1	A Swingin' Affair! (1957) more music like this by Frank Sinatra In some ways, A Swingin' Affair! is "Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, Pt. 2," following the same formula of Sinatra's hit album of the previous year. Beneath the surface, there are enough variations on A Swingin' Affair! to make it a distinctive, and equally enjoyable listen. The most noticeable difference between the two records is their basic ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $15.11!
2	The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong (1997) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong from Verve contains a selection of 15 duets the two jazz legends recorded for the label over the years. Clearly, this set isn't of particular interest to hardcore collectors, since they'll already own much of the material, but as a sampler targeted at casual fans, this is quite nice indeed, since it ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.29!
3	The Capitol Years [3-CD] (1990) more music like this by Frank Sinatra see all copies from $12.99! new only from $34.81!
4	Ella and Louis [Master Edition] (1956) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong make for a charming team on this CD. Accompanied by pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Buddy Rich, Fitzgerald and Armstrong perform 11 standards with joy and swing. There are touches of Satch's trumpet, but this is primarily a vocal set with the emphasis on tasteful ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
5	In London, In Love... (1956) more music like this by Norrie Paramor see all copies from $12.55! new only from $15.00!
6	The Tatum Group Masterpieces, Vol. 4 (1955) more music like this by Art Tatum The fourth of eight CDs featuring the pianist interacting with some of his most notable musical contemporaries is the second to match his virtuosity with that of vibraphonist Lionel Hampton and drummer Buddy Rich. The three immortals really challenge each other during this frequently heated jam session. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.95! new only from $10.80!
7	The Band Played On - 25 Number One Hits! (2002) more music like this by Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians Guy Lombardo's was one of the orchestras giving sweet bands a good name during the '30s and '40s (along with Jimmie Lunceford's), and this multi-decade disc of material hits all of the group's highest points. Difficult as it is to recommend a Lombardo volume that lacks the quintessential perennial ("Auld Lang Syne"), there's over two dozen great ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $11.34!
8	New York Jazz (1956) more music like this by Sonny Stitt Sonny Stitt was so closely identified with Charlie Parker on the alto that even when he played tenor, his style was of the quicker-than-lightning variety with all the notes he could pack in a phrase in his soloing. Which makes listening to him, for all but the most ardent bebop fans, an endurance contest no matter how agile he was. Here, in a 1956 ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
9	Only for the Pure of Heart (1998) more music like this by Jimmy Cobb's Mob Jimmy Cobb was in his late 60s when he recorded Only for the Pure at Heart, but the veteran drummer was still playing with the type of enthusiasm that had characterized his work with Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, Cannonball Adderley and other big names 35 and 40 years earlier. Of course, enthusiasm is easier to come by when you have as solid and ... see all copies from $15.42! new only from $15.42!
10	Day by Day/Day by Night (2000) more music like this by Doris Day When Doris Day freed herself from those cotton candy films she appeared in, where her singing for the most part was limited to cute novelty tunes, she showed that she could successfully sink her vocal teeth into some solid standard material. The LPs compiled on this CD come from the late '50s, when she was recording for Columbia with backing from ... see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!
11 view cover	A Jazz Romance: A Night in With Verve (2001) more music like this by Various Artists In jazz, ballads have a way of separating the men from the boys and the women from the girls. They show what an improviser is made of emotionally. On ballads, technique for the sake of technique doesn't cut it -- you have to bring some genuine feeling and honest-to-God emotion to the table. And there is plenty of honest-to-God emotion on this four ... see all copies from $24.87! new only from $24.87!
12 view cover	Ultimate Stan Getz (1998) more music like this by Stan Getz Verve's Ultimate series lets the professionals do the picking. In the case of Ultimate Stan Getz, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson selected the cuts that fill this 12-track sampler of Getz delicacies. Roughly spanning the latter '50s to the late '60s, the disc takes in Getz's work with Oscar Peterson, arranger Eddie Sauter ("Once Upon a Time" from ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
13 view cover	Byrd in the Wind (2002) more music like this by Charlie Byrd When Charlie Byrd recorded Byrd in the Wind in 1959, he was still two years away from discovering bossa nova. The guitarist had yet to interact with Astrud and João Gilberto or record anything by Antonio Carlos Jobim, and he had yet to become a major player in the Brazilian jazz field. Nonetheless, Byrd was an impressive jazzman even before he ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
14 view cover	Pick Yourself Up with Anita O'Day (1956) more music like this by Anita O'Day For this well-rounded CD reissue that adds nine cuts to the original program, Anita O'Day, in her prime period, is mostly heard accompanied by Buddy Bregman & His Orchestra, but there are also a few tracks on which she is joined by a jazz combo featuring trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison. Highlights include "Don't Be That Way," "Stompin' at the ... see all copies from $8.48! new only from $13.71!

With the exception of "Early Autumn," on which Getz is a member of Woody Herman & His Orchestra, and "Easy Living," as a member of Count Basie's band, these were all small group sessions, quartets. and quintets.
