1	When Love Goes Wrong (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Bill Maher (as in Politically Incorrect) once stated that marriage is a lot like communism--it sounds great on paper, but in reality, it doesn't work. That's a very cynical view of romance; some marriages do work, and they work well. But at the same, one can certainly understand where Maher is coming from--half of American marriages, after all, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
2	A Night Out With Verve (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A Night Out With Verve highlights five decades of remarkable jazz taken from the Verve catalog, spread out over four discs titled "Wining," "Dining," "Dancing," and "Romancing." This budget-priced box set includes 65 performances from jazz luminaries including Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Michel Legrand, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Louis Armstrong ... see all copies from $12.68! new only from $24.40!
3	Sings the Irving Berlin Song Book (1958) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald It is difficult to know where to begin when approaching an artist as wonderful as Ella Fitzgerald, especially when covering a revered recording like Sings the Irving Berlin Song Book from the late '50s. This set includes two CDs with 32 songs chosen from Berlin's collection of nearly 800 songs. These selections are perfectly suited for Fitzgerald ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $30.90!
4	Moonlight Sinatra (1965) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Driven by a set of lush, sparkling Nelson Riddle arrangements, Moonlight Sinatra is a low-key, charming collection. Although the basic concept is somewhat nebulous -- all of the songs have the word "moon" in the title -- Riddle wrote a series of charts that suggest a warm, lovely evening with a variety of tones and moods, from light Latin rhythms ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $19.42!
5	Sings the Irving Berlin Song Book [Vol. 2] (1958) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald It is difficult to know where to begin when approaching an artist as wonderful as Ella Fitzgerald, especially when covering a revered recording like Sings the Irving Berlin Song Book from the late '50s. This set includes two CDs with 32 songs chosen from Berlin's collection of nearly 800 songs. These selections are perfectly suited for Fitzgerald ... see all copies from $9.97! new only from $10.70!
6	Reaching for the Moon (1991) more music like this by Roseanna Vitro Roseanna Vitro is a talented singer deserving of wider recognition, but this CD is a bit of a misfire. Although she is good voice throughout the date, the strange engineering of her vocals causes a slow fade which proves to be very distracting, especially on "Slow Hot Wind." Kenny Werner, an underappreciated pianist, unfortunately also ... see all copies from $5.95!
7	Love, Ella (2007) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald see all copies from $5.15! new only from $5.15!
8	A Little White Gardenia (2003) more music like this by Carl Brisson see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
9	Jazz 'Round Midnight: Ella Fitzgerald (1991) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Jazz 'Round Midnight is a good budget-priced collection of 14 songs Ella Fitzgerald recorded for Verve. It never tries to be a definitive retrospective, choosing instead to concentrate on torchy ballads that make for ideal late-night listening. Consequently, it isn't an album that will please collectors and purists, who would rather hear these ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.91!
10	I'll Be Around (2004) more music like this by Dunstan Coulber Quartet see all copies from $22.87! new only from $22.87!
11	Vol. 4, 1929-1930 (2002) more music like this by Ben Pollack The fourth volume in Jazz Oracle's Ben Pollack reissue program covers the period right after Benny Goodman and cornetist Jimmy McPartland had departed. They were soon replaced by clarinetist Matty Matlock and trumpeter Charlie Teagarden, but the main star throughout is trombonist/singer Jack Teagarden. This CD has 13 selections recorded by Pollack ... see all copies from $15.34! new only from $15.34!
12 view cover	The Big Broadcast, Vol. 2 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Rich Conaty has for over 30 years hosted the weekly New York City radio program The Big Broadcast on WFUV-FM. Since he features jazz and pop music from the 1920s and '30s on his shows, his CD compilations (of which this is the second) stick to that era, emphasizing rarities. The Big Broadcast, Vol. 2 is mostly in chronological order (except for ... see all copies from $16.06! new only from $16.06!
13 view cover	Licensed to Thrill (2002) more music like this by Donna Byrne Jazz vocalist Donna Byrne's animated manner of spinning a lyric is augmented by her warm intonations and acute sense of swing. Here, she garners terrific support from guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli and saxophonist Scott Hamilton. The artists project a scenario that might be conducive to an upscale hotel lounge, as Byrne embraces a jazzy set consisting ... see all copies from $10.78! new only from $10.78!
14 view cover	Let's Go Back to the Waltz (1993) more music like this by Irving Berlin & Bobbi Aird see all copies from $24.64!
15 view cover	Holly Cole (2007) more music like this by Holly Cole Holly Cole has always been a difficult vocalist to categorize because of her eclectic taste in music. But this self-titled CD, first issued by Alert in 2007 and reissued in early 2008 by Koch, finds her accompanied by various configurations of small bands, mostly with brass and reeds supplied by a number of top New York session players, with a ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
16 view cover	The Complete Hit of the Week Recordings, Vol. 2: 1930-1931 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists During 1930-1932, the worst years of the Depression, the Durium label had a special "Hit of the Week" series of recordings put out on cardboard (using vinyl) and sold at newsstands rather than record stores. Some of the releases were as lengthy as five minutes and, although the cardboard could warp, the recording quality was excellent and, under ... see all copies from $39.72! new only from $39.72!
17	All By Myself (2002) more music like this by Irving Berlin see all copies from $5.99! new only from $12.00!
18 view cover	Jazz for Broken Hearts (2007) more music like this by Various Artists This Japanese compilation from Verve's catalog is aptly named. It includes 18 busted love tracks from as many different artists -- most of whom are standard-bearers in the tradition. The other compelling thing here is that there are truly odd choices that really work. A single example in terms of type would be the inclusion of Mel Tormé singing ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
