1	Sugar (1991) more music like this by Leon Redbone Leon Redbone entered the 1990s with the baker's dozen of selections on Sugar (1991), one of his best overall efforts to date. His unique and unmistakable interpretations of obscure jazz and early popular melodies are augmented by the occasional and equally singular original composition. The tunes are carefully crafted in such a way that they ably ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $8.87!

4	The Very Best of Al Jolson [Pearl] (2002) more music like this by Al Jolson While some may with good reason prefer his earliest recorded performances (a mysterious body of work comprising the true and magical heart of the Jolson legacy), Al Jolson's Decca recordings from 1945-1949 represent the mature culmination of decades spent perfecting one of the best-known acts in all of show business. Listening through 28 tracks ... see all copies from $16.13! new only from $16.13!
5	The World's Greatest Entertainer (2000) more music like this by Al Jolson After staying away from the recording studio for 13 years, Al Jolson signed to Decca Records in 1945. A year later, the label's faith was justified by Jolson's career resurgence in the wake of the success of the film biography The Jolson Story, and from then until his death in 1950 he recorded successfully, often remaking his earlier hits in a ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
6	Earl Hines in New Orleans (1977) more music like this by Earl Hines Earl Hines' final solo piano record was reissued on CD in 1996 and its original seven selections have been joined by five equally rewarding (and previously unreleased) numbers. 73 at the time, Hines had lost none of the adventure in his playing, as he shows on such tunes as "I'll See You In My Dreams," "Blue Skies," "Diane," and "Wolverine Blues." ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $14.72!
7	Young Man with a Horn (1954) more music like this by Doris Day & Harry James The 1950 film Young Man With a Horn proved to be a pivotal point in Doris Day's career, as it represented her first major screen dramatic role. The soundtrack gave her an opportunity to return to big-band music, this time with Harry James leading the band. Naturally, the tunes in the film leaned toward the familiar, but those standards -- "The Man ... see all copies from $11.09!
8	Kansas City Stomp: The Library of Congress Recordings, Vol. 1 (1938) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton Pianist/composer Jelly Roll Morton, one of the pioneers of New Orleans jazz, was down and out in 1938 when Alan Lomax found him playing in a Washington D.C. dive. Lomax, realizing that Morton had seen and heard many timeless incidents that would otherwise be forgotten, started interviewing him for the Library of Congress on a wire recorder. ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $15.61!
9	Rose of Washington Square (1999) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The 1939 film Rose of Washington Square is a musical about the life of a Broadway singer named Rose Sargent, played by Alice Faye, and specifically about her romance with the gambler Bart Clinton, played by Tyrone Power. Al Jolson plays Ted Cotter, a second-rate singer and Rose's friend, who tries to help her. The plot is a thinly veiled version ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $12.50!

13 view cover	The Jolson Story, Pt. 2 (Rock-A-Bye Your Baby) (1987) more music like this by Al Jolson Part of MCA's Jolson Story series, this brings 12 tunes from that blockbuster's soundtrack to compact disc in a straight-ahead reissue of the original vinyl album. These are the 1940s Morris Stoloff arrangements featuring Jolson a good two keys lower than the originals, but giving it his all nonetheless. Hits include "Swanee," "Avalon," "My Mammy, ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $5.98!

15 view cover	You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet/I Love You/A Girl, A Girl (2002) more music like this by Eddie Fisher Collectables Records has done a creditable job in reissuing Eddie Fisher's RCA Victor albums on discount-priced CDs that combine the material from two LPs on a single disc, often with bonus material. But there aren't always two albums that match up, either in terms of theme or chronology. This disc juxtaposes recordings from different periods in ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!

18 view cover	Pretty Baby [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Dean Martin Dean Martin waited two years following Swingin' Down Yonder before recording his second full-length LP, Pretty Baby (though, of course, he recorded singles, EPs, and film soundtrack material in the interim). This time, under the baton of Lee Gillette, he essayed a 12-song set of ballads, among them semi-standards (and Bing Crosby hits) like "It's ... see all copies from $12.55! new only from $12.55!
19 view cover	Best of Classic Years in Digital Stereo (2001) more music like this by Various Artists If you've ever found that a particular 78 rpm-era recording sounds good on one CD but scratchy on another, it has to do with the remastering -- or lack thereof. With proper digital remastering, a pre-1950 recording can lose a lot of its scratchiness. But if the remastering is lousy, the scratchiness will remain. Robert Parker, an Australian sound ... see all copies from $27.82!

21 view cover	Original Studio Radio Transcriptions (2001) more music like this by Kay Starr Despite the unwieldy title (yes, these are studio performances that were later broadcast on the radio), this collection of Kay Starr transcriptions from the late '40s presents some of the best singing of her career. Relaxing deep into the groove on these small-group titles, Starr sinks into the blues for "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," and ... see all copies from $6.25!

23 view cover	Secret Love [ASV/Living Era] (2004) more music like this by Doris Day The beginning of Doris Day's career as a solo vocalist is compiled often -- and often well -- but Secret Love stands out nevertheless. Although it covers only the first six years of her postwar output, that period included many highlights, and the narrow focus reveals splendid performances that usually don't appear on similar collections. As for ... see all copies from $10.83! new only from $10.83!
24 view cover	Tour de Force (1972) more music like this by Earl Hines Pianist Earl Hines is in top form on this brilliant set of solo piano. This CD (which has three previously unreleased performances along with five of the six numbers from its counterpart LP) and Tour de Force Encore greatly expand upon the original set. Whether it be "Mack the Knife," "Indian Summer," or "I Never Knew," Hines is near the peak of ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $12.00!
