1	In the Wee Small Hours (1954) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Expanding on the concept of Songs for Young Lovers!, In the Wee Small Hours was a collection of ballads arranged by Nelson Riddle. The first 12" album recorded by Sinatra, Wee Small Hours was more focused and concentrated than his two earlier concept records. It's a blue, melancholy album, built around a spare rhythm section featuring a rhythm ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $8.85!
2	A Voice in Time: 1939-1952 (2007) more music like this by Frank Sinatra This four-CD set is a first in Frank Sinatra's Columbia Records discography: a box set that encompasses his Columbia solo sides with his work for Tommy Dorsey and Harry James, plus live broadcast sides up through 1952. It may also perplex some potential purchasers, especially those who already have the 12-CD Sony/Legacy Columbia Years set -- which ... see all copies from $28.02! new only from $34.99!
3	Nat King Cole [Capitol] (1992) more music like this by Nat King Cole For an overview of Nat "King" Cole's years as a remarkably popular singer, this four-CD box would be difficult to top. Containing 100 songs spanning a 20-year period, this box has virtually all of Cole's hits, some of his best jazz sides, and more than its share of variety, including a humorous previously unreleased version of "Mr. Cole Won't Rock ... see all copies from $37.77! new only from $39.94!
4	Best of the Verve Song Books: Love Songs (1956) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Are you one of those people who can't walk through the jazz section without mooning over the lavishly packaged and heart-droppingly expensive 16-disc Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books set? If so, you're not alone, and Verve knows it. So to keep you from bemoaning your fate, the company has been releasing single-disc compilations drawn from the ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
5	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!
6	Charlie Parker with Strings: The Master Takes (1995) more music like this by Charlie Parker with Strings When producer Norman Granz decided to let Charlie Parker record standards with a full string section (featuring Mitch Miller on oboe!), the purists cried sellout, but nothing could be further from the truth. There's a real sense of involvement from Bird on these sides, which collect up all the master takes and also include some live tracks from ... see all copies from $7.89! new only from $15.48!
7	As Long as I'm Singing: The Bobby Darin Collection (1995) more music like this by Bobby Darin Bobby Darin was a diverse performer, singing everything from pop and rock to Broadway and swing tunes, as well as a selection of folk and country for good measure. Darin never was lacking in ambition, trying more styles than most other pop singers. That doesn't mean he was consistent, as the four-disc box set As Long as I'm Singing: The Bobby ... see all copies from $52.90! new only from $52.90!
8	Drum Crazy (2001) more music like this by Gene Krupa Although born in Chicago in 1909, Gene Krupa was descended from Russians and Poles -- the word "krupa" in Russian means "groats." After narrowly avoiding a career in the Catholic priesthood, young Krupa developed instead into a rowdy jazz drummer and by 1927 was making records with Ben Pollack, the Bucktown Five, and a band called the Chicagoans ... see all copies from $14.92! new only from $14.92!
9	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!
10	Come Swing with Me! (1961) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Arranged by Billy May, Come Swing with Me! was Frank Sinatra's final swing session for Capitol Records. The album falls somewhere between the carefree Come Fly with Me and the hard-swinging Come Dance with Me!, borrowing elements of the humor of Fly and the intense, driving rhythms of Dance. Recorded without strings or saxes, the brass-heavy sound ... see all copies from $7.47! new only from $7.47!
11 view cover	At Newport (1957) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Holiday Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Holiday at Newport presents the naturally intriguing results when Verve paired two sets recorded two days apart (over the 4th of July weekend, 1957) by the two best female singers of the 20th century. Unfortunately, circumstances weren't in their favor, as the combined factors of an unsympathetic band (for Fitzgerald) and ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $9.39!
12 view cover	Just for the Record... (1991) more music like this by Barbra Streisand As they evolved in the 1980s, retrospective box sets tended to contain a full complement of an artist's essential recordings, plus enough rarities to suggest the artist's inspirations and ambitions. Not all box sets conformed to this outline, however. Barbra Streisand was unusual, in that she had a large base of devoted fans interested in the ... see all copies from $5.94! new only from $5.94!
13 view cover	Sketches on Standards (1953) more music like this by Stan Kenton This LP contains six Bill Russo arrangements, five from Stan Kenton, and one by Lennie Niehaus. The repertoire features many songs not associated with Kenton (such as "Sophisticated Lady," "Pennies from Heaven," and "Over the Rainbow"), but the inventive yet melodic treatments certainly sound like the Kenton band. The main soloists are altoist Lee ... see all copies from $5.96! new only from $11.25!
14 view cover	Jazz in 3/4 Time (1956) more music like this by Max Roach The post-Clifford Brown quintet that drummer Max Roach led tends to get overlooked, but it actually ranked up there with the Jazz Messengers and the Horace Silver Quintet in the late '50s. With tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins becoming a stronger soloist month by month (he was arguably the top tenor in jazz at the time) and veteran trumpeter Kenny ... see all copies from $9.42! new only from $9.42!
15 view cover	Portrait of Sinatra: Columbia Classics (1943) more music like this by Frank Sinatra The beauty of any Frank Sinatra collection is that, depending upon how it is put together by the producers for whatever purpose they have in mind, each one allows the listener to focus on a different aspect of the singer's work and pick out new and varied details. On one level, this double-CD set is a good compromise for listeners who aren't ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $22.24!
16 view cover	Sinatra 80th: All the Best (1995) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Released to coincide with Frank Sinatra's 80th birthday, Sinatra 80th: All the Best is a double-disc set that draws from his classic Capitol concept albums, as well as singles from the '50s and a couple of rarities, which aren't particularly compelling. The main strength of the package is as an introduction, since it recaps most of his essential ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $2.95!
17 view cover	The Complete Capitol Recordings (1949) more music like this by Art Tatum Previously released as two separate volumes, The Complete Capitol Recordings of Art Tatum is a two-disc collection that presents everything the pianist recorded for Capitol Records in chronlogical order. There's 20 solo sides from 1949 and a 1952 session with a trio of guitarist Everett Barksdale and bassist Slam Stewart. Throughout the collection ... see all copies from $8.85! new only from $8.85!
18 view cover	The Last Trane (1957) more music like this by John Coltrane Despite its title (which was due to the original LP containing the last of Prestige's John Coltrane material to be released for the first time), this album does not have Coltrane's final recordings either of his career or for Prestige. These "leftovers" are generally rewarding with an alternate take of "Trane's Slo Blues" (called "Slotrane") being ... see all copies from $6.83! new only from $9.39!
19 view cover	Bill Evans for Lovers (2004) more music like this by Bill Evans As part of Verve's For Lovers series, pianist Bill Evans is spotlighted on 11 tracks recorded between 1962 and 1970. This romantic set of standards aptly highlights Evans' melancholic light touch, especially on "But Beautiful," "Spring Is Here," "My Foolish Heart," "Lover Man," and "If You Could See Me Now." Stan Getz, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones, ... see all copies from $9.42! new only from $9.42!
20 view cover	The Very Best of the Rodgers and Hart Song Book (2007) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald After the initial impact of her first songbook venture (Cole Porter) in early 1956, Ella Fitzgerald returned to the studio quickly with the same arranger/conductor (Buddy Bregman) and recorded nearly three dozen songs from the pens of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Released just six months after the Porter volume, Sings the Rodgers and Hart Song ... see all copies from $4.20! new only from $4.20!
21 view cover	Dreamsville (2001) more music like this by Stacey Kent Vocalist Stacey Kent may or may not be "the greatest ballad singer in half a century," as her PR claims, but her straightforward renditions of these by-request ballads are not at all generic. What makes them consistently delightful is her unique sound and delivery. There's a certain brassiness, a trumpet-like pointedness, in her voice, as well as ... see all copies from $11.32! new only from $14.56!
22 view cover	Especially for You (1959) more music like this by Duane Eddy Duane Eddy's second LP contained just one hit, "Yep," although "Peter Gunn" would enter the Top 40 when it was issued later in 1960. Unlike his debut Have "Twangy" Guitar Will Travel, it was not built around singles with a few songs to stretch it to album length, with all of the songs (except "Yep") being recorded in a week. Give Eddy this much ... see all copies from $13.74! new only from $13.74!
23 view cover	Blues in the Night (2006) more music like this by Ann Hampton Callaway Ann Hampton Callaway is not your typical jazz songbird. For one thing, she's an accomplished and award-winning songwriter, which is unusual in a field dominated by interpreters. But what's most surprising is her voice -- it's a low alto instrument with a rich, dark, butterscotchy tone, and when she gets way down into her lower range the effect can ... see all copies from $16.20! new only from $16.20!
24 view cover	Black Coffee: Best of the Decca Years (1997) more music like this by Peggy Lee see all copies from $6.91! new only from $6.91!
25 view cover	Dripping Indigo (2005) more music like this by Chantal Chamberland see all copies from $11.16! new only from $11.45!
