1	Duets: An American Classic (2006) more music like this by Tony Bennett Tony Bennett has so many adoring celebrity fans it should come as no surprise that when a major duets album is planned, he's able to draw a roster of the biggest recording stars from the rock and vocal worlds, plus a pair of country music wildcards. (This despite the fact that he recorded an album with several duets in 2001, and a full-album ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.95!
2	The Essential Tony Bennett [Columbia/Legacy] (2002) more music like this by Tony Bennett Like most entries in Sony/Legacy's Essential series, 2002's The Essential Tony Bennett is an excellent, exhaustive retrospective of a lengthy, hit-filled career at Columbia. Although Bennett spent time at other labels -- particularly in the '70s -- he made his best-known and greatest recordings for Columbia, from the late '50s through the '90s, ... see all copies from $9.32! new only from $10.99!
3	The Ultimate Tony Bennett (2000) more music like this by Tony Bennett The 20 tracks on this anthology cover Bennett's entire career at Columbia, from his 1951 number one single "Because of You" to "Mood Indigo" from 1999's Hot and Cool: Bennett Sings Ellington. Note, however, that "entire career at Columbia" is not synonymous with Bennett's entire career, as there's nothing representing the span between the mid-'60s ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.35!
4	Fifty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett (2004) more music like this by Tony Bennett When the first version of this impressive box set was originally released in 1991 (as Forty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett), it put the capstone upon Tony Bennett's remarkable return to prominence by looking back at a legacy that had been overshadowed by that of the colossus Sinatra. The collection methodically traced his career from his ... see all copies from $16.14! new only from $16.14!
5	Greatest Hits of the '60s (2006) more music like this by Tony Bennett Released the month that Tony Bennett turned 80, this LP-length compilation of his 1960s records gives a good account of his second decade of recording, even if it doesn't quite live up to the "greatest hits" claim of its title. All of Bennett's Top 40 pop hits of the '60s are included, among them the Top 20 entries "I Left My Heart in San ... see all copies from $9.19! new only from $11.06!
6	Kissing Jessica Stein (2002) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Romantic comedies aren't something new; back in 1938, Bringing up Baby (starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant) was the definitive romantic comedy of its time. But the genre has evolved over the years, and so have musical tastes. These days, the soundtracks of romantic comedies are likely to have a lot of adult contemporary or pop/rock because ... see all copies from $4.30! new only from $16.20!
7	Forever Diana: Musical Memoirs (1993) more music like this by Diana Ross While the four-disc set Forever Diana could have been better -- it seems a little skimpy to give only one disc to the Supremes, while there are some odd choices on the remaining three discs -- it nevertheless contains all the major items, which will make it of interest to casual fans. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $19.98! new only from $56.06!
8	How Beautiful Is Night (1992) more music like this by George Shearing This is very much a mood music date as opposed to a jazz session. Pianist George Shearing always liked the overblown muzaky arrangements of Robert Farnon and was happy to play while backed (and sometime almost buried) by the string section. Actually Shearing is in superior form and is the only reason to acquire this otherwise erratic disc. Four ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.16!
9	Bye Bye Birdie (1963) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Like all Broadway musicals, Bye Bye Birdie underwent some changes on its way to the big screen. In the case of this show, a parody of the 1950s rock & roll fervor that took off from Elvis Presley's departure for the army, the main alteration had to do with the balance of emphasis among the characters. Although it was an ensemble piece, on-stage ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $25.49!
10	Meet Marvelous Marilyn Maye/The Lamp Is Low (2001) more music like this by Marilyn Maye This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print LPs by easy listening vocalist Marilyn Maye: Meet Marvelous Marilyn Maye and The Lamp Is Low, both originally issued on RCA Victor. Highlights among the 24 tracks include "The Song Is You," "Hello Dolly," "The Night We Called It a Day," and "Get Me to the Church on Time." Al Campbell ... see all copies from $11.82! new only from $13.20!
11 view cover	Bye Bye Birdie [Original Broadway Cast] [Bonus Track] (1960) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast With a run of 607 performances, 1960's Bye Bye Birdie was the first Broadway success for songwriters Charles Strouse (music) and Lee Adams (lyrics), and it also elevated Dick Van Dyke to stardom while consolidating the success of Chita Rivera, who was coming off a lengthy stint with West Side Story. Michael Stewart's libretto takes as its ... see all copies from $8.55! new only from $11.06!
12 view cover	Hollywood & Broadway (2001) more music like this by Matt Monro see all copies from $12.56! new only from $12.56!
13 view cover	A Child's Celebration of Showtunes (1992) more music like this by Various Artists This album of recordings features the original casts singing some Broadway family favorites. Hearing them again or for the first time will inspire the whole family to join in a joyous celebration of song. Titles include "Consider Yourself" from Oliver, "Getting to Know You" from The King and I, "Put On A Happy Face" from Bye, Bye, Birdie, "Do Re ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $9.86!
14 view cover	Give My Regards to Broadway (1960) more music like this by Andre Previn One of pianist Andre Previn's first recordings after leaving the Contemporary label, this trio workout with bassist Red Mitchell and drummer Frank Capp is very much in the same straight-ahead genre. Previn's trio performs ten show tunes from ten different productions. Virtually all of the songs are still quite well known, including "Almost Like ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.20!
15 view cover	There's a Place for Us: The Unreleased LP + Much More (2004) more music like this by The Supremes Motown's endless musical assembly line yielded a number of incomplete or otherwise shelved projects. This is especially true during the label's heyday, when sessions were being held around the clock in the infamous 'Snakepit' studio of Motown's 2648 West Grand Boulevard digs. In the case of There's a Place for Us (1965) for instance, there was ... see all copies from $15.15! new only from $20.84!
16 view cover	The Playground (1998) more music like this by Tony Bennett On his first children's album, Tony Bennett presses into service some familiar titles from The Great American Songbook, such as Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer's "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive," Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke's "Swinging on a Star," and Arlen, Billy Rose and E.Y. Harburg's "(It's Only) a Paper Moon." He also dips into his own ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
17 view cover	J.J.'s Broadway (1963) more music like this by J.J. Johnson This is one of the more obscure J.J. Johnson LPs. On six of the ten songs, the great trombonist is joined by four others, while the remaining four tracks (the main reasons to search for this album) feature him in a quartet with pianist Hank Jones, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Walter Perkins. Johnson's writing on the larger group pieces lifts ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $10.44!
18 view cover	Prelude [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Jack McDuff Big Band Though the first nine tracks of this CD duplicate McDuff's original Prelude LP (recorded in December 1963), this expanded reissue more than doubles its length with 11 bonus tracks. All of the bonus cuts are taken from 1964-1966 sessions (originally released on five different LPs) which were either arranged and conducted by Benny Golson (who also ... see all copies from $22.87! new only from $22.87!
19 view cover	Duets: An American Classic [Hong Kong] (2006) more music like this by Tony Bennett Tony Bennett has so many adoring celebrity fans it should come as no surprise that when a major duets album is planned, he's able to draw from a roster of the biggest recording stars from the rock and vocal worlds, plus a pair of country music wildcards. (This despite the fact that he recorded an album with several duets in 2001, and a full-album ... see all copies from $6.59! new only from $8.18!
20 view cover	A Sign of the Times (1976) more music like this by Tal Farlow Guitarist Tal Farlow's debut for the Concord label was only his second album as a leader since 1959. Farlow, who had given up the hectic lifestyle of a full-time jazz musician to become a sign painter who played guitar on the side, had not lost any of his power or creative swing through the years. Teamed up in a drumless trio with pianist Hank ... see all copies from $8.81! new only from $10.29!
21	At the Copa (1965) more music like this by The Supremes The Supremes at the Copa suffers from its inclusion of numerous standards that pre-date rock & roll, likely in an attempt to appeal to the New York show's conservative audience. Compared to the group's own signature tunes and a medley of Sam Cooke songs, these others seem to fall very flat. Even the audience seems to react more enthusiastically to ... see all copies from $3.43!
22 view cover	On the Sunny Side (1992) more music like this by Maria Muldaur Her voice works surprisingly well for kids. With great arrangements, wonderful song choices, it's a well-thought-out, very successful recording. For ages four to eight. Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.50!
23 view cover	Put on a Happy Face (2005) more music like this by Stan Hope Stan Hope's piano style is reminiscent at times of Gene Harris in his days with the Three Sounds and Oscar Peterson in his more laid-back moments. This set begins with two of its strongest numbers, "R.D.'s Blues" and "Then I'll Be Tired of You," a pair of selections that greatly benefit from the inclusion of tenor saxophonist Houston Person. ... see all copies from $13.22! new only from $14.95!
24 view cover	Tony's Tunes (2003) more music like this by John Bunch No one can accuse John Bunch of having a short career; born on December 1, 1921, the veteran pianist was 81 when he recorded Tony's Tunes for Chiaroscuro on May 12, 2003. What's the secret to Bunch's success? In addition to having impeccable chops and an inherent sense of swing and melody, Bunch is smart enough to realize that a musician needs to ... see all copies from $13.56! new only from $17.86!
