1	The Romantic Moods of Jackie Gleason (1996) more music like this by Jackie Gleason This is a fine compilation of Jackie Gleason's output for Columbia. Gleason's objective was to make "musical wallpaper" that should never be intrusive, but rather conducive. He was not musically literate, but never had a problem articulating what he wanted to hear from his orchestra. The music here is quiet, melancholy, and often somber, played at ... see all copies from $14.84! new only from $22.81!
2	Get It (2006) more music like this by The Lashes Say Seattle outside of Washington state, and the inevitable response is Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. But besides those Emerald City rock monsters, the city has also hosted pop heroes the Posies and a thriving punk scene, as MXPX fans will quickly acclaim. Young guns the Lashes fall somewhere between these two latter musical threads, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
3	Plays Hi-Fi Music for Influentials (1957) more music like this by Steve Allen This release features 16 tracks selected from various albums issued between 1957 and 1966. Allen distributes the material fairly evenly between his own compositions and interpretations of standards by the likes of Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer, and Irving Berlin. As cocktail jazz goes, it's very straight-ahead (though some cuts take a bossa nova ... see all copies from $19.95!
4	Singing in the Rain [Audiophile] (1995) more music like this by Cliff "Ukulele Ike" Edwards see all copies from $13.31! new only from $13.31!
5	Broadway: The American Musical (2004) more music like this by Various Artists This five-CD box set, containing 106 tracks and running six-and-one-third-hours, is an audio companion to the six-part PBS documentary series Broadway: The American Musical, but not the soundtrack to that series. Rather, it is a sampler covering 84 years of recordings and 99 years of show tunes. One song has been chosen from each of 102 musicals. ... see all copies from $22.09! new only from $51.07!
6	Cheek To Cheek (2006) by Beegie Adair see all copies from $11.50! new only from $11.50!
7	Golden Touch (1994) more music like this by Frankie Carle see all copies from $3.97! new only from $13.37!
8	Take It Off!: Striptease Classics (1997) more music like this by Various Artists David Rose's "The Stripper," with its now instantly recognizable bump-and-grind blare, was a fluke number one hit in 1962. It leads off this collection of early-'60s instrumental music specifically made (and, more to the point, marketed) with burlesque titillation in mind. Roulette Records was spurred to devise two entire instrumental LPs of "The ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $18.75!
9	From Battersea to Broadway (2002) more music like this by George Shearing Early recordings by George Shearing have been usually been reissued in a scattershot, rather incomplete fashion, but this 97-track boxed-set compilation includes just about everything he recorded between 1939 and 1951 for labels such as Decca, Parlophone, Ace of Clubs, Savoy, Discovery, and MGM, along with a few songs that made their first ... see all copies from $17.00! new only from $17.00!
10	Double Play: No Bass Hit/Major League (2002) more music like this by Dave Mckenna & Scott Hamilton & Jake Hanna Concord greatly enriched the revival of more traditional forms of jazz in the 1970s and 1980s when they bought together established players like pianist Dave McKenna and drummer Jake Hanna with new kids on the block like tenor Scott Hamilton. This bassless trio recorded No Bass Hit in 1979, then returned for an encore with Major League in 1986. ... see all copies from $10.52! new only from $10.52!
11 view cover	Tell Me Why/Sings for Lonely Nights (2001) more music like this by Bobby Vinton This two-fer from Collectables combines a pair of out-of-print Bobby Vinton LPs on one compact disc: Tell Me Why and Sings for Lonely Nights, both originally issued on Epic Records in 1964 and 1965, respectively. Highlights among the 24 tracks include "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody," "In the Still of the Night," and "I'll Walk Alone," which are ... see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!

13 view cover	Irving Berlin in Hollywood (1999) more music like this by Irving Berlin This 25-track compilation of Irving Berlin songs from Hollywood musicals was taken from the original soundtrack performances, spanning the dawn of talkies ("Blue Skies," sung by Al Jolson from The Jazz Singer) to the mid-1950s (Marilyn Monroe's "After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It"). Several well-known classics are on board, like "There ... see all copies from $11.41! new only from $11.41!
14 view cover	Dancing in the Moonlight (1996) more music like this by Rudy Vallée Lacking any annotation beyond song titles and songwriter credits, this 63-minute, 20-song compilation (apparently a European import) consists of recordings made by Rudy Vallée and His Connecticut Yankees for Victor, Columbia, and other labels between 1928 and 1937. Only four of the tracks -- "You're Driving Me Crazy! (What Did I Do?)," "My Song," ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!
15 view cover	Young Blue Eyes: Birth of a Crooner (2004) more music like this by Frank Sinatra With the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra Bluebird certainly didn't need the "As Seen on TV" logo to sell this collection of unreleased Frank Sinatra performances. For fans of Sinatra in general and his early big-band period specifically, Young Blue Eyes: Birth of a Crooner represents a fresh outpouring of Sinatra's winning way with a song. All of the performances are live and come from ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.66!
16 view cover	The Best of the Big Bands (1936) more music like this by Artie Shaw Artie Shaw's first big band was quite unusual, originally comprised of four horns, a string quartet and a four-piece rhythm section. This unimaginatively titled CD (whose chatty liner notes unfortunately do not include personnel and date information) has the first 16 recordings by this fine orchestra, featuring vocals by the forgettable Wesley ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!
17 view cover	Whispering (2000) more music like this by Roy Fox Roy Fox was born and raised in the U.S. but is best remembered by the British for the excellent jazz and dance music his orchestra performed in and around London during the '30s. Living Era's Roy Fox tribute album presents an overview of Fox's musical legacy, drawing upon the Decca and HMV recordings he made between 1931 and 1938. More so than ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
18 view cover	Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup [Living Era/ASV] (1995) more music like this by Hildegarde Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup marks the first CD appearance for the cabaret singer Hildegarde. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.23!
19 view cover	Yearnings (2003) more music like this by Bobby Gordon & Bob Wilber There's something to be said for gently swinging, decorous, small-ensemble jazz. Quite a lot to be said, actually -- in a marketplace dominated by overbearing, thousand-notes-a-minute show-offs. Artists who can make their musical statements concisely, and without bombast, are to be treasured. Of course, there's also something to be said for energy ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.37!
20 view cover	The Great Ziegfeld (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $7.07! new only from $7.07!

24 view cover	Live at Hanratty's (1981) more music like this by Dick Wellstood This disc is one of pianist Dick Wellstood's finest recordings. Wellstood's lengthy solo recital finds him interpreting a particularly eclectic repertoire that includes "Jingle Bells," a medley of tunes associated with Cole Porter and Bessie Smith, Sidney Bechet's obscure "Quincy Street Stomp," his own "Cha Cha for Charlie," and Louis Armstrong's ... see all copies from $11.86! new only from $11.86!
25 view cover	Radio Stars of America (2005) more music like this by Jack Benny Show business does the darnedest things to people. Benjamin Kubelsky, for example, chucked a career as a concert violinist to become Jack Benny, a mainstay in vaudeville, Depression-era, and wartime radio, as well as early television. His wife, Sadie Marks, became a regular character on his show (as Mary Livingstone) and even ended up legally ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
