2	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!
3	Blossom Dearie Sings Comden and Green (1959) more music like this by Blossom Dearie Buoyed by the success of Ella Fitzgerald's songbook series, Verve executive Norman Granz suggested to one of his other artists, Blossom Dearie, that she tackle the canon of lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green. But while Ella's acrobatic voice proved more than a match for any brand of songwriter (especially heavyweights like Gershwin, Porter, ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
4	Over the Years (2000) more music like this by Abbey Lincoln Recorded mostly in New York, Over the Years is aimed at summing up Abbey Lincoln's long career. Joining her are excellent, but not so well-known performers, plus the giant sax player Joe Lovano. But it is Lincoln's special interpretative powers that carry the day, as one would expect. The play list is rather unusual even for an iconoclast like ... see all copies from $4.52! new only from $4.52!

8	Together Again [Concord] (2003) more music like this by Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Tony Bennett's second, and final, meeting with Bill Evans is a memorable session for several reasons. Bennett is very relaxed and inspired by Evans' imaginative yet reserved accompaniment, which allows the spotlight to stay focused on the singer. The program is a wide-ranging mix of standards ("You Don't Know What Love Is" and "Dream Dancing") and ... see all copies from $8.68! new only from $8.68!

11 view cover	Real Emotional Girl (2001) more music like this by Patricia O'Callaghan Patricia O'Callaghan's Real Emotional Girl was her first album distributed in the U.S. and is also her major-label debut. This O'Callaghan album reduces the number of Kurt Weill tunes to just three, increases the Leonard Cohen quotient to five, and includes other songs from slightly more mainstream writers, such as Pearl Jam and Bob Dylan. Those ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $13.39!

13 view cover	Solo Piano (1973) more music like this by Dave McKenna Prior to 1973, pianist Dave McKenna had not recorded as a leader in a decade and it was this particular album (now available on CD with two additional songs and a few alternate takes) that helped him gain recognition for his brilliant playing; it would be followed by three other Chiaroscuro dates and a countless number of sets for Concord. A ... see all copies from $9.00!

15 view cover	Bare: Collection of Ballads (2001) more music like this by Madeline Eastman/Tom Garvin This set of sensitive ballads features singer Madeline Eastman, who is accompanied by just pianist Tom Garvin. It immediately reminds one of Irene Kral's collaborations with Alan Broadbent in the 1970s and sometimes comes close to being as coolly emotional. Eastman is probably best-known for her wit, scatting ability, and swinging style, so this ... see all copies from $11.88! new only from $11.88!
16 view cover	Remember Love (2005) more music like this by Mary Stallings Mary Stallings has long been a very impressive singer living on the West Coast. Her style is conventional, a bit reminiscent of Carmen McRae's, but of very high quality and a logical match with her warm voice. Remember Love greatly benefits from the guiding hand of Geri Allen, who not only plays piano and organ but produced the project and ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!

19 view cover	Broadway to Hollywood -- And Back (2006) more music like this by Mary Martin Mary Martin went back and forth between the West Coast world of movie entertainment and the East Coast world of the legitimate stage several times before finally settling in New York in the mid-'40s to be a major Broadway star for the next two decades.
