1	Songs for Swingin' Lovers! (1955) more music like this by Frank Sinatra After the ballad-heavy In the Wee Small Hours, Frank Sinatra and Nelson Riddle returned to up-tempo, swing material with Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, arguably the vocalist's greatest swing set. Like Sinatra's previous Capitol albums, Songs for Swingin' Lovers! consists of reinterpreted pop standards, ranging from the ten-year-old "You Make Me Feel ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $10.04!
2	Mandy Patinkin (1989) more music like this by Mandy Patinkin Patinkin has reserves of emotion that seem boundless on this tour de force collection mainly given over to show songs. Employing a vocal range that begins in a clear high tenor and plunges to a gruff baritone, Patinkin is able to act and sing duets with himself or sing beautifully alone. But feeling -- sometimes overflowing feeling -- is the core ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.75!
3	Jump, Jive an' Wail: The Essential (2007) more music like this by Louis Prima Louis Prima had been leading orchestras for 25 years when, in 1954, he finally got something that turned out to be the biggest break of his career: a late-night lounge act at the Sahara Hotel. It certainly wasn't a coveted gig, but it soon became the hottest ticket in town, with a dynamite stage show that featured Prima, the combination fireplug ... see all copies from $11.31! new only from $11.31!
4	Sinatra-Basie (1962) more music like this by Frank Sinatra The long-awaited first collaboration between two icons, Count Basie and Frank Sinatra, did something unique for the reputations of both. For Basie, the Sinatra connection inaugurated a period in the '60s where his band was more popular and better-known than it ever was, even in the big-band era. For Sinatra, Basie meant liberation, producing ... see all copies from $8.00!
5	Sentimental Journey: Hits from the Second World War (2007) more music like this by Various Artists This 20-track companion disc to the Ken Burns' PBS documentary The War provides a brief glimpse into the swing and pop music synonymous with World War II. Attempting to choose 20 songs for a single disc that are beloved by those who lived through that era, while also trying to sustain the curiosity of those who didn't, is a lofty goal. As it turns ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $9.72!
6	King of the Tenors (1953) more music like this by Ben Webster This 1953 date matched Webster with such peers as alto saxophonist Benny Carter, trumpeter Harry Edison, and pianist Oscar Peterson for a series of elegant yet soulful and exuberant small group dates. With no cut longer than four and a half minutes, the players didn't have time for excess statements or overkill; they had to quickly get to the ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
7	The War: A Ken Burns Film [Deluxe Edition] (2007) more music like this by Original TV Soundtrack The War, directed by Ken Burns, was a seven-part documentary series broadcast on PBS television in 2007, focusing on the experiences of American soldiers in World War II. Much popular music of the period was heard on the soundtrack, as was some music specifically composed and recorded for use in the film. This four-CD set, with the full title The ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $20.89!
8	Lady Day: The Master Takes and Singles (2007) more music like this by Billie Holiday Billie Holiday's story is so huge, her artistry so vast, and her impact so incalculable, that even attempting to corral a representative sampling of it within a single collection of recordings is an overwhelming, perhaps foolhardy task. Many have tried, of course, and literally hundreds of options of varying quality and legitimacy, scattered ... see all copies from $24.07! new only from $42.74!
9	Very Thought of You (2007) more music like this by Emilie-Claire Barlow see all copies from $23.30! new only from $23.30!

11 view cover	Mosaic Select: Bob Brookmeyer (2004) more music like this by Bob Brookmeyer The Bob Brookmeyer volume in the Mosaic Select series is one of the more enlightening issues in that it not only includes his little-known debut quartet sides for Pacific Jazz in 1954, featuring Red Mitchell, but more importantly, brings back into print his classic Traditionalism Revisited, Street Swingers, and Kansas City Revisited albums from ... see all copies from $48.03! new only from $48.03!
12 view cover	I Just Wanted to Hear the Words (2004) more music like this by Danny Aiello Given the track record of actors-turned-singers, it's easy to be suspicious that Danny Aiello's 2004 album I Just Wanted to Hear the Words is nothing but a vanity project, which he himself admits in the liner notes. But in those very liner notes he argues against that idea, claiming that he's been singing for years, long before he became an actor, ... see all copies from $8.60! new only from $8.60!

18 view cover	The Ultimate Collection [Verve] (2000) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Covering over 50 years of Louis Armstrong's career, this three-CD set from the Verve archives starts in the juke joints and speakeasies of the '20s and ends up documenting his pop hits of the '60s. Chronicling the achievements of a prolific and diverse performer of Anderson's caliber is difficult, but this release gives a strong, broad overview of ... see all copies from $19.28! new only from $19.28!

22 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 19 (1994) more music like this by Dinah Washington Dinah Washington's Verve Jazz Masters, Vol. 19 may not be a definitive overview of her time at the label, but it's nevertheless a good 16-track sampler, containing excellent versions of such songs as "What a Difference a Day Makes," "Please Send Me Someone to Love," "Cold, Cold Heart," "This Can't Be Love," "A Foggy Day," "Pennies from Heaven," ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.00!

24 view cover	Hear No Evil (2000) more music like this by The Jon Jarvis Trio For pianist Jarvis' second CD, he employs a drummerless trio with bassist Bob Nieske and guitarist Anthony Weller. Jarvis has a predilection for Oscar Peterson-like antics, filling every measure with as many notes as possible. Weller isn't quite as busy, and Nieske is as dependable a bassist as you'll find. There are originals sprinkled in here ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.02!
25 view cover	Too Marvellous for Words: The Top Fifty of His Many Greatest Hits [2002] (2002) more music like this by Bing Crosby The two-disc, 50-track collection Too Marvellous for Words boasts virtually all of Der Bingle's massive hits of the 1930s and '40s, beginning in 1931 (his first chart-topper, "Out of Nowhere") and ending in 1948 (his last, "Now Is the Hour"). And though producer Geoff Milne ignores the usual standby for compilation track listings (straight ... see all copies from $10.97! new only from $14.47!
