1	The Best of the Songbooks (1993) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Simply a grand and eloquent performance put together by Verve records highlighting the best years of Ella Fitzgerald -- that sassy, charming legendary singer in jazz. The Best of the Songbooks features a captivating lineup of some of jazz's greatest composers and arrangers. It is here that Fitzgerald records and sings songs of Cole Porter, Richard ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $10.29!
2	Digital Works (1985) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal Ahmad Jamal was never as distinctive on electric piano as he was on the acoustic counterpart, making this two-LP set, Digital Works, (which finds him doubling) a slight disappointment. Jamal does play well throughout, engaging his sidemen (bassist Larry Ball, drummer Herlin Riley, and percussionist Iraj Lashkaryl) in close interplay, but no new ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.28!
3	Modern Life (1995) more music like this by Brian Culbertson The jazz world keeps so busy talking about the young lions on the straight-ahead side, it's easy to overlook the enormous potential of contemporary wunderkinds like keyboard whiz Brian Culbertson. The Chicago native's Long Night Out was one of last year's radio smashes, but he reaches even deeper into his vast melodic artistry for a unique ... see all copies from $9.20! new only from $9.20!
4	Lush Life (1967) more music like this by Nancy Wilson Nancy Wilson was one of the few jazz-based pop singers of the 1960s who was able to navigate that decade's rock & roll-crazed waters and stay on top of the single and album charts. While her natural physical beauty certainly didn't hurt her career, it was probably her honest feel for soul and the blues, as well as jazz, that had her riding high ... see all copies from $4.94! new only from $11.13!
5	Something Cool (1953) more music like this by June Christy June Christy's classic Something Cool has been expanded from 11 songs to 24 on this essential CD with two unreleased cuts and six songs only previously out as singles. Christy's attractive "cool" tone was a trademark of jazz in the 1950s, her version of "Something Cool" remains a classic, and many of the other numbers are nearly as memorable. ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $21.99!
6	At Newport (1957) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Holiday Ella Fitzgerald & Billie Holiday at Newport presents the naturally intriguing results when Verve paired two sets recorded two days apart (over the 4th of July weekend, 1957) by the two best female singers of the 20th century. Unfortunately, circumstances weren't in their favor, as the combined factors of an unsympathetic band (for Fitzgerald) and ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $10.29!
7	Like Someone in Love (1957) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Ella Fitzgerald was accompanied by an orchestra arranged by Frank DeVol for this fine studio session; the CD reissue has been augmented by four selections recorded a month later. Most of the songs are veteran standards, Stan Getz's warm tenor helps out on four tunes, and -- although this is not an essential release -- her voice was so strong and ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.44!
8	Accentuate the Positive (2004) more music like this by Al Jarreau Although centered around songs from the 1940s, Al Jarreau's Accentuate the Positive is another stellar modern jazz album that continues the winning streak he began with his 2000 comeback, Tomorrow Today. Similar to his previous effort, the R&B-infused All I Got, the album features classy production from Tommy LiPuma and a natty cast of backing ... see all copies from $4.89! new only from $16.81!
9	American Song (2004) more music like this by Andy Bey The legendary singer's connections to the golden age of bebop -- he performed from the '50s on with legends like Horace Silver, Eddie Harris, Max Roach, and McCoy Tyner -- definitely inform his subtle, low-key approach to the easy-breathing, sensitive arrangements of numerous classics here. The sticker on the album reminds listeners that he was ... see all copies from $6.29! new only from $8.50!
10	Swingin' for Schuur (2001) more music like this by Diane Schuur & Maynard Ferguson Well regarded as one of our greatest living jazz singers, Schuur seems to enjoy album titles created out of puns of her name -- prior to this there was Friends for Schuur -- but don't let the novelties distract you from this sassy, explosively brassy swing project blending her inventive vocals with Ferguson's blistering trumpet and the ensemble ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $10.29!
11 view cover	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 $5.92! new only from $5.92!
12 view cover	How Long Has This Been Going On? (1978) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan This CD reissue features the great Sarah Vaughan in a typically spontaneous Norman Granz Pablo production with pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Louie Bellson. Sassy sounds wonderful stretching out on such songs as "Midnight Sun," "More Than You Know," "Teach Me Tonight," and "Body and Soul," among others. ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $12.20!
13 view cover	Sings the Johnny Mercer Song Book (1964) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Along with her Rodgers and Hart collection, this is one of the best of Ella Fitzgerald's songbooks. Fitzgerald's assured and elegant voice is a perfect match for Mercer's urbane lyrics and Nelson Riddle's supple arrangements. In light of this decorous setting, it's not surprising that Mercer's swagger-heavy numbers like "I Wanna Be Around" and ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $13.78!
14 view cover	The Best of Chuck Brown (2005) more music like this by Chuck Brown see all copies from $13.42! new only from $15.87!
15 view cover	The Romantic Moods of Jackie Gleason (1996) more music like this by Jackie Gleason This is a fine compilation of Jackie Gleason's output for Columbia. Gleason's objective was to make "musical wallpaper" that should never be intrusive, but rather conducive. He was not musically literate, but never had a problem articulating what he wanted to hear from his orchestra. The music here is quiet, melancholy, and often somber, played at ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $23.67!
16 view cover	Mambo with Tjader (1954) more music like this by Cal Tjader Vibraphonist Cal Tjader was quickly becoming one of the most important forces in Latin jazz when he recorded the infectious music on this CD reissue. Joined by pianist Manuel Duran, bassist Carlos Duran, and a couple of percussionists, Tjader performs Latinized versions of such standards as "Cherry," "This Can't Be Love," "I'll Remember April," ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
17 view cover	Best of the Capitol Years (2002) more music like this by Les Brown & His Band of Renown By the time that Les Brown signed with Capitol Records in the mid-'50s he had already become an internationally acclaimed clarinet and sax player as well as bandleader for nearly two decades. This single CD compilation gathers over two dozen tracks cut during the brief three-year stint (1955-1958) that Brown and his Band of Renown spent recording ... see all copies from $9.61! new only from $16.37!
18 view cover	My Huckleberry Friend (1996) more music like this by Johnny Mercer Recorded in London just two years before his death, My Huckleberry Friend includes nearly an hour and half of singer Johnny Mercer updating his own compositions. The American musical giant is accompanied by the Pete Moore Orchestra and the Harry Roche Constellation. Mercer's voice is solid throughout this 25-track record that marries his Tin Pan ... see all copies from $9.43! new only from $9.43!
19 view cover	Greatest Hits (1993) more music like this by Les Brown & His Band of Renown Greatest Hits collects ten tracks recorded during Les Brown's tenure with Capitol Records in the '50s including the original versions of "Sentimental Journey," "Mexican Hat Dance," "Twilight Time," and "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm." This collection is a good bargain for the budget-conscious. Al Campbell, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.14! new only from $5.14!
20 view cover	Ella in Rome: The Birthday Concert (1958) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This concert performance finds Ella Fitzgerald celebrating her 40th birthday. A top singer for 23 years at that point, she was at the peak of her powers. Backed by her regular rhythm section (with pianist Lou Levy, bassist Max Bennett and drummer Gus Johnson), she puts on her usual show of the period, uplifting the ballads and swinging the faster ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $15.33!
21 view cover	Jo + Jazz (1960) more music like this by Jo Stafford The closest Stafford ever came to being a jazz singer. This early '60s release had instrumental touches and a jazz tone, and Stafford sang with more energy and less gimmickry. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.00! new only from $18.07!
22 view cover	Sarah Sings Soulfully (1963) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan Sarah Vaughan's final Roulette session before going back to Mercury was one of her best. Some of the tunes (such as "A Taste of Honey," "What Kind of Fool Am I" and "The Good Life") do not look all that promising but Sassy was near the peak of her powers during this era. Plus her renditions of "I Guess I'll Hang My Tears out to Dry," "Sermonette," ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
23 view cover	The Complete Concord Recordings (2002) more music like this by Mel Tormé & George Shearing Beside Marty Paich, none of Mel Tormé's collaborators exerted such a large influence on the singer's career as George Shearing, the pianist whose understated, expressive accompaniment contributed to Tormé's resurgence during the early '80s. Their six excellent albums together -- two of which, An Evening With... and Top Drawer, earned Grammy awards ... see all copies from $38.90! new only from $38.90!
24 view cover	Just One of Those Things (1999) more music like this by Lionel Hampton Verve's Just One of Those Things contains a selection of eight highlights from Lionel Hampton's sessions with Oscar Peterson between 1953 and 1954. This may be just a sampler, but it's a highly enjoyable one, since Hampton and Peterson were at the top of their form during this era. The compilers have skillfully balanced familiar selections with ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
25 view cover	Something to Live For (1999) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Ella Fitzgerald recorded so much, and so much of what she recorded was so good, that the notion of one album summing her up is all but ludicrous. That said, this two-disc set, a companion to a television documentary by the same title, comes the closest of any album so far. It is the first album to span the two most important eras of her recordings ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $27.16!
