1	The Music of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection (1994) more music like this by Johnny Mathis The Music of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection is exactly that, a four-disc box set of recordings hand-picked by Johnny Mathis, with an accompanying booklet filled with biographical information and his recollections about each song. The 86 selections are arranged in chronological order from Mathis' first recording, "When Sunny Gets Blue" from ... see all copies from $8.57! new only from $12.94!
2	'S Awful Nice (1958) more music like this by Ray Conniff and His Orchestra The third entry in Ray Conniff's series of neo-swing easy listening albums, 'S Awful Nice followed 'S Wonderful! and 'S Marvelous into hit status, reaching the Top Ten and spending a year in the charts. As ever, Conniff's writing was danceable, with his wordless choir carrying the melodies, doubled by the horn and reed sections. The song selection ... see all copies from $3.32! new only from $30.00!
3	Columbia Album of Jerome Kern (1991) more music like this by Paul Weston & His Orchestra Yeah, this is the stuff your parents probably listened to on the record player when you weren't playing Elvis or Chuck Berry, but it's still great music, and Weston was one of the top interpreters of pop standards of the 1950s. His recordings of Jerome Kern's hits (two LPs on a 70-minute-plus CD) are among the best work he ever did. The sound is ... see all copies from $6.00!
4	The Astaire Story (1988) more music like this by Fred Astaire Because he was world renowned as a dancer and quite popular as a movie actor, Fred Astaire has tended to be underrated (if not completely overlooked) as a jazz singer. Although not really an improviser, Astaire's phrasing always swung and his occasional vocals on record were usually a joy. This two-CD set is something special for it features ... see all copies from $8.00!
5	The Song Is You: Capitol Sings Jerome Kern (1992) more music like this by Various Artists One of the most prolific of Tin Pan Alley scribes, Jerome Kern is given the royal treatment here with 25 vintage interpretations by some of the finest singers in jazz and pop. The likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan may be missing (two stars from songbook competitors Verve), but Capitol more than makes up for it with golden takes from Peggy ... see all copies from $24.95!
6	Sweetest Music This Side of Heaven (1995) more music like this by Guy Lombardo see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.57!
7	Magician/Gershwin and Kern (1964) more music like this by Erroll Garner Two of Errol Garner's last albums, Magician and Gershwin and Kern, are reissued on this single CD. The pianist, heading trios or quartets, is in typically whimsical and hard-swinging form; he never did decline on record. The former session includes several of his originals plus versions of "Close to You" and "Watch What Happens" that manage to ... see all copies from $9.75! new only from $9.75!
8	Marni Nixon Sings Classic Kern (1988) more music like this by Marni Nixon Marni Nixon, a 1980s Grammy nominee for her recordings of music by Arnold Schoenberg and Aaron Copland, is known in the popular realm for her interpretations of the songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lerner & Loewe, and Bernstein and Sondheim as she substituted for the non-singing stars of the film adaptations of The King and I, My Fair Lady, and ... see all copies from $10.37! new only from $10.37!
9	An Evening with Dorothy Fields (1998) more music like this by Dorothy Fields The lag of 26 years between this performance by lyricist Dorothy Fields at the Lyrics & Lyricists series at the 92 Street YMHA in New York and its release on record is practically criminal. Fields had a remarkable career, from her early hits like "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" in the late 1920s to the Broadway musical Seesaw in 1973 (a year ... see all copies from $5.83! new only from $5.83!
10	March of the Malcontents (2007) more music like this by Ned Goold Tenor saxophonist Ned Goold is much like a lot of Manhattan-based jazz musicians: he has obviously paid his dues and developed a distinctive approach to his instrument, even though he isn't a household name to jazz fans on a national level. But that is what the Smalls label is about, recording and promoting seasoned artist deserving of much wider ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
11	Evening with Fred Astaire (1994) more music like this by Fred Astaire see all copies from $2.95!
12 view cover	'S Awful Nice/'S Continental (1998) more music like this by Ray Conniff Actually, despite the similarities in title, this two-fer reissue combines an album from Ray Conniff's prime ('S Awful Nice) with one that came four years later at the end of his successful run ('S Continental) and was something of an attempt to recapture past times. The earlier album, like its popular predecessors, 'S Wonderful! and 'S Marvelous, ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
13 view cover	Red Velvet/Music for Romance (2002) more music like this by Stanley Black and His Orchestra Pianist Stanley Black's roots were in jazz and the British dance band scene of the 1930s. By the late '40s and early '50s he had settled into a comfortable existence as a composer of film scores and purveyor of lounge and mood music. Dutton Vocalion here presents two of Black's most understated Decca albums, Red Velvet and Music for Romance. ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $19.03!

All three discs are intelligently compiled and presented. Jazz purists may balk at various-artists collections, but compilations rarely ... see all copies from $43.88!
17 view cover	Hollywood Sings: The Girls (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This British compilation presents 20 tracks drawn mostly from movie soundtracks of the 1930s and 1940s. Even that is more information than you will get on the disc's bare-bones annotations. Included are such film stars as Irene Dunne, Marlene Dietrich, Deanna Durbin, Judy Garland, and Carmen Miranda, singing standards like "Body And Soul," ... see all copies from $4.59!

Wofford reharmonized many of the tunes, in effect creating new compositions and coming up with surprising versions. This project ... see all copies from $10.00!
