1	The Best of Chet Baker Sings (1953) more music like this by Chet Baker To much of the pop (as opposed to the jazz) audience, Chet Baker was known not as an able cool jazz trumpeter, but as a romantic balladeer. The two classifications were not mutually exclusive; Baker's vocal numbers would also feature his trumpet playing, as well as fine instrumental support from West Coast cool jazzers. For those who prefer the ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $9.62!
2	Standards & Ballads (2007) more music like this by Wynton Marsalis see all copies from $10.20! new only from $12.69!
3	Music Maestro Please (2007) more music like this by Freddy Cole & the Bill Charlap Trio Jazz singer Freddy Cole has accompanied himself on piano for decades, but here he turns that task over to the quite able Bill Charlap on a program of well-worn standards and a handful of lesser-known tunes. Cole's sweet, soulful, robust voice has held him in good stead over the years, and continues to retain that refined, aged yet timeless texture ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
4	Jazz for a Rainy Afternoon [32 Jazz] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This sampler CD has 11 ballads taken from the Muse catalog that the 32 Jazz label acquired in the mid-1990s. Unfortunately, the liner notes are sparse and the recording dates are not given, although the personnel are listed; the music dates primarily from the 1970s and '80s. Featured on a selection apiece are Charles Brown on an instrumental solo ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $8.51!
5	Songs for Lovers (1997) more music like this by Chet Baker Although it is not obvious from the cover of this 1997 CD, all twelve selections from Chet Baker's Pacific Jazz period are currently available elsewhere (although a few are only on Mosaic limited-edition box sets). The material is almost random and is not programmed in chronological order. Baker takes vocals on five numbers, including three from a ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $11.13!
6	Slow Drag (1967) more music like this by Donald Byrd Slow Drag was one of trumpeter Donald Byrd's final hard bop dates. Teamed with altoist Sonny Red, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Walter Booker and drummer Billy Higgins (who takes a surprise vocal on the title cut), this quintet outing features originals by Byrd, Walton and Red along with the standards "Secret Love" and "My Ideal." The music in ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
7	Moonglow (2005) more music like this by Bucky Pizzarelli/Frank Vignola Two of the modern masters of jazz guitar, Bucky Pizzarelli and Frank Vignola are a generation apart in age but of the same mind when it comes to their style of playing. Both lovers of memorable melodies, Pizzarelli has long favored a seven-string electric guitar and primarily sticks to playing inventive rhythm accompaniment behind Vignola's bright ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
8	Fearless Leader [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by John Coltrane In the spring of 1957, when he signed with Bob Weinstock's Prestige Records, John Coltrane was still a relative newcomer to the national jazz scene. He wasn't, at age 30, a youngster by any means, and he had already been playing professionally for more than a dozen years, but most of that had been as a sideman and he was known primarily to ... see all copies from $52.57! new only from $52.57!
9	Really Big! [Bonus Track] (2007) more music like this by Jimmy Heath Jimmy Heath's first chance to lead a fairly large group, an all-star ten-piece, found him well featured both on tenor and as an arranger/composer. With such colorful players as cornetist Nat Adderley, flugelhornist Clark Terry, altoist Cannonball Adderley, and either Cedar Walton or Tommy Flanagan on piano, Heath introduces a few originals ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
10	Think of One (1983) more music like this by Wynton Marsalis In his early years after leaving Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Wynton Marsalis strode forth with this excellent recording, his second as a leader, done in tandem with brother Branford, also out of Blakey's herd. The combination of the two siblings created quite a buzz in the music community, and this recording, which may stand the test of time as ... see all copies from $2.90! new only from $9.29!
11 view cover	Nicky's Jazz Lullabies (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
12 view cover	Music, Martinis, and Memories (195?) more music like this by Jackie Gleason The arrangements on Music, Martinis, and Memories are really very simple: massed violins play the melody while Bobby Hackett's trumpet flits around the edges, or sometimes Hackett takes the lead over a bed of swelling strings. The music sets a romantic mood, but compared to the arrangements of Percy Faith or Les Baxter, Gleason is plain vanilla. ... see all copies from $1.99!
13 view cover	Chet Baker Sings (1956) more music like this by Chet Baker As Gerald Heard's liner notes point out, it's difficult to decide whether Chet Baker was a trumpet player who sang or a singer who played trumpet. When the 24-year-old California-based trumpeter started his vocal career in 1954, his singing was revolutionary; as delicate and clear as his trumpet playing, with a similarly bright and vibrato-free ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
14 view cover	The Definitive Dinah Washington (2002) more music like this by Dinah Washington This 20-track compilation released as a joint venture by Verve and Blue Note, covers a lot of ground -- from 1943 to 1962 -- but then, so did Dinah Washington. She sang down and dirty blues, lush ballads, romantic standards, sophisticated R&B, swinging jazz, and even country, and this disc gives a taste of each style. Her earliest recordings were ... see all copies from $6.30! new only from $6.30!
15 view cover	A Jazz Romance: A Night in With Verve (2001) more music like this by Various Artists In jazz, ballads have a way of separating the men from the boys and the women from the girls. They show what an improviser is made of emotionally. On ballads, technique for the sake of technique doesn't cut it -- you have to bring some genuine feeling and honest-to-God emotion to the table. And there is plenty of honest-to-God emotion on this four ... see all copies from $24.87! new only from $24.87!
16 view cover	Duets (2005) more music like this by Toninho Horta/Nicola Stilo see all copies from $14.60! new only from $14.60!
17 view cover	The Duo Sessions (2000) more music like this by Ray Brown & Jimmy Rowles Two classic and influential releases by bassist Ray Brown and pianist Jimmy Rowles comprise this box set reissued as The Duo Sessions. The set includes As Good as It Gets originally released in 1978 and Tasty, which was originally released in 1980. The duo plays songs from the Great American Songbooks of Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, George ... see all copies from $12.16! new only from $12.16!
18 view cover	The Bebop Years (2001) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins Covering a period from 1939-1949, The Bebop Years profiles Hawkins during the days of combo swing and bebop. That the tenor great sounds at home in both settings here is testament to his great flexibility and intellect as a player. Proper pays its respects with four discs and a lavish booklet sporting a detailed discography, extensive notes, and ... see all copies from $23.63! new only from $23.63!
19 view cover	Tawny/Music, Martinis and Memories (2000) more music like this by Jackie Gleason Tawny/Music, Martinis & Memories collects two of Jackie Gleason's mood music albums onto one CD. The five-song Tawny EP includes lush, orchestral renditions of "Girl, Boy, Dance, Affair," "Some Day," and "If I Had You," while Music, Martinis & Memories features "The Song Is Ended," "I Remember You," and "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good." As with ... see all copies from $15.07! new only from $15.07!
20 view cover	You're My Girl (1996) more music like this by The Norman Luboff Choir see all copies from $9.23!
21 view cover	Quiet Kenny (1959) more music like this by Kenny Dorham In the liner notes of Quiet Kenny, former Downbeat magazine publisher Jack Maher states that trumpeter Kenny Dorham's music is not necessarily the demure, balladic, rapturous jazz one might associate as romantic or tranquil. Cool and understated might be better watchwords for what the ultra-melodic Dorham achieves on this undeniably well crafted ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $5.49!
22 view cover	Here's to the Ladies (1995) more music like this by Tony Bennett For years, it was rumored that Frank Sinatra was going to record an album called Here's to the Ladies, but the Chairman of the Board never got around to actually making the record. However, Tony Bennett did and his record covers a wider range of artists and styles than Sinatra's scheduled record. Naturally, Bennett turns in a thoroughly ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.65!
23 view cover	Bahia (1957) more music like this by John Coltrane with Red Garland and Paul Chambers Bahia is two-LP set that matches together the very different sounding tenors of John Coltrane and Paul Quinichette in a jam-session type setting from 1957 (although three of the five songs were actually composed by pianist Mal Waldron) in addition to Coltrane's final Prestige date, which also has appearances by the trumpeters Freddie Hubbard (on ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $6.95!
24 view cover	Army Air Force Band (2001) more music like this by Glenn Miller & the Army Air Force Band In 1956, RCA Victor released an ambitious, if imperfect, five-LP set that focused on U.S. performances by Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band; all of the material, which spanned July 1943-June 1944, was recorded before the orchestra moved to England. That five-LP set drove Miller's hardcore fans wild; they were thrilled to get their hands on a lot ... see all copies from $12.87! new only from $40.00!
25 view cover	Plays for the Cocktail Hour (1998) more music like this by Page Cavanaugh Pianist-singer Page Cavanaugh came to fame during the second half of the 1940s with his trio which emulated to an extent the Nat King Trio, but put a greater emphasis on group vocals. This particular album is from around a decade later (the 1955 date is an estimate), when Cavanaugh was leading a quartet also including guitarist Rod Leftwich, ... see all copies from $5.81!
