1	Late Night Jazz [Rebound] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Rebound Records, not noted for its forays into jazz, has put together an entertaining compilation of cuts from the vaults of the Verve and Mercury labels. The roster of musicians reads like a who's who of jazz from the late '40s through the '60s. A variety of jazz styles are represented as well, from the Stan Getz/João Gilberto/Astrud Gilberto ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.98!
2	50th Anniversary Collection (2003) more music like this by James Brown James Brown's two-CD 40th Anniversary Collection gathered 40 of the soul-funk giant's biggest hits, and in keeping with its title, The 50th Anniversary Collection is just that little bit bigger and better, with (could you guess?) 50 of his most famous tracks. From 1956's "Please, Please, Please" to 1988's "Static, Pts. 1 & 2," it has almost all of ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $16.57!
3	Apollo 13 (1995) more music like this by James Horner The soundtrack to director Ron Howard's 1995 blockbuster Apollo 13 effectively blends dialogue, actual audio clips from newscasts, classic songs, and portions of conductor James Horner's original score, creating a worthy aural companion. Included are songs from the period of the titular spacecraft's peril-fraught mission, such as the Young Rascals ... see all copies from $2.94! new only from $6.23!
4	Jimmy & Wes: The Dynamic Duo (1966) more music like this by Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery Creed Taylor matched two of his most famous artists, Wes Montgomery and Jimmy Smith, on this session (Montgomery's last for Verve), and the results are incendiary -- a near-ideal meeting of yin and yang. Smith comes at your throat with his big attacks and blues runs while Montgomery responds with rounder, smoother octaves and single notes that ... see all copies from $7.75! new only from $13.69!
5	Verve Jazz Masters 16 (1994) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Vol. 16 of the Verve Jazz Masters series features pianist Oscar Peterson, who recorded prolifically for them from his start in the early '50s up to the early '70s. A single CD could never do Peterson justice, but this one, featuring 15 solid tracks, is evenly balanced between trio and guitar-accented small ensembles, with three big-band tracks ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $13.78!
6	Star Time (1991) more music like this by James Brown When the four-disc Star Time box was released in 1991, James Brown's catalog sorely needed an overhaul; much of it was out of print, and what was available was hardly befitting of his magnitude. Star Time got everything right: it put Brown's hugely influential career into striking perspective, helping to complete his critical renaissance, and the ... see all copies from $44.47! new only from $46.98!
7	Gettin' to It (1994) more music like this by Christian McBride McBride had already made his name as an astounding bass sideman when he recorded his first album as a leader, which nailed him as another in the long line of mainstream-minded Young Lions. McBride would shed that tag within a few years when he brought forth his other interests, but for now he headed a series of three- to six-piece bands ... see all copies from $9.28! new only from $9.28!
8	The Best of King Curtis [Capitol #1] (1962) more music like this by King Curtis Best of King Curtis collects the bulk of King Curtis' singles for Capitol, plus selected album tracks. Although he didn't have many hits while on Capitol -- only "Soul Serenade" hit the charts -- this collection demonstrates the depths of Curtis' talents, showcasing his stabs at jazz and blues in addition to his trademark R&B. Instant Soul remains ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.11!
9	Pure Jazz [Polygram] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Though it's part of the Pure series, Verve's Pure Jazz almost seems more as part of the Ken Burns Jazz multi-disc series, especially since it was released during that documentary's airing on PBS. Any of the tie-in discs to Ken Burns Jazz were designed to give an overview, either of an artist or an entire jazz style, while Pure Jazz is designed to ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $10.26!
10	Louie Louie: The Very Best of The Kingsmen (1999) more music like this by The Kingsmen When the Kingsmen's ragged, stumbling and accidentally brilliant version of Richard Berry's "Louie Louie" broke out as a national hit in 1964, it created a three-chord stomping template for garage and frat bands everywhere, and the Kingsmen themselves never abandoned the organ-driven R&B approach that spawned the song, working the formula into ... see all copies from $9.20! new only from $9.20!
11 view cover	Swinging Sounds of Great Bands (1999) more music like this by Glen Gray And Casa Loma Orchestra see all copies from $9.38! new only from $13.74!
12 view cover	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 4: Bachelor Pad Royale (1996) more music like this by Various Artists As the title implies, the songs on this 18-song compilation were intended for bachelors who wanted to create a suitably suave atmosphere between the mid-'50s and mid-'60s. So although the music draws from jazz (both big band and cool), lounge pop, and film/TV soundtracks, it's primarily designed to set a mood or background. That means that when it ... see all copies from $9.52! new only from $9.52!
13 view cover	Uniquely Mancini (1963) more music like this by Henry Mancini see all copies from $8.00! new only from $18.29!
14 view cover	Night Train (195?) more music like this by Buddy Morrow Orchestra see all copies from $3.84! new only from $9.60!
15 view cover	The Wildest! [Expanded] (2002) more music like this by Louis Prima A veritable greatest-hits album, The Wildest! is the gem of Louis Prima's catalogue. None of his other efforts transcend its raunchy mix of demented gibberish, blaring sax, and explosive swing, which rocked as hard as anything released at the time. Almost all of Prima's signature songs are found here: "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Oh Marie, ... see all copies from $10.55! new only from $10.55!
16 view cover	Live (1992) more music like this by Boots Randolph see all copies from $4.02!
17 view cover	The Jazz Singer (1959) more music like this by Eddie Jefferson Eddie Jefferson, one of the great jazz singers and an important pioneer of vocalese, is heard in peak form on this Evidence CD which reissues an Inner City LP and adds six previously unissued selections to the program. The bulk of the music is from 1959-61 with Jefferson backed by several horns (including trumpeter Howard McGhee and tenor ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
18 view cover	Mary Jo (1998) more music like this by The Four Blazes Considering the nostalgic significance now given to even the most obscure R&B acts of the '40s and '50s, it's surprising that the Four Blazes remain virtually unknown to modern listeners. Suave, danceable, and impeccably played, many of the songs on Mary Jo are on par with the best records of the day, and the stunning sound quality belies their ... see all copies from $10.28! new only from $10.28!
19 view cover	Honkers & Bar Walkers, Vol. 1 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists This CD serves as a strong introduction to the tenor sax- (and occasional alto-) oriented R&B music of the early 1950s. It includes a few major hits (most notably Jimmy Forrest's "Night Train" and Tab Smith's ballad feature "Because of You") and six previously unissued alternate takes. Also heard from are Teddy Brannon, Cozy Eggleston, the ... see all copies from $10.26! new only from $10.26!
20 view cover	Tequila: The Very Best of the Champs [Collectables] (1998) more music like this by The Champs When it comes down to it, all of the Champs' compilations are essentially interchangeable -- a few tracks may differ, but all of the big songs (namely, "Tequila" and a handful of its spin-offs) are on each disc. And they're almost always called The Best of the Champs: Tequila, Tequila: The Very Best of the Champs, Let's Have Some Tequila!, Tequila ... see all copies from $9.20! new only from $9.20!
21 view cover	The Blues and the Beat (1995) more music like this by Henry Mancini With The Blues and the Beat, Henry Mancini delivered one of his bluesiest, jazziest records. Though it isn't an entirely successful experiment, but it has its share of delightful moments, as proved by "Mood Indigo" and "Sing, Sing, Sing." Mancini could never deliver straight jazz, but his easy, orchestrated approximations are enjoyable as their ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $32.49!
22 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of James Brown (1999) more music like this by James Brown On the almost 37-minute The Millennium Collection: The Best of James Brown, versions of "I Got You (I Feel Good" and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" show up in their most popular versions rather than the more R&B/blues-based ones that were unearthed in the '80s. In a surprise move, Brown's classic "Cold Sweat, Pts. 1 & 2" is unedited and gives a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
23 view cover	I Got You (I Feel Good) (1966) more music like this by James Brown At the start of 1966, James Brown was at his peak as a crossover star, having hit the pop Top Ten twice in a row in the last six months, first with "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," and then with his biggest-ever pop success, "I Got You (I Feel Good)." But Brown was a singles artist almost exclusively; for him, LPs simply constituted a different ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $9.00!
24 view cover	Teensville (1960) more music like this by Chet Atkins As the title indicates, Teensville is Chet Atkins' attempt to cut a record that appealed to the teenage audience weaned on rock & roll. Though he records a fair amount of rock, rockabilly, R&B, and country songs -- and the Everly Brothers, who he produced, wrote the line notes -- he never captures the raw spark of rock & roll. What shines through ... see all copies from $3.46!
25 view cover	Live at the Apollo [1963] (1963) more music like this by James Brown An astonishing record of James and the Flames tearing the roof off the sucker at the mecca of R&B theatres, New York's Apollo. When King Records owner Syd Nathan refused to fund the recording, thinking it commercial folly, Brown single-mindedly proceeded anyway, paying for it out of his own pocket. He had been out on the road night after night for ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $5.50!
