1	Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Cole Porter did not die of AIDS, but he is generally acknowledged to have been at least bisexual, which seems to be the justification for assembling an AIDS charity album in which contemporary artists perform songs he wrote in the 1920s, '30s, '40s, and '50s. Producer/creators Leigh Blake and John Carlin (along with Steve Lillywhite, credited as ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.79!
2	Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: Best of Dinah Washington (1999) more music like this by Dinah Washington Dinah Washington could sing any song and make it sound like everybody's life depended on it. An awe-inspiring jazz vocalist with roots in the R&B scene of the 1940s, she gradually evolved into a pop star during the '50s and would have matured marvelously were it not for an accidental prescription drug overdose that took her out at the age of 39 on ... see all copies from $12.41! new only from $12.41!
3	Sings the Cole Porter Song Book (1956) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald A striking two-CD set featuring arguably history's finest jazz singer singing some of the best-written American pop standards on one of jazz's most prolific labels. Ella Fitzgerald shines as the perfect interpreter of Cole Porter's bittersweet love songs on these 35 tracks from the Verve archives. Recorded and released on LP in 1956, Ella is ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $26.65!
4	De-Lovely (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to De-Lovely -- a film that imagines the unusual love story and marriage of classic American songwriter Cole Porter (who was gay) and Linda Lee Porter as the kind of all-singing, all-dancing production for which Porter himself might have written the songs -- is a whirl of contrasting, and occasionally clashing, performances that ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $10.75!
5	The Best of the Songbooks (1993) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Simply a grand and eloquent performance put together by Verve records highlighting the best years of Ella Fitzgerald -- that sassy, charming legendary singer in jazz. The Best of the Songbooks features a captivating lineup of some of jazz's greatest composers and arrangers. It is here that Fitzgerald records and sings songs of Cole Porter, Richard ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $9.91!
6	The Very Best of Julie London [2006] (2006) more music like this by Julie London The Very Best of Julie London offers an extensive overview of London's recording career with 50 selections she cut for Liberty Records between 1955 and 1969. The tracks are not newly remastered for the most part, but are taken from EMI's series of import two-fers and the domestic reissues Ron Furmanek and Bob Norberg produced in the early '90s. ... see all copies from $10.84! new only from $18.96!
7	The Complete Columbia Recordings: Miles Davis & John Coltrane [2004 Reissue] (1955) more music like this by Miles Davis/John Coltrane As the fourth (fifth, if you count the Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel) entry in Columbia's celebrated series of Miles Davis box sets, The Complete Columbia Recordings: Miles Davis & John Coltrane was perhaps the most anticipated set, and it's easy to see why. The push and pull between Miles and Coltrane resulted in dynamic recordings that set ... see all copies from $49.48! new only from $59.95!
8	Somethin' Else [RVG Edition] (1999) more music like this by Cannonball Adderley It isn't too difficult to understand why MFSL considered this album to be a worthy candidate for an Ultradisc reissue -- aside from Cannonball Adderley, you have a lineup that includes Miles Davis, Hank Jones, Sam Jones, and Art Blakey. This is a group that could take on a Barry Manilow number and turn it into a jazz masterpiece. MFSL have done ... see all copies from $9.32! new only from $9.32!
9	At the Manne-Hole, Vol. 1 (1961) more music like this by Shelly Manne On the first of two albums, Shelly Manne & His Men are heard in prime form performing live at their home base, Shelly's Manne-Hole. Trumpeter Conte Candoli was in particularly strong form throughout the stint, showing self-restraint yet playing with power. Tenor saxophonist Richie Kamuca made for a complementary partner, while pianist Russ Freeman ... see all copies from $9.38! new only from $9.38!
10	Dream Dancing (1972) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Originally released on Atlantic as Ella Loves Cole and then reissued on Pablo with two extra cuts from 1978, this set features the great Ella Fitzgerald (still in excellent form) backed by an orchestra arranged by Nelson Riddle performing an extensive set of Cole Porter songs. Fifteen years earlier Fitzgerald had had great success with her Cole ... see all copies from $3.89! new only from $3.89!
11 view cover	Go! (1962) more music like this by Dexter Gordon From the first moments when Dexter Gordon sails into the opening song full of brightness and confidence, it is obvious that Go! is going to be one of those albums where everything just seems to come together magically. A stellar quartet including the stylish pianist Sonny Clark, the agile drummer Billy Higgins, and the solid yet flexible bassist ... see all copies from $4.44! new only from $8.25!
12 view cover	Lucky to Be Me (2006) more music like this by Taylor Eigsti What can you say about a 21-year-old jazz pianist who begins with John Coltrane's "Giant Steps," turns the harmony inside out, twists the mode, and presents its mirror image and reflects the composer's lyricism and fire in fiery post-bop language, and still maintain the integrity of the tune? Only that it's Taylor Eigsti. Lucky to Be Me is Eigsti ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $8.08!
13 view cover	In the Moment: Live in Concert (2000) more music like this by Dianne Reeves Dianne Reeves struck the high point of the first day of the 1999 Playboy Jazz Festival at the Hollywood Bowl, finding a groove and running with it toward a swinging, stomping climax. Naturally then, anticipation ran high about this live recording, made only seven months later in the same city with the same Afro-Latin-accented backup band. What we ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.72!
14 view cover	In Tribute (1992) more music like this by Diane Schuur On this well-intentioned set, Diane Schuur sings 13 standards that she individually dedicated to 12 singers: Billie Holiday (who is saluted with two songs), Helen Morgan, Anita O'Day, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, Ella Fitzgerald, Libby Holman, Peggy Lee, Dinah Washington, Ivie Anderson, Nancy Wilson and Mabel Mercer. In most cases, the ... see all copies from $1.99!
15 view cover	Pastiche (1976) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer The dictionary definition of "pastiche" is an artistic composition imitating or caricaturing previous works, so given the lack of homegrown material here, it is hard to say what the Manhattan Transfer meant by this title. In any case, this assortment of odds and ends from various eras in American music -- recorded in New York, Los Angeles, ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $17.79!
16 view cover	Timeless Tales (For Changing Times) (1998) more music like this by Joshua Redman Picking up on Herbie Hancock's "New Standards" idea, borrowing some old standards, and splitting the total down the middle, Joshua Redman lends his warm fatback tone, arching skyward passages and a post-bop quartet concept to ten popular songs of the 20th century. Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, and the Gershwins share ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.47!
17 view cover	Night and Day, Vol. 2: Songbook (1991) more music like this by Cole Porter see all copies from $2.59! new only from $5.99!
18 view cover	Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook (1952) more music like this by Various Artists With their vast back catalog of classic vocal sides, the Verve label has been releasing a seemingly endless line of songbook collections featuring a who's who of jazz greats. Irving Berlin, Gershwin, Ellington, and Rodgers & Hart have all been feted. Now it's Cole Porter's turn. Over the course of the 17 chestnuts heard here, the likes of Fred ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $9.92!
19 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 16 (1994) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Vol. 16 of the Verve Jazz Masters series features pianist Oscar Peterson, who recorded prolifically for them from his start in the early '50s up to the early '70s. A single CD could never do Peterson justice, but this one, featuring 15 solid tracks, is evenly balanced between trio and guitar-accented small ensembles, with three big-band tracks ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $13.78!
20 view cover	Darin at the Copa (1960) more music like this by Bobby Darin see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.41!
21 view cover	The Best of Art Tatum (1987) more music like this by Art Tatum It is generally agreed that Art Tatum was the greatest jazz virtuoso of them all. Legally blind in one eye and seriously impaired in the other, Tatum learned to read music by Braille. His genius was recorded during the '30s, when swing was the dominant music of choice. He incorporated ragtime, blues, swing, boogie-woogie, and classical influences ... see all copies from $5.45! new only from $9.61!

23 view cover	A Foreign Sound (2004) more music like this by Caetano Veloso When an international artist records an English-language album, crossover is usually in the cards. For Caetano Veloso, however, it's an entirely different matter. The statesman of Brazilian pop, a musical giant who is on track to record more in his fifth decade of artistic striving than in any other (not to mention his accompanying exploits in ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $16.23!
24 view cover	20th Century Piano Genius (1950) more music like this by Art Tatum This double album was taped at a private party in 1956, featuring the amazing Art Tatum on solo piano. Tatum, who died the following year, never did decline, and he is in prime form throughout this highly enjoyable and frequently exciting set of standards. There are no real romps a la "Tiger Rag" but the 27 performances contain plenty of ... see all copies from $5.82! new only from $19.88!
25 view cover	Up at Minton's (1961) more music like this by Stanley Turrentine Up at Minton's is a particularly solid double CD featuring tenor-saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, guitarist Grant Green, pianist Horace Parlan, bassist George Tucker and drummer Al Harewood during a frequently exciting live set.
