1	Unforgettable: With Love (1991) more music like this by Natalie Cole A major change of direction for Natalie Cole, Unforgettable found the singer abandoning the type of R&B/pop she'd been recording since 1975 in favor of jazz-influenced pre-rock pop along the lines of Nat King Cole's music. It was a surprising risk that paid off handsomely -- both commercially and artistically. Naysayers who thought that so radical ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.50!
2	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!
3	For Sentimental Reasons (1986) more music like this by Linda Ronstadt For Sentimental Reasons was the last traditional pop album Linda Ronstadt recorded with Nelson Riddle, and it's virtually indistinguishable from its two predecessors -- it has the same sweeping arrangements, and her voice remains adequate, not spectacular. That said, For Sentimental Reasons is notable since it contains a high percentage of ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $16.65!
4	Steppin' Out (1993) more music like this by Diana Krall Krall's first recording remains an eye and ear opener. Without the overt schmaltz, Krall proves a sincere singer and, more so, a fine pianist whose talent in this area would later become sublimated. If you want to hear not only the roots of Krall's jazzier and romantic side, not to mention the fun, you'll get it all on this remastered CD, with a ... see all copies from $4.72! new only from $15.28!
5	Good Night, and Good Luck (2005) more music like this by Dianne Reeves George Clooney's 2005 film Good Night, and Good Luck is set in New York City during the '50s, and the director decided the right music to go with the black-and-white cinematography was jazz. More specifically, current recordings from vocalist Dianne Reeves and a small combo featuring some silky smooth tenor and alto sax from Matt Catingub, Peter ... see all copies from $5.19! new only from $16.81!
6	Those Were Our Songs: Music of World War II (2001) more music like this by Various Artists World War II and big-band pop-era compilations are released almost as regularly as Christmas albums, and the glut has caused more harm than good; it seems any good ones are quickly swallowed up by the racks full of short, ill-advised, uninformative collections. Though any single label could never do justice to the war years, with a little clever ... see all copies from $18.67! new only from $18.67!
7	The World of Nat King Cole (2005) more music like this by Nat King Cole Easily the longest of any Capitol single-disc compilation, 2005's The World of Nat King Cole also benefits from a fresh remastering of its material to make it the best introduction to the interpretive brilliance of Nat King Cole. Nearly all the hits that need to be here are indeed present: "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Route 66," "Nature Boy," ... see all copies from $18.88! new only from $27.98!
8	Dear Mr. Cole (1994) more music like this by John Pizzarelli John Pizzarelli's tribute to Nat King Cole features him in a drumless trio with pianist Benny Green and bassist Christian McBride on all but one selection. Pizzarelli is fine as a rhythm guitarist, but since he sings on most of the selections and his voice is merely average, this session (which includes 18 selections, most of which were originally ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	Swing When You're Winning (2001) more music like this by Robbie Williams Performance dynamo and chameleonic entertainment personality Robbie Williams made a rapid transformation -- from English football hooligan to dapper saloon singer -- for his fourth LP, Swing When You're Winning. Still, Williams' tribute to the great American songbook is a surprisingly natural fit with its intended target: '50s trad-pop patriarchs ... see all copies from $5.62! new only from $14.90!
10	Velvet Soul (1972) more music like this by Carmen McRae Recent reissue of early '70s material on the Groove Merchant label. McRae was doing mix of standards, ballads, a little blues, and some originals, and was also experimenting with some soul jazz. These are not as well done as her material on some other labels, but are interesting for showing the mood of a label in the transitional '70s. Ron Wynn, ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.00!
11	The Golden Flute (1966) more music like this by Yusef Lateef The emphasis is on older tunes and styles on this Yusef Lateef Impulse! album. Lateef (switching between tenor, flute, and oboe) plays such numbers as "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Ghost of a Chance," "Exactly like You" (on oboe), and "Rosetta" along with some group originals. Lateef has long been a true original, and he revitalizes the ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
12 view cover	Nat King Cole Collection: A Musical Tribute (2003) more music like this by Beegie Adair see all copies from $6.99! new only from $11.37!
13 view cover	The Best of the Nat King Cole Trio: The Vocal Classics, Vol. 1 (1942-1946) (1995) more music like this by Nat King Cole Originally released in August 1968, The Best Of Nat "King" Cole (Capitol 2944) was reissued in 1980 (Capitol 16036). William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.29! new only from $14.43!
14 view cover	Kicks! The Best of Oscar Brown Jr. (2004) more music like this by Oscar Brown, Jr. With 23 tracks from all four of Brown's early-'60s albums for Columbia, this is the finest representation of the singer's work on record. It's true that it doesn't include some worthy post-Columbia material, particularly cuts from the 1964 live recording Mr. Oscar Brown Goes to Washington (such as "Brother Where Are You?"). It's also true that ... see all copies from $14.88! new only from $14.88!
15 view cover	Nat King Cole [Capitol] (1992) more music like this by Nat King Cole For an overview of Nat "King" Cole's years as a remarkably popular singer, this four-CD box would be difficult to top. Containing 100 songs spanning a 20-year period, this box has virtually all of Cole's hits, some of his best jazz sides, and more than its share of variety, including a humorous previously unreleased version of "Mr. Cole Won't Rock ... see all copies from $37.77! new only from $57.31!
16 view cover	Swing (2003) more music like this by Suzy Bogguss On her third self-released album, Suzy Bogguss, one of the finest female vocalists living and working in Nashville, allows one of her many passions to come to the surface on Swing. With Asleep at the Wheel's Ray Benson in the producer's chair, Bogguss kicks out 12 classy pop, jazz, and swing tunes with a smoking band making a timeless sound. ... see all copies from $14.29! new only from $14.29!
17 view cover	Take It from the Top (2004) more music like this by Bob James Trio Bob James, who for many years has gained fame and fortune for his commercial pop/jazz crossover sets, on this set returns to his roots in straight-ahead jazz. James is showcased in a trio with bassist James Genus and drummer Billy Kilson, paying tribute to some of his favorite pianists. James' interpretations of nine standards are not necessarily ... see all copies from $7.77! new only from $19.19!
18 view cover	With Respect to Nat (1965) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Trio This album is quite unusual. Recorded shortly after Nat King Cole's death, pianist Oscar Peterson takes vocals on all but one of the dozen selections, sounding almost exactly like Cole. Peterson, who rarely ever sang, is very effective on the well-rounded program, whether being backed by a big band (arranged by Manny Albam) on half of the ... see all copies from $15.27!
19 view cover	Smile (2003) more music like this by Lyle Lovett Since The Road to Ensenada in 1996, Lyle Lovett has released a collection of covers in 1998, a live album in 1999, a predominately instrumental soundtrack in 2000, and now, in 2003, Smile, a collection of songs he recorded for movie soundtracks between 1992 and 2002. None of these were on his official albums and none of them are originals (meaning ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
20 view cover	Cool Cole (2002) more music like this by Nat King Cole see all copies from $12.40! new only from $23.63!
21 view cover	Best of Nat King Cole: The Instrumental Classics/The Vocal Classics (1998) more music like this by Nat King Cole With 62 total tracks, including many of Nat King Cole's most beloved vocal numbers along with his underappreciated world-class piano trio recordings all in one package, you can't go wrong with this unless it is out of your budget. If you have no Nat King Cole whatsoever in your collection, you'd be well advised to save up until you can get this ... see all copies from $35.41! new only from $35.41!
22 view cover	Songs from the Girl Singer: A Musical Autobiography (1999) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Rather than rely solely upon its back catalog as usual, Concord has gone the extra mile to make this Clooney career survey a must-buy, raiding the archives of various labels and the singer's own collection for a really valuable two-CD retrospective. Virtually all of the early stuff, where she emerges as a major pop hitmaker from Mitch Miller's ... see all copies from $7.80! new only from $23.44!
23 view cover	The Life of the Party (1999) more music like this by Neal McCoy Ironically, Life of the Party is one of the slowest albums Neal McCoy has ever recorded -- not the bustling collection of honky tonk ravers and country-rockers the title promises. Instead, it's an accomplished collection of mid-tempo country-pop and tearjerker ballads, all of which McCoy can deliver quite convincingly. After all, by this stage in ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.77!
24 view cover	Cocktail Combos (1997) more music like this by Various Artists In some ways, this three-CD set from 1997 was a very unnecessary release. There had already been reissues of the complete output of the Nat King Cole Trio plus all of the Aladdin recordings made by Charles Brown and Floyd Dixon, so all 75 numbers on this generous reissue (25 from Cole, 32 by Brown including three from his days with Johnny Moore's ... see all copies from $14.99!
25 view cover	The Greatest Hits [Capitol] (1944) more music like this by Nat King Cole For all the resurgence in interest in Nat King Cole since 1991, when his daughter Natalie recorded a duet patching her new vocal with his from 40 years earlier and scored a gold-selling hit, Capitol Records lacked a single-disc hits collection that covered Cole's most successful singles for the label. This 22-track, 62-plus minute CD/cassette ... see all copies from $17.53!
