1	Live in Concert 2006 (2007) more music like this by Barbra Streisand see all copies from $4.07! new only from $22.14!
2	Live and Swingin': The Ultimate Rat Pack Collection [CD & DVD] (2003) more music like this by The Rat Pack As a double-dose audiovisual document of the Rat Pack, this two-disc package -- one a CD, one a DVD -- more than lives up to its title. Disc one is an audio-only CD culled from performances given by Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis, Jr. at a Chicago nightclub between November 26 and December 2, 1962, over half of which is previously ... see all copies from $18.05! new only from $18.05!
3	Live at the Village Vanguard (2007) more music like this by Bill Charlap Trio Some 13 years into his recording career, jazz pianist extraordinaire Bill Charlap's first live album is, perhaps, his most exquisite release to date. While virtually all of his studio albums more than adequately showcase Charlap's virtuosity, good taste, and ceaseless imagination at the keys, it took the spontaneity of the live performance -- at ... see all copies from $9.76! new only from $9.76!
4	Trilogy (1979) more music like this by Frank Sinatra By the time the triple-record set Trilogy was released, Frank Sinatra had become somewhat of a recluse from the recording studio. An audacious, ambitious way to stage a comeback, each of the album's three records was conceived as an individual work, and each was arranged by one of Sinatra's major collaborators -- Billy May (The Past), Don Costa ... see all copies from $24.10!
5	Hollywood: My Way (1963) more music like this by Nancy Wilson Like one of her biggest selling CDs Yesterdays Love Songs/Tomorrow's Blues, Hollywood My Way is filled with strong material, fine arrangements, and more than enough evidence of Wilson's considerable and elegant vocal talents. One thing the Hollywood My Way doesn't have, though, is a big hit like Yesterday's Love Song's "Guess Who I Saw Today" and ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $12.89!
6	Yours (2005) more music like this by Sara Gazarek When an older jazz singer warns a younger jazz singer that vocal jazz is an extremely crowded, brutally competitive field, it isn't just rhetoric -- vocal jazz (like just about any other area of music) has a lot more applicants than openings or opportunities. Therefore, aspiring young jazz singers need to do everything possible to stand out and ... see all copies from $12.83! new only from $12.83!
7	Sings Arlen & Berlin (2002) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney This two-fer collects a pair of Rosemary Clooney's songbook tributes from the early '80s, recorded for the Concord label. Each of them gives her the opportunity to interpret the music of a great composer with a superior sextet that features cornetist Warren Vache, tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, and guitarist Ed Bickert. Clooney sounds very ... see all copies from $17.06! new only from $17.06!
8	The Great American Songbook (2005) more music like this by Nancy Wilson The Great American Songbook has many top-drawer interpreters, but Nancy Wilson is rarely spoken of in the same breath as Ella Fitzgerald or Dinah Washington or Frank Sinatra or Mel Tormé. The reason lies less with her talents, which are sizeable, and more with her orientation, which fits the show tunes concept of putting the song across with ... see all copies from $22.60! new only from $22.60!
9	The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings (1959) more music like this by John Coltrane The Heavyweight Champion is a box set that lives up to its title. Collecting all of John Coltrane's Atlantic recordings, including a fair number of unreleased takes as well as an entire disc of alternate tracks and studio chatter, the seven-disc box set documents a pivotal moment in Coltrane's career, as he was moving from hard bop and sweet ... see all copies from $86.64! new only from $86.64!
10	Rat Pack: From Vegas to St. Louis (2002) more music like this by Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin/Sammy Davis Jr. see all copies from $15.29! new only from $20.31!
11 view cover	Sings the Harold Arlen Song Book (1960) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Ella Fitzgerald's idea to sing the songbooks of major writers proved smart, savvy, and artful. By the time she began to record Sings the Harold Arlen Song Book in 1960, she had sung the songbooks of Duke Ellington, Rodgers & Hart, and Irving Berlin. This relaxed and tastefully arranged set showcases Fitzgerald in her prime, confidently engaging 28 ... see all copies from $32.87! new only from $32.87!
12 view cover	The Music of Harold Arlen (1998) more music like this by Harold Arlen see all copies from $13.94! new only from $13.94!
13 view cover	The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this by Sammy Davis, Jr. Sammy Davis, Jr. was an outsized talent. Whether dancing or singing or acting (or drumming, or doing impersonations), he spent more energy, carried more emotion, and involved himself more deeply in his performances than any other artist of his caliber. His earliest hit material -- "Something's Gotta Give," "Love Me or Leave Me," "That Old Black ... see all copies from $8.80! new only from $8.80!
14 view cover	Our Shining Hour (1965) more music like this by Sammy Davis, Jr. & Count Basie This is one of popular entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr's best jazz-oriented albums. The CD reissue features Davis with the Count Basie Orchestra performing arrangements by Quincy Jones. Unfortunately, the personnel of the Basie band is not given, but the orchestra mostly acts as a prop behind Davis much of the time anyway. The singer is heard in top ... see all copies from $14.01! new only from $14.01!
15 view cover	Bring Back Romance (1994) more music like this by Ann Hampton Callaway If, as they say, "variety is the spice of life," Ann Hampton Callaway's second album forDRG is especially piquant. On a program of 14 numbers, including five she composed, Callaway brings a flock of people into the studio. There are three arrangers, including the eminent composer Richard Rodney Bennett, four different piano players, and at least ... see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!
16 view cover	Out of This World [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Maureen McGovern see all copies from $14.37! new only from $14.37!
17 view cover	Quiet Thing (2003) more music like this by David Daniels/Craig Ogden Acclaimed countertenor David Daniels offers up an interestingly mixed bag of material on this recital disc, on which he is accompanied solely by classical guitarist Craig Ogden. The program features such predictable fare as Renaissance countertenor songs by John Dowland (the gorgeous warhorses "Come Again, My Love" and "Flow, My Tears"), a handful ... see all copies from $5.07! new only from $15.11!
18 view cover	Never Make Your Move Too Soon (1980) more music like this by Ernestine Anderson The title cut of this near-classic album became a sort of theme song for Ernestine Anderson, but it is not the only high point. The singer sounds in top form on such fine material as "As Long As I Live," a touching "Old Folks," "My Shining Hour," and "Poor Butterfly." With fine assistance from pianist Monty Alexander, bassist Ray Brown, and ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
19 view cover	Back to Back Hits (2004) more music like this by Judy Garland/Liza Minnelli see all copies from $5.72! new only from $5.72!
20 view cover	On Stage (1976) more music like this by Tal Farlow Other than a Prestige date in 1969, this was guitarist Tal Farlow's first recording in nearly 17 years. He is heard at a reunion with vibraphonist Red Norvo and matching wits with pianist Hank Jones, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jake Hanna. Recorded at the 1976 Concord Jazz Festival, this was Farlow's first of six Concord albums, and it led to a ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
21 view cover	Capitol Recordings (1998) more music like this by Jane Froman see all copies from $22.95!
22 view cover	Shaking Free (1996) more music like this by Nnenna Freelon For this excellent effort, Nnenna Freelon solidifies her position as one of the better female jazz singers of the 1990s. Her appealing voice and versatility are well displayed throughout a set that includes a 5/4 version of "Out of This World," the folk song "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair," "Birk's Works," "I Thought About You," ... see all copies from $3.20! new only from $10.80!
23 view cover	Portrait of Harold (1996) more music like this by Ralph Sharon Subtitled "The Harold Arlen Songbook," this 60-minute disc finds the Ralph Sharon Trio -- with Douglas Richeson on bass and Clayton Cameron on drums -- highlighting the work of the most jazz- and blues-oriented of the Broadway and Hollywood composers of the 1940s and '50s. Sharon is typically subtle and swinging, never losing the sense of Arlen's ... see all copies from $3.60! new only from $9.39!
24 view cover	Ventana (2006) more music like this by Kenny Karsh From the opening of Ken Karsh's debut recording as a leader, it is apparent that he has great technical skill and the ability to swing. Assisted by a wide-ranging supporting cast of musicians (the best known of which is bassist Dwayne Dolphin), Karsh touches on many different styles. The boppish interpretation of Duke Ellington's "Just Squeeze Me" ... see all copies from $14.41! new only from $14.41!
25 view cover	Songs from Within (1989) more music like this by Sheila Jordan Sheila Jordan is one of the few singers to record duets frequently with just a string bass, usually Harvie Swartz. Jordan and Swartz interpret a wide variety of standards on their CD along with two originals. Although the always-inventive singer is clearly the lead voice, Swartz is not restricted to merely an accompanying role; he often shares ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $15.86!
