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 $1.99!
2	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 $17.79! new only from $17.79!
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 $4.44! new only from $16.14!
4	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 $7.00! new only from $14.03!
5	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 $16.01! new only from $25.64!
6	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 $39.94!
7	Concord Records SACD Sampler, Vol. 1 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.24! new only from $9.24!
8	The Very Best of Nat King Cole [Capitol] (2006) more music like this by Nat King Cole This generous anthology, with 28 tracks and close to 80 minutes of music, is one of the best single-disc sets on the market of Nat King Cole's pop side. Spanning over 20 years, from 1943 to 1964, The Very Best of Nat King Cole includes most of his biggest hits for Capitol Records, like 1946's "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66," 1950s "Mona Lisa," 1951 ... see all copies from $14.51! new only from $14.51!
9	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 $17.92! new only from $17.92!
10	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 $13.88!
11 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 $10.26! new only from $10.26!
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 $6.99!
13 view cover	The Definitive Nat "King" Cole (2002) more music like this by Nat King Cole Pianist/singer Nat King Cole recorded so extensively in the 1940s that putting together a one-disc sampler of his work with his trio must have been a daunting task. The 15 selections on this sampler, released in chronological order, include ten trio numbers with guitarist Oscar Moore and bassist Johnny Miller. In addition, there are two cuts with ... see all copies from $2.44! new only from $11.13!
14 view cover	The Classic Singles (2003) more music like this by Nat King Cole If you add up all the songs Nat King Cole placed in the various Billboard singles charts -- including not only the pop and R&B charts, but also the adult contemporary and even country ones, as well as the lists of discs "bubbling under" the main pop chart -- the total comes to a remarkable 123, and that's not including the many repeat appearances ... see all copies from $23.99! new only from $36.70!
15 view cover	My America (2002) more music like this by Monty Alexander Over his long recording and performing career, Monty Alexander has displayed an ability to excel with any jazz or related genre. From swing to bop and hard bop, from reggae to mainstream jazz, you name it and Alexander has done it and done it well. On his latest and fourth album for the Telarc label, the veteran pianist takes time to show his ... see all copies from $3.14! new only from $14.29!
16 view cover	Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy: Greatest Hits (2001) more music like this by The Andrews Sisters Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy: Greatest Hits features 42 songs by the Andrews Sisters recorded between 1944 and 1952. While this compilation does include many familiar songs and several duets with Carmen Miranda, Danny Kaye, Burl Ives, Les Paul and Bing Crosby, the 16-track, MCA compilation Greatest Hits: The 60th Anniversary Collection is still the ... see all copies from $16.88! new only from $17.02!
17 view cover	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 $1.99! new only from $1.99!
18 view cover	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 $6.95! new only from $8.22!
19 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 $9.31! new only from $9.31!
20 view cover	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!
21 view cover	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 $3.32! new only from $14.61!
22 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 $7.98! new only from $7.98!
23 view cover	Great Guitars: Live (2001) more music like this by Great Guitars Herb Ellis, Barney Kessel, and Charlie Byrd made five recordings under the banner Great Guitars for Concord between 1976 and 1982; this two-CD set combines both of their concert performances. With bassist Joe Byrd and either Jimmie Smith or Chuck Redd on drums, the guitarists complement one another's playing throughout both shows, with the two ... see all copies from $12.99! new only from $14.62!
24 view cover	The Best of the War Years (2001) more music like this by The Andrews Sisters During World War II, the Andrews Sisters were famous for patriotic pop. Obviously, not everything they recorded had to do with war or the United States military -- Maxene, Patty, and LaVerne Andrews were quite popular before the U.S. entered World War II. But they were responsible for some of the most famous (and cutest) patriotic hits of their ... see all copies from $10.07! new only from $10.07!
25 view cover	Cool Cole (2002) more music like this by Nat King Cole see all copies from $12.40! new only from $18.19!
