1	Anthology (2003) more music like this by Nina Simone In appearance, this two-disc anthology would seem to be an exercise in hearse chasing, issued just months after the great singer's death. In reality, no matter what the intention of the record label, this anthology accomplishes what virtually every other attempt failed miserably to do: definitively represent all the stages of Simone's career. ... see all copies from $17.93! new only from $17.93!
2	I Put a Spell on You (1965) more music like this by Nina Simone One of her most pop-oriented albums, but also one of her best and most consistent. Most of the songs feature dramatic, swinging large-band orchestration, with the accent on the brass and strings. Simone didn't write any of the material, turning to popular European songsmiths Charles Aznavour, Jacques Brel, and Anthony Newley, as well as her ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
3	Nina Simone's Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Nina Simone Verve's Finest Hour collection of Nina Simone's work compiles 60 minutes of career highlights, including "Wild Is the Wind," "I Put a Spell on You," "Four Women," "I Loves You, Porgy," and "My Baby Just Cares for Me." Though it's by no means a definitive compilation of Simone's music, it does provide a welcome overview of her Verve years. ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $10.29!
4	A Paris... (2001) more music like this by Jacky Terrasson Jacky Terrasson's 1999 album, What It Is, represented something of a risk. The young pianist's first three albums were barebones trio affairs that had won him rave reviews, whereas What It Is featured additional instruments and was more slickly produced. Gone, it seemed, was the sparse, acoustic approach that had originally given Terrasson his ... see all copies from $4.10! new only from $7.00!
5	From Paris to Rio (1999) more music like this by Karrin Allyson Allyson gets it all together once again for this lovely selection of mostly French and Portuguese tunes, which the vocalist generally sings in the original language. While there is a lesser jazz element than in some of her other recordings, Allyson is a proven stylist who knows how to make each tune hers alone. Sometimes sounding like Susannah ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.00!
6	But One Day... (2002) more music like this by Ute Lemper Ute Lemper, who has devoted much of her recording career to resurrecting German interwar songs, particularly those of Kurt Weill, and who included such Weill successors as Nick Cave and Elvis Costello on her last album, The Punishing Kiss, here adds her own name to the songwriting credits while continuing to find ways to explore her favorite music ... see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
7	Ayeshteni (2001) more music like this by Natacha Atlas Though a native of Belgium, Natacha Atlas is of Egyptian ancestry and has been bewitching Western listeners with her melismatic Arabic vocals since the early '90s as a solo artist and a member of the worldbeat dance band Transglobal Underground. All of her solo albums have been impressive, but this one is her best so far. As always, she's helped ... see all copies from $7.02! new only from $15.02!
8	Chez Toots (1998) more music like this by Toots Thielemans On this unusual CD, the remarkable harmonica player Toots Thielemans explores a variety of mostly French melodies. The music is often nostalgic and wistful but generally swinging, with enough different tempos to hold one's interest throughout. The oddest aspect of the set is that there is an overdubbed vocal apiece by Diana Krall ("La Vie en Rose" ... see all copies from $11.80! new only from $11.80!
9	Voila [Bonus Disc] (2007) more music like this by Belinda Carlisle Belinda Carlisle's career has had several twists and turns, but none has been quite as interesting as her 2007 album Voila, a collection of luxurious covers of classic French pop tunes, all sung in French. Certainly, the very concept of the former new wave queen singing French pop qualifies as one of the more intriguing projects in her solo career ... see all copies from $9.08! new only from $14.70!
10	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!
11 view cover	Quinze Ans d'Amour (1992) more music like this by Jacques Brel This 20-track collection from PolyGram compiles every one of Jacques Brel's most popular songs, all in their most famous versions. From his first hit "Quand On N'a Que l'Amour" to early peaks like "La Valse à Mille Temps," "Les Vieux," and "Mathilde," Quinze Ans d'Amour picks the best of his early material, with only one song recorded after 1968. ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $12.95!
12 view cover	The Nina Simone Story (2003) more music like this by Nina Simone see all copies from $26.46! new only from $26.46!
13 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 17 (1964) more music like this by Nina Simone Nina Simone's inclusion in Verve's Jazz Masters series is a bit suspect; there was a lot of jazz in Simone, true, but wasn't there quite a bit of pop and soul as well, not to mention some blues? Anyway, this is an excellent survey of her mid-'60s work, with 16 tracks spanning 1964 to 1966 that find Simone at her most versatile and assured. Quite a ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $12.20!
14 view cover	Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (1989) more music like this by Nina Simone Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is a compilation assembling songs from a fruitful period in Simone's career (the mid-'60s, when she recorded for Mercury and Phillips). The exceptional track selection helps Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood stand out from the many repackages of material from this era and amply demonstrates the range of Simone's artistry. ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $17.06!
15 view cover	Casino (2002) more music like this by Violet Indiana Those who were in the know and scored the first Brit-only Violet Indiana disc, Roulette, got their first taste of former Cocteau Twin Robin Guthrie's shimmering guitarscapes and ex-Mono vocalist Siobhan De Maré's singular vocals entwining in a tragic marriage of loss, heartbreak, and obsession all wrapped in a heartbreakingly beautiful package. ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $11.13!
16 view cover	Quiet Now: Night Song (2000) more music like this by Nina Simone see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
17 view cover	Paris for Lovers (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Continuing their excellent series of ballads and slower numbers paying tribute to a city, Verve has issued this 11-song set of songs as lovely as the city being serenaded: Paris. The collection starts and finishes with tracks featuring Louis Armstrong, a surprise choice considering that Armstrong is widely recognized for his uptempo catalog and ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
18 view cover	Expression (1999) more music like this by Frida Boccara see all copies from $18.22! new only from $18.22!
19 view cover	Enregistrement Inedits (1999) more music like this by Jacques Brel see all copies from $13.14! new only from $13.14!
20 view cover	Next Brel [DRG] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists The French label Barclay Records, with which singer/songwriter Jacques Brel was associated for most of the 1960s and '70s, released a compilation of recordings of his songs in March 2004 that differs significantly from this U.S. edition. The French version of Next Brel has 15 tracks to the American 12, but that doesn't mean simply that three ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!
21 view cover	Chante Brassens et Brel, Vol. 2: 1960/1961/1962 (1992) more music like this by Barbara see all copies from $20.58! new only from $20.58!
22 view cover	Una Estrella en Mi Jardin (2005) more music like this by Mari Trini see all copies from $37.05! new only from $37.05!
23 view cover	15th Anniversary Stash Sampler (1989) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.33!
24 view cover	Ne Me Quitte Pas (1988) more music like this by Jacques Brel Much was made of Jacques Brel's decision to retire from the music industry in 1968, a resolution which, a handful of soundtrack recordings notwithstanding, he maintained until 1977, the year before his death. In fact, his silence was not as profound as is generally believed. In 1972, Barclay prevailed upon him to return to the studio to re-record ... see all copies from $16.63! new only from $16.63!
25 view cover	Chanson: The Space in Between (2000) more music like this by Barb Jungr Timeless as it is, you could have asked, justly, whether or not the new millennium really needed yet another interpretation of the Jacques Brel songbook, so often had it been attempted, both successfully and miserably, in the preceding century. Barb Jungr definitively answered that question on Chanson: The Space in Between, and she answered ... see all copies from $41.75! new only from $41.75!
