1	Sings the Cole Porter Song Book (1956) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald A striking two-CD set featuring arguably history's finest jazz singer singing some of the best-written American pop standards on one of jazz's most prolific labels. Ella Fitzgerald shines as the perfect interpreter of Cole Porter's bittersweet love songs on these 35 tracks from the Verve archives. Recorded and released on LP in 1956, Ella is ... see all copies from $6.93! new only from $26.65!
2	Best of the Capitol Years (2002) more music like this by Les Brown & His Band of Renown By the time that Les Brown signed with Capitol Records in the mid-'50s he had already become an internationally acclaimed clarinet and sax player as well as bandleader for nearly two decades. This single CD compilation gathers over two dozen tracks cut during the brief three-year stint (1955-1958) that Brown and his Band of Renown spent recording ... see all copies from $5.28! new only from $10.14!
3	Collection [Import] (1998) more music like this by Cleo Laine see all copies from $6.14! new only from $6.14!
4	You Never Know [2001 Studio Cast] (2001) more music like this by 2001 Studio Cast Cole Porter called You Never Know his worst show, and he had reason. Not only was his work on it interrupted by the riding accident that crippled him for life, but he was basically a hired gun on a production also including songs by others that was being transmogrified from a European chamber musical into a lavish Broadway show. When it finally ... see all copies from $15.50! new only from $15.50!
5	Ultra-Lounge: Cocktails With Cole Porter (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The Ultra Lounge series returns with Cocktails With Cole Porter, a collection of '50s and '60s renditions of songs Porter wrote in the '20s and '30s. For the most part, these songs made the transition into lounge territory intact; Nat King Cole's "Just One of Those Things," Ella Fitzgerald's "It's De-Lovely," Julie London's "My Heart Belongs to ... see all copies from $11.31! new only from $11.31!
6	When the Wind Was Cool (1997) more music like this by Dominique Eade Dominique Eade interprets 13 songs from the 1950s on this CD, most of which had been recorded previously by Chris Connor and June Christy. Eade's voice captures the essence of those cool-toned singers, yet she also sounds fairly distinctive. The instrumentation varies from cut to cut with such players as tenor saxophonist Benny Golson, bass ... see all copies from $29.26!
7	Something to Live For (1999) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Ella Fitzgerald recorded so much, and so much of what she recorded was so good, that the notion of one album summing her up is all but ludicrous. That said, this two-disc set, a companion to a television documentary by the same title, comes the closest of any album so far. It is the first album to span the two most important eras of her recordings ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $26.16!
8	Sunrise Serenade [Living Era] (2002) more music like this by Frankie Carle and His Orchestra Francis Nunzio Carlone, professionally known as Frankie Carle (1903-2001), was a popular pianist whose sweet dance band rose to prominence during the 1940s, followed by a second wave of popularity in the easy listening market throughout the 1950s. Just months after his passing, Living Era assembled a splendid tribute to this accomplished ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.83!
9	Ridin' High (1992) more music like this by Robert Palmer see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.37!
10	22 Original Big Band Recordings (1957) (1957) more music like this by Les Brown & His Orchestra The 1957 Les Brown Orchestra is featured on this Hindsight CD which is comprised of concise (all but one of the 22 numbers are under three minutes) radio transcriptions. Brown always had a first-class dance band but none of the soloists are particularly distinctive. Best is singer Jo Ann Greer who always had a pleasing style, but this set is not ... see all copies from $8.97! new only from $8.97!
11	Cleo Laine Live!!! At Carnegie Hall (1973) more music like this by Cleo Laine see all copies from $9.49!
12 view cover	Move Over Darling (1997) more music like this by Doris Day Doris Day was not only among the most prodigiously talented singers of the 20th century, but among the most resilient -- that's the only way to explain the worth of this eight-CD set, which encompasses Day's output 20 years after her initial breakthrough to pop stardom. She was obviously no longer on the cutting edge of music in 1960, the year ... see all copies from $16.62! new only from $195.15!
13 view cover	A Great American Songwriter, Vol. 2 (2007) more music like this by Cole Porter see all copies from $2.73! new only from $9.71!
14 view cover	The Columbia Album of Cole Porter (1983) more music like this by Michel Legrand & His Orchestra see all copies from $1.99!
15 view cover	Dissertation on the State of Bliss (2005) more music like this by Laura Welland The cycle of love lost and found is the stated theme of Laura Welland's sophomore recording. A wealth of standards are put together in something of a chronological order to depict the forms of love and the desire for love over one's lifetime. The album opens with a series of "young love"-themed songs, full of vim and vigor with honesty and ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $10.41!
16 view cover	This Is Chris (1955) more music like this by Chris Connor During 1953-1955, singer Chris Connor recorded regularly for Bethlehem. This reissue LP has her final recordings for the label (before moving up to Atlantic) with such fine sidemen as Herbie Mann (doubling on flute and tenor), pianist Ralph Sharon, guitarist Joe Puma, bassist Milt Hinton, and drummer Osie Johnson. The two-trombone team of J.J. ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $29.05!
17 view cover	Cuttin' Capers/Bright and Shiny (1995) more music like this by Doris Day This discount-priced two-fer combines two up-tempo Doris Day albums from the late '50s and early '60s. The discs were not released sequentially; 1959's Cuttin' Capers was followed by two 1960 releases, What Every Girl Should Know and Show Time, before Bright and Shiny appeared in 1961. But the two albums share a sprightly tone. The theme of Bright ... see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
18 view cover	Look in My Eyes (1996) more music like this by Charles Cermele Cabaret performer Charles Cermele got high marks with this his debut album as it won the 1996 Bistro Award for Outstanding Record of the Year. A selection of standards, near standards, and tunes from the Broadway musical stage, Cermele is accompanied by Christopher Marlowe, who served as musical director for the late Nancy LaMott. Like all good ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.76!
19 view cover	Hors d'Oeuvres [Living Era] (2002) more music like this by Sid Phillips Clarinetist and arranger Sid Phillips led a band for many years after his association with Ambrose ended in the '30s, and this ASV/Living Era compilation includes most of his best sides. Leading with his most popular performance, "Hors d'Oeuvres," the disc includes Phillips' interpretations of a varied set of jazz age standards, including "I Got ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
20 view cover	Things Are Swingin' (1959) more music like this by Peggy Lee Midway through a small lull in her live performance career, Peggy Lee recorded the stereo LP Things Are Swingin' in Hollywood during May 1958, at the same sessions that produced the biggest hit of her career, "Fever." (Though not on the original LP, it was added to the 2004 reissue as a bonus track.) Still, Things Are Swingin' isn't a high point ... see all copies from $28.91!
21 view cover	I Get a Kick Out of You [Pearl] (1995) more music like this by Ethel Merman see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.52!
22 view cover	Gold: Greatest Hits (2003) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Ella Fitzgerald wasn't a natural choice for the Universal series Gold: Greatest Hits, since her impact never correlated to her chart success -- at least, not in the last five decades of her career. Nevertheless, this retrospective of her Verve period spans the mid-'50s and the mid-'60s, including much of her best songbook work and a duet with ... see all copies from $9.54! new only from $19.84!
23	American Legends Series: You're the Top (1975) more music like this by Ethel Merman see all copies from $10.46! new only from $13.18!
24 view cover	Dial & Oatts Play Cole Porter (1992) more music like this by Dial & Oatts see all copies from $10.04!
25 view cover	Ridin' High (1990) more music like this by Hod O'Brien Although he has never had much fame, Hod O'Brien was one of the top bebop pianists of the 1990s. His style is straight from Bud Powell and Al Haig (there are no Bill Evans voicings), yet does not sound derivative and reflects his own musical personality. On this excellent CD, O'Brien is teamed with bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Kenny Washington ... see all copies from $19.58! new only from $19.58!
