1	Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads (1992) more music like this by Jimmy Buffett Most listeners will be satisfied with the excellent Jimmy Buffett summary Songs You Know By Heart, but anyone that wants to dig deeper should bypass the albums (there are several that are first-rate, yet many are spotty) and pick up the four-disc, 72-track box set, Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads. Assembled thematically, with each disc devoted to ... see all copies from $22.00! new only from $36.44!
2	Renee Olstead (2004) more music like this by Reneé Olstead Back in 2002, producer David Foster oversaw the debut disc of a young jazz/pop singer named Michael Bublé. With his handsome looks and Sinatra-like voice, Bublé quickly saw his star begin to rise and the success of his disc kicked off a mini-revival of old standards and big band singers. Striking while the iron was hot, Foster fed the flame by ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
3	Somewhere Over China (1982) more music like this by Jimmy Buffett Perhaps inevitably, Jimmy Buffett begins to descend from self-satisfaction to self-pity on tracks like "Where's the Party" and "I Heard I Was in Town." Here and on such tracks as "If I Could Just Get It on Paper," it's apparent that the fast life is losing its charm for the singer. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.49! new only from $8.66!
4	Written in the Stars (2000) more music like this by Bill Charlap Trio This is the sort of album that gives the mainstream a good name. It's wonderfully recorded, especially at the low end of the spectrum: Peter Washington's bass and Kenny Washington's kick drum speak with authority yet never overwhelm Charlap's piano. The trio's approach is distinctive, marked by tight and fairly elaborate arrangements, thrilling ... see all copies from $5.59! new only from $14.97!
5	Sonny Rollins with the Modern Jazz Quartet (1951) more music like this by Sonny Rollins With the Modern Jazz Quartet Included here are some of Sonny Rollins' earliest sessions as a bandleader. These are among the fresh and vibrant baker's dozen of selections on Sonny Rollins With the Modern Jazz Quartet (1953). The title is a bit misleading though, since the MJQ -- with John Lewis (piano), Milt Jackson (vibes), Percy Heath (bass), and Kenny Clarke (drums) -- is ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
6	Kessel Plays Standards (1954) more music like this by Barney Kessel Guitarist Barney Kessel teams up with Bob Cooper (mostly on oboe but also doubling a bit on tenor), either Claude Williamson or Hampton Hawes on piano, Monty Budwig or Red Mitchell on bass, and Shelly Manne or Chuck Thompson on drums. Other than his own "64 Bars on Wilshire" and "Barney's Blues," the repertoire on this CD reissue is comprised of ... see all copies from $10.71! new only from $10.71!
7	Classic Duets (2002) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Frank Sinatra's Duets and Duets II albums were artistic disasters, a tattered way to end a long, distinguished recording career -- and the third CD of duets, Classic Duets, is an obvious attempt to latch onto their undeniable financial success, right down to the similar pastel cover art. But this collection is the real thing -- real duets sung in ... see all copies from $6.55! new only from $15.98!
8	Live at Yoshi's (2000) more music like this by Dee Dee Bridgewater 13 years after her prior in-performance release Live in Paris, Bridgewater has not so much matured or refined her approach as she has gotten bolder. This CD was recorded on what would have been her idol Ella Fitzgerald's 80th birthday weekend at Yoshi's in Oakland, CA. She scats in the style of Fitzgerald on most of these numbers -- not quite in ... see all copies from $5.06!
9	Collection [Import] (1998) more music like this by Cleo Laine see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!
10	Collection (1998) more music like this by Liza Minnelli Spectrum Music, the British reissue division of PolyGram Records, had only four Liza Minnelli albums to draw upon in assembling its compilation, The Collection. Those albums -- Liza Minnelli (1968), Come Saturday Morning (1970), New Feelin' (1970), and Live at the Olympia in Paris (1972) -- cover Minnelli's tenure at A&M Records, since acquired by ... see all copies from $6.12! new only from $6.12!
11	The Complete Prestige Recordings (1949) more music like this by Sonny Rollins This seven-CD box set lives up to its title, reissuing in chronological order all of tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' recordings for Prestige. Dating mostly from 1951-1956, these valuable performances find Rollins developing from a promising player to a potential giant; many of his best recordings would take place a year or two after this program ... see all copies from $81.62! new only from $81.62!
12	Oscar Peterson & Clark Terry (1975) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Pianist Oscar Peterson and flugelhornist Clark Terry always made for a perfect matchup. Their duet set (one of five Peterson made during this period) is quite friendly, witty and hard-swinging. C.T. generally sets the joyous mood and on numbers such as "On a Slow Boat to China," "Shaw 'Nuff," "No Flugel Blues" and "Mack the Knife," the warm-toned ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
13 view cover	Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook (2003) more music like this by Bette Midler Cabaret icon Bette Midler reunites with her old piano partner Barry Manilow for the first time in over 30 years to toast one of their mutual idols on Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook. Clooney was one of the top jazz/pop vocalists of the '50s whose clear, bright tone, impeccable melodicism, and smiling, girl-next-door image came together to make ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.49!
14 view cover	The Language of Love (2003) more music like this by Carol Welsman Carol Welsman sings an easy, airy, romantic set with hints of passion and sensuality immersed in a savory palate of impressive nuance on The Language of Love. With three Juno Award nominations as well as the 2002 Vocalist of the Year award, the internationally acclaimed vocalist and pianist is appreciated more than ever. Welsman immaculately ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $16.24!

18 view cover	Live with the Mel-Tones, Vol. 1 (1998) more music like this by Mel Tormé By the time most adult-pop listeners began hearing them, mixed-gender vocal choruses had become reprehensible white-bread smootheners and straighteners of every glorious imperfection and interpretation a solo vocalist could conjure. Before the '50s, though, the best vocal choruses were capable of tremendous harmonies, and the Mel-Tones were ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $22.84!

20 view cover	The Best of Kay Kyser & His Orchestra (1999) more music like this by Kay Kyser & His Orchestra In 1999, mail-order company Collectors' Choice Music licensed from Sony Music the two-disc/tape, 36-track The Best of Kay Kyser & His Orchestra, the most extensive compilation of Kyser's recordings ever released and, with prices upon release of about $25 for the CDs and $20 for the tapes, at a reasonable cost. Though Kyser led one of the ten most ... see all copies from $19.73! new only from $19.73!

23 view cover	Songs from the Girl Singer: A Musical Autobiography (1999) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Rather than rely solely upon its back catalog as usual, Concord has gone the extra mile to make this Clooney career survey a must-buy, raiding the archives of various labels and the singer's own collection for a really valuable two-CD retrospective. Virtually all of the early stuff, where she emerges as a major pop hitmaker from Mitch Miller's ... see all copies from $7.80! new only from $23.44!

25 view cover	Four Lads Sing Frank Loesser (2001) more music like this by The Four Lads Four Lads Sing Frank Loesser was originally issued in 1957 on Columbia and had been out of print until being reissued in 2001 on Collectables. This pleasant vocal set features standards, many in medley form, by Frank Loesser (along with two co-written seperately by Jule Styne and Hoagy Carmichael), including "Guys and Dolls Medley," "Where's ... see all copies from $12.15! new only from $12.15!
