1	Celebrating 30 Years at the Cafe Carlyle (1998) more music like this by Bobby Short From its title, one might reasonably suppose that Celebrating 30 Years at the Cafe Carlyle is either a live album or a compilation; it is neither. Instead, it finds 72-year-old singer/pianist Bobby Short, who began appearing at the Cafe Carlyle in Manhattan's Carlyle Hotel in 1968 and has continued ever since, fronting a sort of small big band ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!
2	16 Most Requested Songs (1977) more music like this by Teresa Brewer 16 Most Requested Songs is a midline-priced collection that spotlights many of Teresa Brewer's best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including "Ol' Man Moses," "Delta Dawn," "Hurry On Down," "Cotton Fields," "Danny's Song," "Come On and Drive Me Home" and "School Days." Although it's far from a perfect retrospective of her ... see all copies from $16.19! new only from $33.79!
3	Burnin'/Confessin' the Blues (1999) more music like this by Esther Phillips In 1999, Collectables released Burnin'/Confessin' the Blues, which contained two complete albums -- Burnin' (1970, originally released on Atlantic) and Confessin' the Blues (1976, originally released on Atlantic) -- by Esther Phillips on one compact disc. Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.56! new only from $11.56!
4	Back to the Blues [Bonus Tracks] (1997) more music like this by Dinah Washington Prior to her 1959 hit "What a Difference a Day Makes," nearly every Dinah Washington recording (no matter what the style) was of interest to jazz listeners. However, after her unexpected success on the pop charts, most of Washington's sessions for Mercury and Roulette during the last four years of her life were quite commercial, with string ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
5	Romance in the Dark (2003) more music like this by Lil Green see all copies from $2.62! new only from $2.62!
6	Music for Lovers (2007) more music like this by Dinah Washington The Music for Lovers series from EMI and Blue Note spotlights the balladic nature and romantic side of artists who have recorded for its associated labels. Dinah Washington, of course, was a superb ballad singer whose elegance brought a maximum of feeling to the standards she sang. Her Music for Lovers volume includes songs from some of the very ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.79!
7	Live at Carnegie Hall & Montreaux, Switzerland (1978) more music like this by Teresa Brewer Two previously unissued live concerts from 1978 and 1983 find Teresa in rare form, singing and swinging in front of big bands simply top-heavy with great players. Kicking off with a duet with Dizzy Gillespie on "It Don't Mean a Thing" (where Dizzy plays a Jew's harp funkier than any electronic gizmo you can think of), Brewer puts the torch to ... see all copies from $7.19! new only from $9.82!
8	Champian (2007) more music like this by Champian Fulton/David Berger/The Sultans of Swing Singer/pianist Champian Fulton makes an impressive debut with David Berger and the Sultans of Swing in this collection of time-tested standards, many of which have unjustly fallen out of favor. Fulton is gifted with an expressive voice, clear diction, and a great sense of rhythm, while Berger's arrangements provide perfect accompaniment. "I Didn't ... see all copies from $8.93! new only from $16.92!
9	Best of Dinah Washington [EMI] (2002) more music like this by Dinah Washington see all copies from $6.49! new only from $6.49!
10	Let Me Entertain You (1996) more music like this by Ann-Margret No one would argue that Ann-Marget's principal entertainment skill was as a vocalist. So it may seem a bit finicky to point out that this well-packaged, 21-track retrospective of recordings from the early and mid-'60s actually is not the best anthology of her music. That honor belongs to The Many Moods of Ann-Margret (on the Australian Raven ... see all copies from $9.14!
11 view cover	How's Your Romance (1999) more music like this by Bobby Short The title How's Your Romance? and the release date, 19 days before Valentine's Day, 1999, provide hints why Telarc bothered to assemble a compilation drawn from its four Bobby Short albums, with five tracks drawn from Late Night at the Cafe Carlyle, three from Swing That Music, two from Songs of New York, and six from Celebrating 30 Years at the ... see all copies from $9.42! new only from $9.42!
12 view cover	The Legend at Her Best (2000) more music like this by LaVern Baker One of the founding ladies of rock & roll, LaVern Baker's hits "Jim Dandy" and "Tri La La" helped propel her to legendary status. This two-CD compilation features four complete albums recorded by Baker for Atlantic Records during the height of her popularity in the late '50s and early '60s. While she had big sellers with rock oriented tunes, her ... see all copies from $28.79! new only from $28.79!
13 view cover	Chicago Urban Blues 1923-1945 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.33! new only from $6.33!
14 view cover	Linger Awhile (1999) more music like this by Ruby Braff This compilation combines tracks from three separate early-'50s recording sessions. Braff, heard on trumpet rather than cornet, is in great form, and is joined by Vic Dickenson, Nat Pierce, and now-obscure tenor saxophonist Samuel Margolis on a swinging "Sweet Sue." Two tracks come from a Dickenson-led date; the best is a very relaxed take on "I ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
15 view cover	Blues Roots, Vol. 1 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.61!
16 view cover	Bachelors' Paradise/On the Way Up (2002) more music like this by Ann-Margret This discount-priced two-fer combines two of the five solo albums Ann-Margret recorded for RCA Victor Records during the 1960s, her fourth, Bachelors' Paradise (1963), followed by her second, On the Way Up (1962). The albums seem to have been chosen and sequenced as they were to provide a contrast, giving a sense of the different musical ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
17 view cover	LaVern/LaVern Baker (1998) more music like this by LaVern Baker This Collectables CD contains LaVern Baker's first two albums, LaVern and LaVern Baker, on disc. Both records are excellent -- even if a couple of cuts fall a little flat, most of the material is first-rate and Baker is in terrific form, singing with power and grace. The remastering and packaging aren't quite up to the standard of the music itself ... see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
18 view cover	A First (1985) more music like this by Ruby Braff with Scott Hamilton Although it is implied with its title that this was the first collaboration between cornetist Ruby Braff and tenor-saxophonist Scott Hamilton, they had recorded a date back in December 1983 for the Swedish Phontastic label. Accompanied by Hamilton's regular quartet of the period (pianist John Bunch, guitarist Chris Flory, bassist Phil Flanigan and ... see all copies from $12.00!
19 view cover	That Satin Doll/The Theme from Beyond the Fringe and All That Jazz (2000) more music like this by Carol Stevens & Phil Moore's Music/Dudley Moore see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
20 view cover	Late Night Blues [Columbia River] (2004) more music like this by Various Artists A collection of brooding chill-out blues classics, Late Night Blues has a weary, broken-down feel perfect for the wee hours of the morning when all the bars are closed, when the night is shading forward toward dawn, and there is nothing at all that can be done about anything except sleep an exhausted sleep, but sleep just won't come. That's the ... see all copies from $4.06! new only from $4.06!
21 view cover	Jazz Masters (1999) more music like this by Dinah Washington see all copies from $59.98!
22 view cover	Blues Hits, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.86!
23 view cover	Suchamuch (2001) more music like this by Paul Cebar & The Milwaukeeans see all copies from $4.99!
24 view cover	Atlantic Jazz Vocals: Voices of Cool, Vol. 1 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino helps Atlantic sift through its vocal holdings with this fine and somewhat rarefied mix of sides. Cutting across time and styles, the 20-track set takes in both the obscure likes of Betty Bennett and Frances Wayne and more high-profile singers such as Helen Merrill and Bobby Short. Tapping into Atlantic's well-known R&B stock, the collection ... see all copies from $6.97!
25 view cover	The Hollywood Flames (1992) more music like this by The Hollywood Flames Though not in a class with the Moonglows, the Five Satins, or the Platters, the Hollywood Flames were a solid doo wop group that should have been much better known. The only song on this CD that was a major hit is the infectious "Buzz Buzz Buzz." Otherwise, listeners are treated to excellent material that fell through the cracks, which ranges from ... see all copies from $26.00!
