1	The Complete Verve Remixed (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Only six months after the third volume of Verve Remixed was released, Verve issued this, a box combining the three volumes of the series with an additional disc of extra remixes and three videos. If you have the first three volumes, there's not much motivation to swap them in exchange for this package, as the bonus disc does little to enhance the ... see all copies from $30.32! new only from $30.32!
2	Here's to Life (1991) more music like this by Shirley Horn Shirley Horn's meeting with a string section and an orchestra arranged by Johnny Mandel has some exquisite moments although sometimes it is just overly sweet. Horn recorded with her trio (which includes bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams) first, emphasizing slow ballads. Mandel used the pianist-vocalist's improvisations and chord ... see all copies from $2.20! new only from $11.52!
3	The Classic Singles (2003) more music like this by Nat King Cole If you add up all the songs Nat King Cole placed in the various Billboard singles charts -- including not only the pop and R&B charts, but also the adult contemporary and even country ones, as well as the lists of discs "bubbling under" the main pop chart -- the total comes to a remarkable 123, and that's not including the many repeat appearances ... see all copies from $22.80! new only from $36.70!
4	Verve Remixed (2002) more music like this by Various Artists More than ten years on from the first whisperings of a dance revolution, there are scores of solid producers in the scene, figures with all the talent, historical knowledge, and judgment necessary to rework most any tracks from the Verve archive. Surprisingly, Verve Remixed strays from the label's crossover-heavy '60s and '70s material (the ... see all copies from $10.42! new only from $10.42!
5	Verve Unmixed (2002) more music like this by Various Artists In 2002, the legendary Verve label took 12 tracks from its huge and varied jazz catalog and turned a bunch of DJs and producers loose on them, creating a mostly successful old-meets-new program of jazzy electronica entitled Verve Remixed. Simultaneously, the label released this collection, which contains all the same numbers in their original form ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $9.61!
6	Greatest Hits (1994) more music like this by Martin Denny This passable Greatest Hits collection from the Curb label may only yield a scant ten songs from the vast arsenal of exotic goodness that is the Tiki torch world of Martin Denny, but as far as budget-priced compilations, one could do a whole lot worse. "The Enchanted Sea," "Quiet Village," "Hawaiian Wedding Song," "Martinique," and "A Taste of ... see all copies from $2.86! new only from $7.03!
7	The Transition Sessions (2002) more music like this by Donald Byrd/Doug Watkins This CD compilation collects three separate sessions recorded by Donald Byrd and Doug Watkins for Transition with various small groups. The 1955 recordings (first issued under the title Byrd's Eye View) were made shortly after Byrd replaced Kenny Dorham in the Jazz Messengers, all of whom (Horace Silver, Art Blakey, and Hank Mobley, along with ... see all copies from $20.23! new only from $20.23!
8	Weaver of Dreams (2001) more music like this by Angela Hagenbach Kansas City denizen Angela Hagenbach solidifies her position as a first rank jazz singer with her third solo album for Amazon Records. To reach this pinnacle she has built upon the legacy of Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, carried on by Nancy Wilson and Abbey Lincoln, among others, applying a modern dash to familiar songs. Hagenbach conquers a ... see all copies from $9.23! new only from $39.98!
9	Chillin' (1999) more music like this by David "Fathead" Newman David "Fathead" Newman has recorded many albums through the years in a variety of contexts and on several instruments. This straight-ahead effort is pretty definitive of his jazz abilities, for it has Newman making four appearances on tenor, two on soprano, and one apiece on flute and alto. Accompanied by vibraphonist Bryan Carrott, pianist John ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!
10	The Sky Could Send You (2005) more music like this by Sherri Roberts/Phil Woods/Lew Soloff An appealing jazz singer from the San Francisco Bay area, Sherri Roberts has a nice voice, always swings, and is not afraid to stretch herself. On The Sky Could Send You she utilizes a variety of guest artists, including altoist Phil Woods on three numbers, but she is the main focus throughout. Her repertoire, which includes a rhythmically complex ... see all copies from $13.11! new only from $13.11!
11 view cover	Taboo 2: New Exotic Sounds of Arthur Lyman (1998) more music like this by Arthur Lyman This stands up to any Martin Denny album as an example of exotica in full flight, decorated with lots of bird noises and soft vibraphone. The songs do tend to melt into each other without much in the way of striking differences, and it's not likely it would be played often except by those who can't get enough Arthur Lyman in the house. "Jungle ... see all copies from $10.81! new only from $10.81!
12 view cover	Easy Listening Classics (2001) more music like this by Percy Faith Easy Listening Classics provides an accurate insight into what made up a portion of Percy Faith's work, even including a rare appearance of a tune penned by Faith, but it accounts for none of the innumerable popular songs Faith became famous for turning into easy listening classics. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Faith's versions of pop ... see all copies from $5.26! new only from $5.26!
13 view cover	Unforgettable [Proper Pairs] (2004) more music like this by Nat King Cole see all copies from $9.96! new only from $9.96!
14 view cover	Exotica (1957) more music like this by Martin Denny Exotica introduced the hit "Quiet Village," catapulted the ersatz musical idiom of the same name, and brought much attention to the Martin Denny Group from visitors to the group's base in Hawaii. Even the gorgeous jacket photo -- of "exotica girl" Sandy Warner peeking out from a bamboo curtain -- is a classic of the era. With all this going for it ... see all copies from $7.00!

16 view cover	Hawaii more music like this by Martin Denny Hawaii is the name of a film, and this is Martin Denny's version of the main title plus other songs. It is very much one of the best later records, with a very strong second side. "Oro" is exotica of a piece with Denny's best early work, and a new recording of "Sukiyaki" can be considered exotic rock. Another return to the old days are the James ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $30.00!
17 view cover	The Movie Album (1967) more music like this by Ramsey Lewis see all copies from $5.36!
18	Shangri-La! (1963) more music like this by Percy Faith & His Orchestra Percy Faith followed Themes for Young Lovers, one of his most successful albums, with this change-of-pace visit to exotic places. He had traveled to other locales musically before, but this collection, at least thematically, took in a considerable amount of ground, most of it in the Far East, from the fictional Himalayan utopia celebrated in ... see all copies from $13.16!
