1	Standards (1998) more music like this by Ray Charles Standards is a 17-track collection of Ray Charles' versions of classic pop songs, culled recordings he made for Atlantic, ABC/Paramount, ABC/TRC, and Crossover/Atlantic between 1959 and 1977. There are a handful of hits -- "Georgia on My Mind," "Ruby," "That Lucky Old Sun," "Without Love (There Is Nothing)," "Makin' Whoopee" -- but the collection ... see all copies from $11.98! new only from $11.98!
2	Pure Ella (1950) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald In 1950, six years before her acclaimed Song Book series for Verve, Ella Fitzgerald recorded eight George and Ira Gershwin classics in intimate duets with the sensitive and lightly swinging pianist Ellis Larkins. Four years later she recorded a dozen more songs (this time by a variety of composers) with Larkins, and all 20 performances are ... see all copies from $4.81! new only from $6.41!
3	More Music from Ray (2005) more music like this by Ray Charles Ever since Dirty Dancing in the late '80s, it has been an industry custom to follow a hit soundtrack with a sequel a few months after the original turned into a hit. By the mid-2000s, this practice was standard, and labels held back material from the original for the sequel, which would nevertheless pale in comparison to the original since, apart ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $6.82!
4	Side by Side (1994) more music like this by Perlman/Peterson Classical violinist Itzhak Perlman is not a jazz improviser, so this meeting with the Oscar Peterson Quartet is more a loving tribute to the melodies (ten veteran standards plus two Peterson originals) than a strong jazz date. While Perlman sticks closely to the themes, one's attention focuses much more on Peterson, who had suffered a serious ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.29!
5	Music to Listen to Barney Kessel By (1956) more music like this by Barney Kessel Featured is Kessel's guitar with five woodwinds and a rhythm section. 12 songs were recorded with Buddy Collette (fl), Andre Previn (p), Shelly Manne (d), Jimmy Rowles (p), Red Mitchell (b), Buddy Clark (b), and others. All Music Guide, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.38! new only from $10.38!
6	Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 20's (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The 1920s evoke an era of gangsters, flappers, bootleg gin, and a nation gone jazz crazy right down to the raccoon coats. This second entry in RCA's Nipper's Greatest Hits series evokes that era in a big way on this 20-track compilation. While there were jazz recordings by the carload from the '20s, it's the pop tunes that drove the decade, and ... see all copies from $8.98! new only from $11.06!
7	Wild Cool and Swingin' (1999) more music like this by Julie London Wild, Cool and Swingin' compiles 22 songs from several of the many albums she made for the Liberty label from 1957 though 1966. Most of the selections link London with obviously good but mostly unidentified studio players, as well as with excellently arranged material that is unencumbered, for the most part, by syrupy string ensemble playing. Her ... see all copies from $9.60! new only from $10.79!
8	The Art Tatum Solo Masterpieces, Vol. 5 (1953) more music like this by Art Tatum The fifth volume of this eight CD-series features Tatum interpreting 15 of the 119 standards he recorded during four marathon solo recording sessions for Norman Granz. He sounds typically wondrous in spots even though there are few surprises throughout this generally relaxed set. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.88! new only from $8.90!
9	The Very Best of Nancy Wilson: The Capitol Recordings 1960-1976 (2007) more music like this by Nancy Wilson The career of Nancy Wilson has been compiled many times and in many ways, but never like this. Focusing in-depth on her Capitol recordings during the 15 years of her prime, this three-disc set is a wonderful collection for those who appreciate Wilson's ability to combine Broadway power and finesse with jazz rhythm (and a certain degree of ... see all copies from $30.39! new only from $30.39!
10	Let's Misbehave (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Let's Misbehave features singer Janice Hagan's jazzy interpretations of some of Broadway's biggest, sassiest songs, including "All That Jazz," "Whatever Lola Wants," and "My Heart Belongs to Daddy." Hagan's throaty alto is a good vehicle for these songs as well as "Let's Fall in Love," "Makin' Whoopee," and smokier tracks like "September Song" and ... see all copies from $13.92! new only from $13.92!
11 view cover	Breezin' Along/On the Sunny Side (2001) more music like this by The Four Lads Breezin' Along/On the Sunny Side collects two of the Four Lads' mid-'50s albums onto one CD. Aside from "Breezin' Along With the Breeze," neither of these albums include definitive songs from the Lads, but their smooth, appealing versions of standards such as "Someone to Watch Over Me," "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "Sentimental Journey," and ... see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
12 view cover	Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century (1999) more music like this by Various Artists To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, ... see all copies from $174.98! new only from $441.91!
13 view cover	Ain't We Got Fun (1955) more music like this by Les Elgart Les and Larry Elgart led a very musical dance band in the 1950s, one of the few new big bands of the era. The emphasis was always on the melody rather than on jazz solos and this live CD of previously unreleased performances (recorded in stereo) is quite predictable. Their orchestra performs 14 standards with taste but no real originality, making ... see all copies from $12.68!
14 view cover	Feeling + Finesse = Jazz (1962) more music like this by Stephane Grappelli Although he was very active in France during the 1950s and '60s, violinist Stephane Grappelli recorded relatively little until 1969. This Atlantic LP from 1962 finds Grappelli in good form in a quintet with guitarist Pierre Cavalli, performing a Django-dominated repertoire that is not all that different from what he would be playing 30 years later ... see all copies from $8.26! new only from $9.09!
15 view cover	Go You (1995) more music like this by Allstonians see all copies from $2.49! new only from $3.66!
16 view cover	Cuttin' Capers/Bright and Shiny (1995) more music like this by Doris Day This discount-priced two-fer combines two up-tempo Doris Day albums from the late '50s and early '60s. The discs were not released sequentially; 1959's Cuttin' Capers was followed by two 1960 releases, What Every Girl Should Know and Show Time, before Bright and Shiny appeared in 1961. But the two albums share a sprightly tone. The theme of Bright ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
17 view cover	Priceless Jazz (1997) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Priceless Jazz Collection is a budget-priced compilation that intends to give neophytes an affordable introduction to Ella Fitzgerald's Decca recordings. Although purists and collectors will find this sampler incomplete and inconsequential, it nevertheless gives new listeners a good idea of Fitzgerald's heyday by featuring such classic ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.00!
18 view cover	Clap Hands! Here Comes Rosie!/Fancy Meeting You Here (2000) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Two of Clooney's late-'50s/early-'60s RCA Victor albums on one CD. Clap Hands! Here Comes Rosie! is an upbeat session from 1960 on which Clooney, superbly fronting a band conducted by Bob Thompson, tackles standards like "Give Me the Simple Life," "Bye Bye Blackbird," and "Makin' Whoopee." Fancy Meeting You Here is a 1958 duet album with Bing ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $15.07!
19 view cover	Now and Again (2005) more music like this by Dick Hyman & Randy Sandke The duo of pianist Dick Hyman and trumpeter Randy Sandke, who had played together in a variety of settings during the previous 20 years, is a perfect matchup. Both musicians are virtuosos, very adept at 1920s jazz and open to later styles, with Sandke even delving into the avant-garde at times. On this set they explore standards, classic jazz ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
20 view cover	Nana Swings (2003) more music like this by Nana Mouskouri see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
21 view cover	From Broadway with Love/Tender Loving Care (2006) more music like this by Nancy Wilson see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
22 view cover	Mister So and So (1996) more music like this by Frank Christian Having taken 13 years between the releases of his first and second albums, Frank Christian was back after only a year with his third. One reason for the speed seems to be that he chose to make an album more like his live performances, mixing in cover songs along with his own originals. Those songs gave some insight into the breadth of the artist, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.57!
23 view cover	Sweet N' Jazzy (2000) more music like this by Sweet N' Jazzy see all copies from $1.99!
24 view cover	1953-1954 (2007) more music like this by Beryl Booker Volume two in the complete recordings of Beryl Booker as presented in the Classics Chronological Series documents the adventures of the Beryl Booker Trio with eight titles recorded for Discovery Records in Los Angeles on October 14, 1953, material from two Vogue sessions that took place in Paris during February 1954, and six selections recorded ... see all copies from $12.97! new only from $12.97!
25 view cover	Makin' Whoopee: A Tribute to the King Cole Trio (1997) more music like this by King & Bluiett Trio This thoroughly enjoyable album is baritone saxophonist Hamiet Bluiett's tribute to the music of the Nat King Cole Trio. Using the same spare backing of just guitar and bass as the Cole Trio, Bluiett covers familiar material from the Cole repertoire like "Sweet Lorraine," "Paper Moon," "Straighten Up and Fly Right," and even that Yuletide chestnut ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $14.14!
