1	Love Me or Leave Me (1955) more music like this by Doris Day w/ James Cagney Love Me or Leave Me was one of Doris Day's greatest, and least likely, successes. Coming out of a string of light movie musicals, she turned in a dramatic performance in this film biography of singer Ruth Etting. She looked nothing like Etting and made no attempt to sound like her, either. But since Etting's recordings of the 1920s and '30s were ... see all copies from $3.90! new only from $5.27!

3	Lush Life (1984) more music like this by Linda Ronstadt What's New illustrated that Linda Ronstadt was no longer interested in contemporary pop, and since it was a surprise success, there was no reason not to repeat the formula on Lush Life. Working again with Nelson Riddle, Ronstadt runs through several pop standards -- "When I Fall in Love," "Sophisticated Lady," "Falling in Love Again," "It Never ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $17.23!
4	Late Night Brubeck: Live from the Blue Note (1993) more music like this by Dave Brubeck Dave Brubeck teams up with Bobby Militello (heard here on alto, tenor and flute), bassist Jack Six and drummer Randy Jones for a set that emphasizes ballads and slower tempos. Militello brings back the spirit of Paul Desmond while Brubeck's own playing continues to be full of surprises. On "Theme for June" he breaks out into stride, a Duke ... see all copies from $3.47! new only from $10.35!
5	Moody's Mood for Love [Blue Note] (1955) more music like this by King Pleasure The bulk of this CD reissue contains King Pleasure's final recording session, a 1962 set with unidentified personnel (other than tenor saxophonist Seldon Powell). A few remakes ("I'm in the Mood for Love" and "Don't Get Started") are joined by originals, a couple of straightforward tunes, and some newer vocalese arrangements. In addition, this CD ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.25!
6	Ella Swings Brightly with Nelson (1959) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Nelson Riddle, whose arrangements were an asset on some of Ella Fitzgerald's Song Book projects, also made two albums with her during 1961: this one plus Ella Swings Gently with Nelson. The singer has rarely sounded better than during this period. For the Swings Brightly set (which gets a slight edge over the other one), Fitzgerald sticks mostly ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $13.64!
7	Any Old Time (1986) more music like this by Carmen McRae This little-known date, recorded for the Japanese Denon label, features singer Carmen McRae with her regular quartet of the time (pianist Eric Gunnison, bassist Scott Colley, drummer Mark Pulice and guitarist John Collins) and guest tenor Clifford Jordan.

9	Dedicated to Nelson (1996) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney During 1956-57, the Rosemary Clooney television show featured the singer with arrangements provided by Nelson Riddle. Nearly four decades later, pianist/arranger John Oddo and Clooney listened to many hours of audio tapes from the show and picked 16 of Riddle's charts to revive. Since the music was no longer available on paper, it had to be ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $5.46!
10	A Musical Romance (2002) more music like this by Billie Holiday & Lester Young A Musical Romance gathers some of the most romantic songs Billie Holiday recorded with Lester Young, including "The Man I Love," "Time on My Hands (You in My Arms)," "I Must Have That Man," and "Who Wants Love?"

11 view cover	My Romance (1998) more music like this by Houston Person High Note Records, founded by the former owners of Muse Records, has retained some of the defunct label's more talented performers, one of them being Houston Person.

12 view cover	The Ultimate Collection (2005) more music like this by Billie Holiday Although the title could only have been coined by a marketing department, The Ultimate Collection deserves the highest of praise. It is not only the first American compilation to survey Billie Holiday's entire 25-year career -- and astutely, at that -- but it also includes a DVD that presents the lion's share of her film and TV appearances, a full ... see all copies from $31.90! new only from $31.90!
13 view cover	The Complete Capitol Trios (1999) more music like this by Benny Goodman The Complete Captiol Trios is a long-overdue reissue of the five trio sessions Benny Goodman led for Capitol Records. The five sessions are easily broken down into two categories -- recordings from 1947 and recordings from 1954. The highlights of the 1947 recordings are sessions with pianist Teddy Wilson and drummer Jimmy Crawford. This provided ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!

16 view cover	Angelina [Viper's Nest] (1950) more music like this by Louis Prima Swing may have been dead by 1950 but one cannot tell that from this excellent CD which has three radio broadcasts from the Louis Prima big band. Prima, an exciting performer, shows his versatility on a diverse program and takes quite a few hot trumpet solos while his wife Keely Smith (just 22 at the time) is heard on some ballads. However it is ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.99!
17 view cover	Swingtime in New York (1994) more music like this by Claude Williams Violinist Claude Williams, at the age of 86, shows that he is still in his musical prime during this quintet date with Bill Easley (who switches between tenor, clarinet and flute), pianist Sir Roland Hanna, bassist Earl May and drummer Joe Ascione.

18 view cover	The Cosmopolitan Marlene Dietrich (1993) more music like this by Marlene Dietrich Cosmopolitan Marlene Dietrich is a terrific 18-track collection that showcases the seductive, sophisticated pop songs Dietrich recorded for Columbia Records.

20	For Lady Day, Vol. 2 (1995) more music like this by Carmen McRae The second volume of Carmen McRae's heartfelt tribute to Billie Holiday, like the first, comes from a broadcast taped by WBGO-FM at the Blue Note in New York City on New Year's Eve, 1983. McRae takes a few minutes to explain the evolution of her tribute and she hardly attempts to sing Holiday's material in the same way, but utilizing her own ... see all copies from $6.97! new only from $19.85!
21 view cover	One Night Stand: The Town Hall Concert 1947 (1947) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan & Lester Young This 1997 CD has music from a previously unreleased Town Hall concert. The program is split between the Lester Young sextet and Sarah Vaughan with the two principals only coming together on the final song, "I Cried for You." The recording quality is listenable, if not flawless, and it features the two giants at interesting points in their careers. ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!

23 view cover	The Sheriff (1963) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet Recorded in 1963, The Sheriff features the Modern Jazz Quartet in fine swinging form. The program is not as sharply focused as on some of the earlier Atlantic releases, but it is compelling nonetheless. There are four originals by pianist John Lewis, including the fleeting, bluesy title cut, and the moody, spacious "In a Crowd," -- originally ... see all copies from $8.91! new only from $8.91!
24 view cover	Young Sassy (2001) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan From the start of her career, Sarah Vaughan had a wondrous voice. She never declined and her voice remained a miracle throughout her career.
