1	Lady Sings the Blues [Original Soundtrack] (1972) more music like this by Diana Ross/Original Soundtrack Her biggest album as a solo act, Diana Ross forever ended any association with the Supremes after this film. She not only got an Oscar nomination and more roles, she really did capture the spirit and flavor, if not the sound and timbre, of Billie Holiday's music; her performance was the film's only saving grace. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.25! new only from $9.09!
2	Songs I Like to Sing! (1960) more music like this by Helen Humes One of the high points of Helen Humes' career, this Contemporary set (reissued on CD) features superior songs, superb backup, and very suitable and swinging arrangements by Marty Paich. Humes' versions of "If I Could Be With You," "You're Driving Me Crazy," and "Million Dollar Secret," in particular, are definitive. On four songs, she is backed by ... see all copies from $6.26! new only from $6.26!
3	The Poll Winners (1957) more music like this by Barney Kessel/Shelly Manne/Ray Brown If the picture of three grown men hanging onto giant, colored swirl sticks looks a bit odd, or if the title The Poll Winners seems a bit conceited, the music, nonetheless -- recorded in 1957 -- still sounds great in 2002. Besides, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Shelly Manne really did win polls in Down Beat, Playboy, and ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.29!
4	Ella and Oscar (1974) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald with Oscar Peterson For this Pablo set (reissued on CD), Ella Fitzgerald is heard on half of the program in duets with pianist Oscar Peterson and for the remainder in trios with Peterson and bassist Ray Brown. In general the performances are memorable (particularly "How Long Has This Been Going On," "More than You Know," "Midnight Sun" and "April in Paris") with the ... see all copies from $6.30! new only from $6.30!
5	Count Basie/Sarah Vaughan (1961) more music like this by Count Basie & Sarah Vaughan see all copies from $7.80! new only from $11.13!
6	The Best of the Pablo Solo Masterpieces (2003) more music like this by Art Tatum The Best of the Pablo Solo Masterpieces collects 20 tracks from the original seven-disc box set of recordings made by influential jazz pianist Art Tatum between 1953 and 1956. Featuring Tatum alone at the piano, producer Norman Granz intended these sessions as a spotlight for the artist, and as such, they deliver a portrait of the genius ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $10.29!
7	Gold (2005) more music like this by Billie Holiday Hip-O's 2004 two-CD and one-DVD compilation The Ultimate Collection set a new standard for Billie Holiday retrospectives. It boasted not only a strong selection of songs, but also material from all of her scattered labels (Brunswick, Decca, Commodore, Verve) and it stood, in effect, as the first best-of compilation capable of living up to its ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $10.29!
8	Jazz 'Round Midnight: Piano (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Another fine sampler from Verve, Jazz ‘Round Midnight: Piano offers up a after-hours mix featuring some of the music's top ivory tinklers. Starting off with Lester Young's classic reading of "Mean to Me" from 1945 (prominently featuring Nat Cole showing of his early genius at the keys), the 15 tracks include both solo and combo sides by the famous ... see all copies from $39.96!
9	Lady Day: The Master Takes and Singles (2007) more music like this by Billie Holiday Billie Holiday's story is so huge, her artistry so vast, and her impact so incalculable, that even attempting to corral a representative sampling of it within a single collection of recordings is an overwhelming, perhaps foolhardy task. Many have tried, of course, and literally hundreds of options of varying quality and legitimacy, scattered ... see all copies from $27.09! new only from $42.20!
10	Moody's Mood for Love (1956) more music like this by James Moody A strong version of the "Moody's Mood for Love," with a vocal by the late Eddie Jefferson (v). Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.81! new only from $9.81!
11 view cover	This Time I'm Swingin'!/Pretty Baby (1957) more music like this by Dean Martin This British two-fer combines Dean Martin's fourth (This Time I'm Swingin'!, 1960) and second (Pretty Baby, 1957) regular studio albums onto one CD. The later album, heard first, was Martin's initial collaboration with conductor/arranger Nelson Riddle. It was an easy, swinging collection with appealing horn charts and a series of comfortable ... see all copies from $10.10! new only from $10.10!
12 view cover	Ten Cents a Dance (1926) more music like this by Ruth Etting This English import has 20 recordings featuring the early jazz-influenced pop singer Ruth Etting. Although the music is not programmed in chronological order (and there is no personnel listing given), many of Etting's greatest performances are here: the emotional "Ten Cents a Dance," "Button Up Your Overcoat," "Mean to Me," "Sam, the Old Accordion ... see all copies from $13.43!
13 view cover	Bergen Sings Morgan/The Party's Over (1999) more music like this by Polly Bergen This Collectables two-fer includes the first two albums that Polly Bergen recorded for Columbia, Bergen Sings Morgan and The Party's Over, which were also her only charting albums. Apparently stuck in the torch-singing mold of Helen Morgan, the Broadway star whom she saluted on her first album, Bergen sings a cavalcade of anthems for a lonely ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
14 view cover	Stitt's Bits: Bebop Recordings 1949-1952 [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by Sonny Stitt The rap on Sonny Stitt is that he was little more than an imitator of Charlie Parker, without a firm identity of his own. However, from the evidence of these early Stitt recordings -- gathered together into a three-CD box -- the first part of the rap doesn't quite ring true, though the second remains an open question. Stitt may have shared an ... see all copies from $24.50! new only from $24.50!
15 view cover	Just in Time (1998) more music like this by Oliver Jones Recorded live in Toronto in late 1997, this double-disc set finds Jones and his trio in good form on a host of well-worn standards and a few unusual choices (like a nice "Waltzing Matilda"). While Jones' piano approach may be too heavily ornamented for some listeners, with extensive keyboard runs throughout, the music is welcoming rather than ... see all copies from $17.30! new only from $17.30!
16 view cover	The Lady Sings [Proper] (2001) more music like this by Billie Holiday The digital marketplace contains a large number of Billie Holiday compilations with the phrase "Lady Sings" in the title. The one you are looking for is surprisingly inexpensive and intelligently presented. The Proper label specializes in affordably priced box sets that contain enough music -- usually around 100 tracks -- to impart a strong ... see all copies from $23.63! new only from $23.63!
17 view cover	The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing: Centennial Collection (2005) more music like this by Tommy Dorsey see all copies from $24.19! new only from $35.59!
18 view cover	Work Song (1960) more music like this by Nat Adderley This CD reissue brings back a near-classic by cornetist Nat Adderley. Utilizing a cornet-cello-guitar front line (with Sam Jones and Wes Montgomery) along with a top-notch rhythm section (pianist Bobby Timmons, Percy Heath, or Keter Betts on bass and drummer Louis Hayes), Adderley performs a fine early version of his greatest hit ("Work Song") and ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $8.49!
19 view cover	With Billie in Mind (1972) more music like this by Teddy Wilson The concept seemed so logical that it was surprising that no one else had thought of it earlier. Producer Hank O'Neal suggested to the veteran swing pianist Teddy Wilson that he record a set of Billie Holiday tunes since "Lady Day" had cut many of her greatest sides with Wilson in the 1930s. This solo CD, which was originally a 14-song LP, has ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $24.15!
20 view cover	The Divine Sarah Vaughan: The Columbia Years 1949-1953 (1960) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan Twenty-eight of the 60 songs that Sarah Vaughan recorded for Columbia Records during her four years there. The early sides are arranged, with one exception (credited to Hugo Winterhalter), by Joe Lipman, while later sides have her working with a diverse group of arrangers and conductors, including Glenn Miller alumnus Norman Leyden and light music ... see all copies from $8.87!
21 view cover	At Carnegie Hall, 1946 (1946) more music like this by Woody Herman and the Herd While this fine double album is great to listen to, its real value is as a historical document. Bringing together the known recordings from a 1946 performance of Woody Herman and the Herd at Carnegie Hall (some of which have never been released, others of which were previously scattered across two albums), this album marks several important ... see all copies from $18.55!
22 view cover	Late at Night with Dean Martin (1999) more music like this by Dean Martin Capitol released Late at Night With Dean Martin along with another generous 15-track compilation, Hurtin' Country Songs. Where its companion benefited from a specific theme, Late at Night doesn't have a clear-cut concept, it just finds Martin at his suave, swinging best. What makes the compilation work is that it draws from both his Capitol and ... see all copies from $9.60! new only from $15.28!
23 view cover	Crazy Walk (2004) more music like this by Tab Smith One of the great alto saxophonists to emerge from the swing era, Tab Smith had a few instrumental hit records for the United label in the 1950s and recorded extensively for the company. Crazy Walk is the fourth and final collection of all of his United recordings and, of the 24 selections, eight were previously unreleased. The music is mostly ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $14.05!
24 view cover	The Art Tatum Solo Masterpieces, Vol. 4 (1953) more music like this by Art Tatum On the fourth volume in this eight-CD series, Tatum sounds at his best on "Ill Wind" and "The Man I Love." Taken from the 119 piano solos he cut for Norman Granz in four lengthy recording sessions during 1953-55, these performances are concise, relaxed, and surprisingly predictable, if virtuosic. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
25 view cover	Love Me or Leave Me [Pearl] (1996) more music like this by Ruth Etting see all copies from $12.40! new only from $16.48!
