1	Round Midnight with Nelson Riddle and his Orchestra (1986) more music like this by Linda Ronstadt w/ Nelson Riddle & His Orchestra see all copies from $14.99! new only from $26.61!
2	Lush Life (1984) more music like this by Linda Ronstadt What's New illustrated that Linda Ronstadt was no longer interested in contemporary pop, and since it was a surprise success, there was no reason not to repeat the formula on Lush Life. Working again with Nelson Riddle, Ronstadt runs through several pop standards -- "When I Fall in Love," "Sophisticated Lady," "Falling in Love Again," "It Never ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $16.85!
3	Night and Day: Big-Band (1995) more music like this by Chicago Generally, when contemporary performers have taken on retro projects like this one, they have tended to emphasize their fidelity to the sources -- consider Linda Ronstadt hiring arranger/conductor Nelson Riddle to recreate his string backgrounds for albums like What's New. Chicago takes a different approach to the swing band classics it tackles ... see all copies from $8.26! new only from $8.26!
4	Piano Starts Here (1933) more music like this by Art Tatum There are many Art Tatum records available, but this is the one to pull out to amaze friends, particularly with Tatum's wondrous version of "Tiger Rag," during which he sounds like three pianists jamming together. This CD consists of Tatum's first studio session as a leader (which resulted in "Tea for Two," "St. Louis Blues," "Tiger Rag," and ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
5	Plays Duke Ellington (1955) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Thelonious Monk (piano/arranger) began his illustrious relationship with Riverside Records on the pair of July 21 and 27, 1955, dates needed to complete the eight sides for Plays Duke Ellington (1955). Monk commands a trio that also presents the talents of Oscar Pettiford (bass) and Kenny Clarke (drums) on all the tracks sans "Solitude," which ... see all copies from $6.34! new only from $10.29!
6	Q: The Musical Biography of Quincy Jones (2001) more music like this by Quincy Jones Although Rhino's four-disc box set, Q: The Musical Biography of Quincy Jones, was released to coincide with Quincy Jones' autobiography, and that's what gives the set the title, the set would have an appropriate moniker even if Jones hadn't put his life story to paper. That's because this box set really does tell his story, partially because its ... see all copies from $54.53! new only from $54.53!
7	Jazz a Saint Germain (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This compilation of jazz and pop with a Continental flair includes two of the most famous French female pop stars, Jane Birkin and Françoise Hardy, in duets with Jimmy Rowles and Iggy Pop, respectively. Elsewhere, great tracks are turned in by Angélique Kidjo, the Jazz Passengers with Debbie Harry, and Catherine Ringer & the Renegade Brass Band. ... see all copies from $15.11! new only from $15.11!
8	All or Nothing at All (1955) more music like this by Billie Holiday This two-disc set features some of Billie Holiday's top Verve performances from the mid-'50s. Over the course of 28 cuts, she runs the emotional gamut from summery optimism ("Love Is Here to Stay") to pathos-rich musings ("Ill Wind"). Befitting her perennial after-hours mood while at the label, the majority of songs here feature Holiday in a low ... see all copies from $20.94! new only from $20.94!
9	Music for Loving (1995) more music like this by Ben Webster with Strings Combining two string albums by Ben Webster and one from Ellington sideman Harry Carney, the two-disc Music With Feeling delivers over two hours' worth of incredible ballad interpretations. Webster, of course, made his name with many an after-hours gem, and he predictably shines here amidst the lush yet tasteful orchestral charts penned by Ralph ... see all copies from $17.99! new only from $20.94!
10	For My Father (2005) more music like this by Hank Jones Grand jazz master pianist and octogenarian Hank Jones is accompanied here by bassist George Mraz and drummer Dennis Mackrel. The program is a collection of jazz and pop standards that Jones has undoubtedly played countless times before, and it matters not a whit. His sense of refinement, elegance, and swing saturates the proceedings. Whether it's ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
11 view cover	Alive (1991) more music like this by Chick Corea's Akoustic Band To the surprise of some, the Elektric/Akoustic association between Chick Corea, John Patitucci, and Dave Weckl now matched Return to Forever in longevity and productivity (five years, six albums). And the live (though no venue is given) Alive shows the giant steps made by Patitucci and, more so, Weckl during that time. In fact, at this juncture in ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $13.91!
12 view cover	The Very Best of Cleo Laine: 34 Classic Hits (1997) more music like this by Cleo Laine This two-CD set may be titled The Very Best of Cleo Laine: 34 Classic Hits but it is actually a lesser reissue. Drawing its material from Laine's RCA recordings of 1974-1996, the set is pretty light on jazz despite cameos from Clark Terry, Gerry Mulligan, Toots Thielemans and Joe Williams. While the occasional jazz tracks give one a feeling of ... see all copies from $17.76! new only from $17.76!

16 view cover	Demi-Centennial (1995) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney During her very rich Concord years, which resulted in a renaissance for the veteran singer, Rosemary Clooney was generally featured singing swing standards with a jazz rhythm section, tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, and (in the early days) cornetist Warren Vaché. But by the early '90s, Clooney was being heard more often than not in orchestral ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

18 view cover	Akoustic Band (1989) more music like this by Chick Corea's Akoustic Band After recording a string of fusion records in the late '80s with his Elektric Band, Chick Corea returned to acoustic jazz with this trio date. Enlisting Elektric Band sidemen John Patitucci and Dave Weckl, Corea swings through ten tracks with noticeably mixed results. The leader is as romantic as ever, playing with bravado even on ballads, ... see all copies from $3.39! new only from $13.91!
19 view cover	This One's for Blanton (1972) more music like this by Duke Ellington with Ray Brown For this set of duets, pianist Duke Ellington is teamed up with bassist Ray Brown in performances a bit reminiscent of Duke's work with Jimmy Blanton three decades before. In addition to the four-part "Fragmented Suite for Piano and Bass," the duo plays five standards (including "Pitter Panther Patter" from the Blanton days and three other ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!

21 view cover	Ella in Rome: The Birthday Concert (1958) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This concert performance finds Ella Fitzgerald celebrating her 40th birthday. A top singer for 23 years at that point, she was at the peak of her powers. Backed by her regular rhythm section (with pianist Lou Levy, bassist Max Bennett and drummer Gus Johnson), she puts on her usual show of the period, uplifting the ballads and swinging the faster ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $13.71!
22 view cover	Cornell 1964 (2007) more music like this by Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy In 2005, Blue Note raised the eyebrows (and expectations) of the jazz world by issuing the previously unreleased Thelonious Monk/John Coltrane Carnegie Hall concert from November of 1957 that literally replaces the few other recordings of the group both sonically and musically. In 2007, courtesy of Charles Mingus' widow Sue, with the help of ... see all copies from $13.86! new only from $13.86!
23 view cover	Silver Rain (2005) more music like this by Marcus Miller see all copies from $5.99! new only from $15.98!
24 view cover	Invitation (1983) more music like this by Jaco Pastorius Electric bassist Jaco Pastorius' Word of Mouth big band made two recordings for Warner Bros. during its short life, of which is this is the superior one.

Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from $3.19! new only from $3.97!
