1	Last Recordings: Rare and Unreleased (1954) more music like this by Artie Shaw The first of two double-CD sets contains a healthy share of the recordings the clarinetist made with his final Gramercy Five, a unit that included pianist Hank Jones, either Tal Farlow or Joe Puma on guitar and usually Joe Roland's vibes. Unlike his longtime competitor Benny Goodman, Shaw felt perfectly comfortable with younger modernists. In fact ... see all copies from $10.86!
2	We'll Meet Again: The Love Songs of World War II (1994) more music like this by Various Artists A two-disc set of American popular music from 1941 to 1945, We'll Meet Again compiles many of the era's biggest love songs, all informed by the war experience. Performers include Bing Crosby, the Mills Brothers, Benny Goodman and the Ink Spots. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $25.00! new only from $49.95!
3	Starring Fred Astaire [Columbia] (1989) more music like this by Fred Astaire This 36-track album traces Fred Astaire's recordings from June 1935 to September 1940, including his number one hits with "Cheek to Cheek," "I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket," "The Way You Look Tonight," "A Fine Romance," "They Can't Take That Away From Me," "Nice Work If You Can Get It," and "Change Partners." In addition to his movie ... see all copies from $15.00!
4	Where Do I Go From You? (2002) more music like this by Philip A. Chaffin Though this was released about 50 to 70 years later than the period of the songs honored by Philip A. Chaffin on his release Where Do I Go From You?, they have not lost one iota of their charm. These songs from the '30s, '40s, and one from the '50s have met the sternest test of all -- time. They form the bulk of the music played by jazz artists, ... see all copies from $10.85! new only from $12.05!
5	Lands End (2001) more music like this by Charlie Shoemake Trios Vibraphonist Charlie Shoemake is a talented musician who has unfortunately slipped under the radar of far too many jazz critics and broadcasters, let alone getting sufficient exposure to the average jazz fan. Because many of his recordings, such as this CD, have been for smaller labels, this can explain (but not excuse) this oversight. Shoemake is ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
6	Take a Number/Hooray for Love (2002) more music like this by Mavis Rivers In 2002, Capitol released Take a Number/Hooray for Love, which contained two albums -- Take a Number (originally released on Capitol) and Hooray for Love (1960, also originally released on Capitol) -- by vocalist Mavis Rivers on one compact disc. Tim Sendra, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.62! new only from $9.62!
7	Very Best of Sarah Vaughan [EMI Gold Imports] (2006) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan see all copies from $22.48! new only from $22.48!
8	The Digital Page: Page One (1989) more music like this by Page Cavanaugh Trio Pianist-vocalist Page Cavanaugh's first recording in a decade (and his first CD) is a real gem. Still very much in his prime, Cavanaugh reunited with Al Viola (who was his regular guitarist in the 1940s) and used the fine supportive bassist Allen Jackson to complete the trio. The interplay between Cavanaugh and Viola is consistently impressive, ... see all copies from $10.98! new only from $10.98!
9	1944-1945 (2001) more music like this by Artie Shaw & His Orchestra Hep Records presents a fabulous three-CD chronological core sample of Artie Shaw's recording activity between the autumn of 1944 and the summer of 1945. What made both the Artie Shaw Orchestra and his Gramercy Five so exciting, in addition to the leader's marvelous clarinet, was the continuous presence of trumpeter Roy Eldridge and pianist Dodo ... see all copies from $39.49! new only from $39.49!
10	Love of My Life (1994) more music like this by Fred Astaire see all copies from $14.81! new only from $14.81!
11	Girl Singers of the Big Swing Bands (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Instead of Girl Singers, a more apt title for this French collection would have been Girl Swingers , since it assembles some of the most rhythmic female vocalists of the big-band era. Sure, there's plenty of room for a sweet ballad such as Helen Forrest's vocal on "Deep Purple" or Doris Day's era-defining "Sentimental Journey," but the emphasis ... see all copies from $27.27! new only from $27.27!
