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	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!
7	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!
8	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!
9	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!
10	Taking a Chance on Love (2004) more music like this by Jane Monheit see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
11 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!
12 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!
13 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!
14 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!
15 view cover	Pastel Blues/Let It All Out (1964) more music like this by Nina Simone In 1990, Mercury combined two mid-'60s albums by Nina Simone (Pastel Blues and Let It All Out) on to a single compact disc. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.28! new only from $10.33!
16 view cover	Live at Mister Kelly's (2007) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Ella Fitzgerald didn't lack for live recording opportunities in the late '50s, which on the surface, would make this first issue of a 1958 Chicago live club date an easy one to pass on. Verve label head Norman Granz recorded her often in the '50s with an eye to releasing live albums, which he did with her shows at Newport in 1957 and Los Angeles' ... see all copies from $13.19! new only from $17.76!
17 view cover	The Ultimate Collection (2005) more music like this by Billie Holiday Although the title could only have been coined by a marketing department, The Ultimate Collection deserves the highest of praise. It is not only the first American compilation to survey Billie Holiday's entire 25-year career -- and astutely, at that -- but it also includes a DVD that presents the lion's share of her film and TV appearances, a full ... see all copies from $31.90! new only from $31.90!
18 view cover	The Very Best of Jane Monheit (2005) more music like this by Jane Monheit see all copies from $12.95! new only from $15.41!
19 view cover	Ultimate Diva Collection: The Diva Series (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Verve's Ultimate Diva Collection: The Diva Series rounds up tracks by 16 of the singers who have recorded for the label (or one of the labels the Verve Group now distributes) at some point in their career. The line-up reads like a who's who of vocal jazz: legends like Dinah Washington, Peggy Lee and Carmen McRae rub shoulders with less-acclaimed ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $9.33!
20 view cover	Chronicle: The Complete Prestige Recordings (1951-1956) (1992) more music like this by Miles Davis This eight-CD set does indeed have all 17 of trumpeter Miles Davis' Prestige sessions. The music is also available in separate CDs in the Original Jazz Classics series. Most significant are the many performances by Davis' classic quintet of 1955-1956 with tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer ... see all copies from $110.00! new only from $150.00!
21 view cover	The Centennial Collection (2004) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins The RCA Bluebird Centennial Collections are, for the money, neat packages. In addition to a single disc covering an artists' career for the label, there is also a bonus DVD with rare TV, documentary and video footage. In the case of Coleman Hawkins, the man credited with bringing the tenor saxophone into the jazz world as a solo instrument, the 20 ... see all copies from $11.95! new only from $18.40!
22 view cover	The Complete Billie Holiday on Verve 1945-1959 (1945) more music like this by Billie Holiday This is a rather incredible collection: ten CDs enclosed in a tight black box that includes every one of the recordings Verve owns of Billie Holiday, not only the many studio recordings of 1952-57 (which feature Lady Day joined by such jazz all-stars as trumpeters Charlie Shavers and Harry "Sweets" Edison, altoist Benny Carter, and the tenors of ... see all copies from $77.60! new only from $148.22!
23 view cover	Luckey Roberts & Ralph Sutton (1946) more music like this by Luckey Roberts & Ralph Sutton Luckey Roberts, considered one of the big three of 1920s stride piano (along with James P. Johnson and Fats Waller), was by far the most obscure of the trio, running a successful society band for decades but leading only three record sessions during his long career. This Solo Art CD brings back the six songs from his earliest (1946) date, and is ... see all copies from $10.92! new only from $13.64!
24 view cover	The Best of Danny Kaye [Spectrum] (2000) more music like this by Danny Kaye see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
25 view cover	Love Songs from the 50's (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.55! new only from $3.55!
