1	Miles Ahead (1957) more music like this by Miles Davis This album is perhaps most significant for the process it set in motion -- the collaboration between Gil Evans and Miles Davis that would produce Porgy and Bess and Sketches of Spain, two of Davis' best albums. That said, this album is a miracle in itself, the result of a big gamble on the part of Columbia Records, who put together Evans and Davis ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $6.50!
2	Collection: 1947-1972 (1998) more music like this by Johnny Hartman Just where Johnny Hartman's name ends up in the pantheon of great jazzy pop singers is still left open to debate. But his talents and mastery of a lyric come to the fore on this marvelous two-CD set of tunes cherry-picked from his long, if not particularly prolific, career, leaving no doubt about his prodigious talents. Hartman went through label ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
3	Tender Trap (1999) more music like this by Janis Siegel The powerhouse Manhattan Transfer vocalist doesn't want us to think this is just another album of brilliantly arranged standards, sung to perfection. So, on the album's cover she casts herself as something of an actress with a cartoon rendering of her in an evening gown, labeling things "The Tender Trap by Janis Siegel" -- with the tag line ... see all copies from $7.76! new only from $15.00!
4	The Very Thought of You: Decca Recordings 1951-57 (1999) more music like this by Jeri Southern Whether Jeri Southern was a jazz singer or simply a jazz-influenced pop singer has been debated. To be sure, many of her '50s recordings were heavily arranged and devoid of improvisation -- and if you believe that improvisation is a key element of jazz, you have to believe that much of her output was essentially pop. But however you categorize her ... see all copies from $13.13! new only from $13.71!
5	Love Songs (1999) more music like this by Miles Davis Nine examples of Miles Davis caressing a ballad at a slow tempo are included on this 1999 CD, Love Songs. All of the music is easily available elsewhere, but it is interesting to hear the different approaches that the trumpeter could employ in sticking close to a lyrical melody. There are two numbers ("My Ship" and "I Loves You, Porgy") from Davis ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $5.33!
6	Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux (1991) more music like this by Miles Davis/Quincy Jones Although Miles Davis did not live to participate in Gerry Mulligan's reunion recordings featuring the nonet that played on the famous late-'40s and early-'50s cool sessions, he participated in a reunion concert held at Montreux in 1991. This featured both the Gil Evans Orchestra and George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band, plus additional guests Benny ... see all copies from $4.22! new only from $15.87!
7	Now Dig This! (1997) more music like this by Dennis Rowland Singer Dennis Rowland pays tribute to Miles Davis on this interesting set. With Wallace Roney or Sal Marquez filling in for Miles and contributing short trumpet solos, Terry Harrington getting a few spots on tenor, and an excellent rhythm section helping out (pianist Joe Sample, bassist Chuck Berghofer and drummer Gregg Field), Rowland performs ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.44!
8	My Foolish Heart (1992) more music like this by Liz Story see all copies from $3.75!
9	Rendezvous (1997) more music like this by Jacky Terrasson & Cassandra Wilson For this notable set, pianist Jacky Terrasson teams up with the smoky, chance-taking vocalist Cassandra Wilson, either Lonnie Plaxico or Kenny Davis on bass and percussionist Mino Cinelu. The music is quite impressionistic and atmospheric. Terrasson and Wilson stick to standards, but their renditions of such songs as "Old Devil Moon," "My Ship," ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.25!
10	Warm & Tender (1993) more music like this by Charlie Watts see all copies from $1.99! new only from $88.83!
11 view cover	Midnight Moods (1970) more music like this by Mark Murphy see all copies from $15.20! new only from $15.20!
12 view cover	Kurt Weill in America (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Kurt Weill in America is a studio recording recreating a concert of the same name staged as part of the "Lyrics and Lyricists" series at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan; the artistic director of the show was nightclub singer Andrea Marcovicci, and the album is released by her Andreasong record label. Of course, Kurt Weill was a composer, not a ... see all copies from $15.67! new only from $15.67!
13 view cover	Lena: A New Album (2007) more music like this by Lena Horne see all copies from $5.00! new only from $20.85!
14 view cover	Wonderland of Sound - Broadway's Greatest Hits/Plays the Hits from Funny Girl, Finian's (2005) more music like this by André Kostelanetz see all copies from $11.36! new only from $12.15!
15 view cover	On Stage and in the Movies (1967) more music like this by Dionne Warwick A nice collection of show tunes and movie songs, one of her best non-greatest-hits or anthology albums. Warwick's brand of sophisticated, soft pop/soul translated well to the stage and film song arena, even if she didn't always get quality numbers. But these songs were expertly chosen and brilliantly performed. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.24! new only from $11.80!
16 view cover	No More Blues (2004) more music like this by Johanna Grüssner see all copies from $14.57! new only from $14.57!
17 view cover	My Ship (1974) more music like this by George Shearing This solo piano set by George Shearing (which has been reissued on CD through Polygram) is quite eccentric and unpredictable. Freed from the constraints of his popular Quintet, Shearing lets his imagination loose on songs that include "My Ship," "Happy Days Are Here Again," "The Entertainer" (which is turned into jazz after a rag beginning), ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $6.55!
18 view cover	One for Dewey (1992) more music like this by Sal Marquez see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
19 view cover	Jazz at Midnight, Vol. 2 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The second volume in RCA's Jazz at Midnight series continues in the mood of its predecessor, compiling 14 smooth, sultry tracks designed for romantic, after-hours listening. Despite the rather shallow designs of the disc, it offers a number of quality performances, among them Duke Ellington's "Isfahan," Gerry Mulligan's "My Funny Valentine," Sonny ... see all copies from $3.89!
20 view cover	The Erteguns' New York Cabaret (1987) more music like this by Various Artists Once upon a time (roughly the early 50s), in a faraway land (Manhattan), there lived a group of singers, piano players, and other musicians and a fascinated audience that crowded into dozens of little clubs to hear them sing and play some of the best songs ever written. Most of them are gone now, but the music lives on in this six-record boxed set ... see all copies from $100.00!
21 view cover	Move Over Darling (1997) more music like this by Doris Day Doris Day was not only among the most prodigiously talented singers of the 20th century, but among the most resilient -- that's the only way to explain the worth of this eight-CD set, which encompasses Day's output 20 years after her initial breakthrough to pop stardom. She was obviously no longer on the cutting edge of music in 1960, the year ... see all copies from $20.32! new only from $252.12!
22 view cover	The Voice That Is! (1964) more music like this by Johnny Hartman Ballad singer Johnny Hartman's third and final Impulse session is not quite on the same level as the first two. Although the earlier of the two sessions has several near-classic performances (including "My Ship," "Waltz for Debby," and "It Never Entered My Mind"), the second date has weaker material, primarily several songs from movies or shows, ... see all copies from $9.60! new only from $13.91!
23 view cover	Stripling Now! (1999) more music like this by Byron Stripling For many years Stripling has been a lead trumpeter for the Count Basie, Woody Herman and Lionel Hampton big bands, so it's about time he led his own session. He's got a talented back-up trio with emerging pianist Bill Charlap, who is an enormous asset on this CD all the way through, solid bassist Peter Washington, and Basie drummer Dennis Mackrel. ... see all copies from $12.94! new only from $14.85!
24 view cover	An Evening with Earl Hines (1973) more music like this by Earl Hines This double LP is valuable as documentation of Earl Hines and his band on a typical gig in 1973. Marva Josie has a few vocals and Tiny Grimes contributes some guitar solos but the leader/pianist is easily the main star, romping on such tunes as "Perdido," "Boogie Woogie on the St. Louis Blues" and "Lester Leaps In." Swinging (if not essential) ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
25 view cover	My Ship (1975) more music like this by Anita O'Day One in a string of six albums that jazz vocalist Anita O'Day made while performing in Japan during the mid-'70s. These were done as she was returning to the stage after a bout with drugs and alcohol. This was also issued on her own label. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.11! new only from $15.11!
