sound like the dangerous, Afrocentric militants they were originally made out to be in some quarters. Maybe it's because their jazzy, post-Native Tongues music is so ingratiating; maybe it's because Grand Puba has such a playful, easygoing presence on the mic; maybe it's just that, in ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $9.61!
24 view cover	Pres and Teddy (1956) more music like this by Lester Young - Teddy Wilson Quartet Although it has been written much too often that Lester Young declined rapidly from the mid-'40s on, the truth is that when he was healthy, Young played at his very best during the '50s, adding an emotional intensity to his sound that had not been present during the more carefree days of the '30s. This classic session, a reunion with pianist Teddy ... see all copies from $7.81! new only from $7.81!
25 view cover	Greatest Hits [Bridge] (1996) more music like this by Benny Goodman Highly misleading title, but some valuable material. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.79! new only from $11.06!
