1	Mandy Patinkin (1989) more music like this by Mandy Patinkin Patinkin has reserves of emotion that seem boundless on this tour de force collection mainly given over to show songs. Employing a vocal range that begins in a clear high tenor and plunges to a gruff baritone, Patinkin is able to act and sing duets with himself or sing beautifully alone. But feeling -- sometimes overflowing feeling -- is the core ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $8.22!
2	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Al Jolson (2001) more music like this by Al Jolson After recording successfully in the 1910s and being the top solo artist of the 1920s (according to chart researcher Joel Whitburn), Al Jolson stopped making records for 12½ years between 1932 and 1945, when he was lured back into the studio by Decca just prior to the comeback he scored due to the film biography The Jolson Story in 1946. He cut 71 ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
3	The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper (1969) more music like this by Mike Bloomfield see all copies from $17.76! new only from $17.76!
4	Abraham, Martin & John [Ace] (2003) more music like this by Dion see all copies from $3.25! new only from $14.90!
5	Mambo with Tjader (1954) more music like this by Cal Tjader Vibraphonist Cal Tjader was quickly becoming one of the most important forces in Latin jazz when he recorded the infectious music on this CD reissue. Joined by pianist Manuel Duran, bassist Carlos Duran, and a couple of percussionists, Tjader performs Latinized versions of such standards as "Cherry," "This Can't Be Love," "I'll Remember April," ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
6	Slant 6 Mind (1997) more music like this by Greg Brown For the most part, this 14th album is business as usual for Greg Brown, which is very good news indeed. As always, he covers wide terrain, both musically and conceptually, and he shifts gears effortlessly, delivering a lilting love song ("Vivid") one minute and a haunting portrait of bluesman Robert Johnson ("Dusty Woods") the next. Other ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $15.98!
7	A Timeless Christmas (2006) more music like this by Israel & New Breed One of the most remarkable Christmas albums of 2006 was Israel & New Breed's A Timeless Christmas, a disc that, once again, proves that bandleader Israel Houghton is as much a soul singer as he is a champion of cross-generational, multi-ethnic praise & worship music. In 2002, he took a departure towards '70s R&B with the impossibly soulful Real, ... see all copies from $6.34! new only from $13.28!
8	The Fabulous Josephine Baker (1962) more music like this by Josephine Baker see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
9	Chess Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Chess Blues is a superlative four-CD box set featuring important tracks by all the main stars of the label (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson), as well as much previously unreleased material. A well-done retrospective of Chicago blues in its heyday, as recorded by America's greatest blues label, Chess. Cub Koda, All ... see all copies from $29.99! new only from $52.26!
10	Spotlight on Mel Tormé (Great Gentlemen of Song) (1995) more music like this by Mel Tormé This very interesting CD gives listeners a cross section of Mel Tormé's Capitol recordings. Caught fairly early in his career, Tormé's voice was already quite recognizable and appealing. Ballads alternate with occasional romps, including several arranged by Frank DeVol in 1949 that are surprisingly boppish; Pete Rugolo, Nelson Riddle, and Sonny ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $38.50!
11 view cover	King Biscuit Time (1989) more music like this by Sonny Boy Williamson II King Biscuit Time features Sonny Boy's early Trumpet sides from 1951. The original "Eyesight to the Blind," "Nine Below Zero" and "Mighty Long Time" are Sonny Boy at his very best. Added bonuses include Williamson backing Elmore James on his original recording of "Dust My Broom" and a live KFFA broadcast from 1965. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!

13 view cover	Fine Brown Frame (1968) more music like this by The Big Band Sound of Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Featuring Ruth Brown In the late '60s, veteran singer Ruth Brown recorded two albums with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra, but neither one was all that classic. She sounds fine, though the big band has little to do except be supportive. The opening "Yes Sir, That's My Baby" is pretty weak, and "Sonny Boy" certainly did not need to be revived. Much better are ... see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!
14 view cover	The World's Greatest Entertainer (2000) more music like this by Al Jolson After staying away from the recording studio for 13 years, Al Jolson signed to Decca Records in 1945. A year later, the label's faith was justified by Jolson's career resurgence in the wake of the success of the film biography The Jolson Story, and from then until his death in 1950 he recorded successfully, often remaking his earlier hits in a ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $7.08!

16 view cover	The Route (1956) more music like this by Chet Baker With Art Pepper This 1989 CD issue compiles all known sides cut during a July 26, 1956, session led by Chet Baker (trumpet) and Art Pepper (alto sax). Keen-eyed enthusiasts will note that this particular date occurred during a remarkable week -- July 23 through July 31 -- of sessions held at the behest of Pacific Jazz label owner and session producer Dick Bock at ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!

18 view cover	Soul Street (1961) more music like this by Jimmy Forrest A popular yet underrated tenor saxophonist, Jimmy Forrest is featured in several different settings on this 1998 CD reissue. Forrest matches wits with fellow tenors King Curtis and Oliver Nelson on "Soul Street" (his opening phrase is a classic), plays three standards (including an effective "Sonny Boy") with a combo that includes pianist Hugh ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
19 view cover	Hits I Missed/Al Jolson Classics (2003) more music like this by Ted Heath In 2003, Dutton Vocalion released Hits I Missed/Al Jolson Classics, which contained two albums released on Decca -- Hits I Missed from 1957 and Al Jolson Classics from 1958 -- by bandleader Ted Heath on one compact disc. Tim Sendra, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.00!
20 view cover	More Songs for Sleepless Nights (1993) more music like this by Various Artists None of the songs on More Songs for Sleepless Nights were featured in the film Sleepless in Seattle, but for those who enjoyed the movie's actual soundtrack, this collection offers several songs in the same vein.

25 view cover	Owsley (1999) more music like this by Owsley Alabama born multi-instrumentalist Will Owsley followed a career path not unlike Sheryl Crow's, by backing up big mainstream pop artists, collecting the rewards and channeling them into his own solo work. Owsley plied his wares in the bands of Shania Twain and Amy Grant in the mid-'90s, then recorded his own material at home, and offered the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.00!
