1	Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook (2003) more music like this by Bette Midler Cabaret icon Bette Midler reunites with her old piano partner Barry Manilow for the first time in over 30 years to toast one of their mutual idols on Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook. Clooney was one of the top jazz/pop vocalists of the '50s whose clear, bright tone, impeccable melodicism, and smiling, girl-next-door image came together to make ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.39!
2	Marsalis Standard Time, Vol. 1 (1986) more music like this by Wynton Marsalis On the first of three volumes, Wynton Marsalis explores ten standards plus two of his originals with his quartet of the period (which consists of pianist Marcus Roberts, bassist Robert Hurst III, and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts). Marsalis' tone is quite beautiful on the well-balanced set; even the ballads have their unpredictable moments. Among the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.66!
3	Shearing Piano (1956) more music like this by George Shearing This is one of the earliest releases to feature George Shearing exclusively as a solo pianist, and the CD reissue of the long unavailable LP adds ten previously unissued tracks. He is rather surprisingly low-key on most of these interpretations, even though they are mostly ballads, possibly because of Capitol's original marketing concept. "Stella ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $14.03!
4 $The Essential Louis Armstrong [Columbia\Legacy]$	The Essential Louis Armstrong [Columbia\Legacy] (2004) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Even at two discs and 37 tracks, it's difficult to say that this set contains everything that is truly essential from Louis Armstrong's monumental five-decade career. It does, however, do a great job of touching down at key points, and nicely balances Armstrong's various guises as a groundbreaking sideman, soloist, bandleader, singer, and ... see all copies from $21.33! new only from $21.33!
5	16 Biggest Hits (2000) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Rosemary Clooney launched a solo career on the eventual Sony-owned Columbia Records label in 1950 after splitting with her sister Betty and the Tony Pastor Orchestra, and she racked up a series of hits before departing for RCA Victor in 1957, at which time her commercial success declined. 16 Biggest Hits contains 11 of her 16 biggest hits from ... see all copies from $10.66! new only from $10.66!
6	Point of No Return (1961) more music like this by Frank Sinatra At the time he recorded his final Capitol album, Point of No Return, Frank Sinatra was no longer interested in giving his record label first-rate material, preferring to save that for his new label, Reprise. However, someone persuaded the singer to make the album a special occasion by reuniting with Axel Stordahl, the arranger/conductor who helped ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.11!
7	The Definitive George Shearing (2002) more music like this by George Shearing British-born pianist George Shearing's work for the MGM and Capitol record labels from the late '40s to the early '60s is collected on this 21-track compilation. Beginning with four tracks recorded for MGM in 1949 with his unique quintet of guitar, bass, drums, and vibraphone (which would double the melody he was playing with his right hand), ... see all copies from $7.90! new only from $10.35!
8	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Benny Goodman Benny Goodman's volume in the Ken Burns Jazz series ranges from one of his first recording appearances, on a 1927 side by Ben Pollack, all the way to the late '50s. Of the 22 tracks, there are many highlights including "Body and Soul" from his trio (with Teddy Wilson and Gene Krupa), plus two songs from his legendary 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $11.06!
9	Clifford Brown with Strings (1955) more music like this by Clifford Brown see all copies from $9.33! new only from $9.33!
10	Jazz Cello (1960) more music like this by Ray Brown On the last day of August and the first day of September 1960, bassist Ray Brown recorded his third album for the Verve label, focusing most of his attention upon the cello while Joe Mondragon handled the bass. The 11-piece band on this date was conducted by arranger Russ Garcia and included reed players Paul Horn and Bob Cooper as well as pianist ... see all copies from $7.38! new only from $10.06!
11 view cover	Elana James (2007) more music like this by Elana James Elana James may be the fiddler and singer's first solo album, but James is no novice. Formerly one-third of the Western swing revival trio the Hot Club of Cowtown and later a prominent sidewoman in Bob Dylan's touring band, James has instrumental chops galore. If anything, the big surprise on Elana James is that James largely downplays her well ... see all copies from $8.54! new only from $10.98!
12 view cover	20th Century Piano Genius (1950) more music like this by Art Tatum This double album was taped at a private party in 1956, featuring the amazing Art Tatum on solo piano. Tatum, who died the following year, never did decline, and he is in prime form throughout this highly enjoyable and frequently exciting set of standards. There are no real romps a la "Tiger Rag" but the 27 performances contain plenty of ... see all copies from $5.82! new only from $19.88!
13 view cover	Love Songs (2004) more music like this by Billy Eckstine see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!
14 view cover	The Benny Goodman Story [Capitol] (1955) more music like this by Benny Goodman Consumer advisory: In 1955, Universal Pictures released The Benny Goodman Story, starring Steve Allen. Goodman himself played the music in the film (which consisted of re-recordings of his old hits), rounding up such former band members as Harry James, Martha Tilton, and Lionel Hampton, and a successful soundtrack LP was issued by Decca. But ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $7.35!
15 view cover	Tiptoe Tapdance (1977) more music like this by Hank Jones Originally on the Galaxy label, this CD reissue is a rare solo outing by pianist Hank Jones. The emphasis is on ballads and his treatments of these songs (which include three religious pieces) are respectful, melodic and lightly swinging. There is not much variety here but the music (within its limitations) is enjoyable. Scott Yanow, All Music ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.39!
16 view cover	Jazz Singer (2003) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney After finishing her period as one of the Clooney Sisters with Tony Pastor's orchestra, Rosemary Clooney became famous for her pop hits on the Columbia label in the early '50s. Although never really a jazz singer on a consistent basis, Clooney had a few opportunities to record in jazz settings in the 1950s, most notably an album with Duke Ellington ... see all copies from $5.61! new only from $5.61!
17 view cover	Satchmo: A Musical Autobiography (1957) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Louis Armstrong's Satchmo: A Musical Autobiography was recorded as an oral memoir (with overdubbed background piano by Billy Kyle) combined with re-creations of many of his memorable recordings, as well as a few of the originals. Although such a project had the potential to become trite, the effort comes off very well indeed. This three-CD reissue ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $31.70!
18 view cover	Close Enough for Love (1988) more music like this by Shirley Horn Shirley Horn's second Verve recording consolidated the success that she had had with her previous release, I Thought About You, and resulted in her gaining a large audience for her ballad vocals and solid jazz piano playing. Performing with her usual trio (which includes bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams) and guest tenor Buck Hill ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
19 view cover	Mingus Plays Piano (1963) more music like this by Charles Mingus Bassist Charles Mingus would never qualify as a virtuoso on the piano but his technique was reasonably impressive and his imagination quite brilliant. This unique solo piano CD (which was reissued in 1997) has a few standards ("Body and Soul," "Memories of You" and "I'm Getting Sentimental over You") along with some freely improvised originals, ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $10.14!
20 view cover	The Jaki Byard Experience (1968) more music like this by Jaki Byard Pianist Jaki Byard and the wondrous Roland Kirk (here switching between tenor, clarinet, and manzello) were two of the few jazz musicians who could play in literally every jazz style, from New Orleans to bop and free form. If only they had recorded a history-of-jazz album. Fortunately, they did meet up on a few occasions, including this brilliant ... see all copies from $10.06! new only from $10.06!
21 view cover	85 Candles: Live in New York (2005) more music like this by Marian McPartland & Friends Marian McPartland celebrated her 85th birthday in style by hosting a lively session at Birdland with many guests (both young and old) who have appeared on her long-running NPR series. Whether she's a part of the audience or on-stage jamming with her friends, it's apparent that everyone in the club is having a blast. The romp through "I Love You" ... see all copies from $17.32! new only from $17.32!
22 view cover	Whisper Sweet (2003) more music like this by Carol Sloane While young female singers tend to catch the eyes and ears of the general public, seasoned jazz musicians, critics, and fans are the ones to appreciate a veteran vocalist like Carol Sloane. With over a half century of professional singing experience, Sloane's voice is still magic as she captures the essence of each of the 11 ballads on this High ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!
23 view cover	Memories of You (1990) more music like this by Eubie Blake A link to 19th-century ragtime who was still at the keys 75 years after the composition of his "Charleston Rag" (1899), Eubie Blake lived on yet longer thanks to his piano-roll recordings, including the 15 heard here. Most date from the 1910s -- though they've often been replayed for subsequently updated masterings -- and reflect one of the most ... see all copies from $10.66! new only from $10.66!
24 view cover	The Lionel Hampton Story (2001) more music like this by Lionel Hampton see all copies from $14.69! new only from $17.59!
25 view cover	The Butch Thompson Trio Plays Favorites (1992) more music like this by Butch Thompson Pianist Butch Thompson has been quite consistent in his recording career, sticking to his vision of creatively interpreting pre swing New Orleans and Chicago jazz within the tradition. While most of his sets feature some obscurities, this CD with his trio (which also includes bassist Robbie Schlosser and the colorful drummer Hal Smith) sticks to ... see all copies from $13.89! new only from $13.89!
