1	Duets: An American Classic (2006) more music like this by Tony Bennett Tony Bennett has so many adoring celebrity fans it should come as no surprise that when a major duets album is planned, he's able to draw a roster of the biggest recording stars from the rock and vocal worlds, plus a pair of country music wildcards. (This despite the fact that he recorded an album with several duets in 2001, and a full-album ... see all copies from $4.07! new only from $16.59!
2	It Might as Well Be Swing (1964) more music like this by Frank Sinatra/Count Basie and His Orchestra Frank Sinatra and Count Basie's second collaboration, It Might as Well Be Swing, was a more structured, swing-oriented set than Sinatra-Basie, and in many ways the superior album. The album consists of then-recently written songs, arranged as if they were swing numbers. The results work splendidly, not just because arranger/conductor Quincy Jones ... see all copies from $8.89!
3	The Ultimate Tony Bennett [2000] (2000) more music like this by Tony Bennett The 20 tracks on this anthology cover Bennett's entire career at Columbia, from his 1951 number one single "Because of You" to "Mood Indigo" from 1999's Hot and Cool: Bennett Sings Ellington. Note, however, that "entire career at Columbia" is not synonymous with Bennett's entire career, as there's nothing representing the span between the mid-'60s ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.35!
4	The Essential Tony Bennett [Columbia/Legacy] (2002) more music like this by Tony Bennett Like most entries in Sony/Legacy's Essential series, 2002's The Essential Tony Bennett is an excellent, exhaustive retrospective of a lengthy, hit-filled career at Columbia. Although Bennett spent time at other labels -- particularly in the '70s -- he made his best-known and greatest recordings for Columbia, from the late '50s through the '90s, ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $22.14!
5	Wild Cool & Swingin (1999) more music like this by Bobby Darin Classic pop crooner Bobby Darin is profiled in this volume of Capitol's Ultra Lounge series, Wild, Cool & Swingin. The label's vaults reveal Darin performances like "Hello, Young Lovers," "Hello Dolly," "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" and others that reflect his range and versatility as a performer. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.82! new only from $10.79!
6	The Legendary Bobby Darin [Capitol] (2004) more music like this by Bobby Darin In a recording career lasting 17 years, Bobby Darin spent only three of those years, 1962-1965, signed to Capitol Records. They were busy years for him in the recording studio: he released seven Capitol LPs, five of which made the charts, and 11 Capitol singles, eight of which entered the Billboard Hot 100, two of those, the self-written, country ... see all copies from $5.20! new only from $16.51!
7	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 $5.00!
8	What Women Want (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The film What Women Want is a fantasy and romantic comedy centered on an advertising executive who loves the 1950s music of Frank Sinatra and embodies some of its "ring-a-ding-ding" attitudes until one of those magical things that happen only in the movies changes his outlook. The character's musical taste drives this various-artists soundtrack ... see all copies from $3.69! new only from $11.06!
9	The Best of Nancy Wilson [EMI] (2001) more music like this by Nancy Wilson see all copies from $4.00! new only from $8.57!
10	16 Most Requested Songs (1986) more music like this by Tony Bennett 16 Most Requested Songs is a nice, budget-priced collection of Tony Bennett's hits that provides an adequate introduction, but it is far from a definitive collection. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.95! new only from $13.34!
11 view cover	I Wanna Be Around... (1963) more music like this by Tony Bennett As the studio album followup to Tony Bennett's breakthrough record, I Left My Heart In San Francisco, I Wanna Be Around had a lot to live up to, but since San Francisco was a culmination of Bennett's development, not a fluke, I Wanna Be Around turned out to be almost on a par with its predecessor. "The Good Life" and "I Wanna Be Around" became Top ... see all copies from $4.00!
12 view cover	Sings His All-Time Hall of Fame Hits (1997) more music like this by Tony Bennett Sings His All-Time Hall of Fame Hits is a 12-track hits compilation focusing primarily on Tony Bennett's 1960s work and allowing him to re-record several numbers using only pianist John Bunch for accompaniment (and to give spoken introductions, including one in which he explains how he found "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" before segueing into ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 view cover	Jazz for the Quiet Times [32 Jazz] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Jazz giants like Jack McDuff, Sonny Stitt, Kenny Burrell, and Bobby Hutcherson all contribute tracks and brush shoulders with jazz middleweights like Wallace Roney, Russell Gunn, and Pat Martino. As the title suggests, the songs are relaxed and the mood is mellow. Although the songs date from well beyond jazz's peak years, the performances are ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.95!
14 view cover	Betty Carter's Finest Hour (2003) more music like this by Betty Carter This collection of Betty Carter's Verve material may not literally be her finest hour of recorded music, but it is easily her finest hour of recordings for the labels associated with Verve, which include not only her later Verve recordings, but also those on ABC from the early 1960s. There are 14 cuts on the set, including such well-known Carter ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
15 view cover	Spotlight on Nancy Wilson [Great Ladies of Song] (1995) more music like this by Nancy Wilson Once again, Capitol finds a way to repackage its vast vocal holdings. Not a bad thing really, especially considering the sheer quality of songs from label swells like Mel Tormé, June Christy, and Peggy Lee, not to mention such low-profile staffers as Keely Smith, Matt Monro, and Margaret Whiting. Well, this time Capitol brings its treasures to the ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.79!
16 view cover	Guess Who I Saw Today: Nancy Wilson Sings Songs of Lost Love (2005) more music like this by Nancy Wilson A song of lost love shouldn't be confused with a torch song. Carrying a torch for someone is a lonely occupation, and torch singers inevitably address only a wall, or a bartender, or perhaps their intended love in absentia . Lost love is a broader lament and can be directed inwardly or outwardly; it can remain alone in its grief or grow ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.61!
17 view cover	The Turnaround! (1965) more music like this by Hank Mobley The Hank Mobley of the Turnaround album was a markedly different one from a few years earlier. This session issued in early 1965 was the product of two different sessions. The first was in March of 1963, immediately after Mobley left the Miles Davis band. Those recordings produced "East of the Village," possibly the greatest example of Mobley's ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
18 view cover	Spotlight on Matt Monro [Great Gentlemen of Song] (1995) more music like this by Matt Monro Spotlight on Matt Monro is an excellent 18-track overview of his recordings for Capitol Records. Although it doesn't contain all of his biggest hits, it does have a represenative sampling of hits and lesser-known gems, making it a good introduction to the vocalist's work. Among the highlights are "My Kind of Girl," "I'm Glad There Is You, " "I'll ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
19 view cover	Loads of Love/Shirley Horn with Horns (1991) more music like this by Shirley Horn Two of pianist/vocalist Shirley Horn's rarest (and earliest) recordings are reissued in full on this single CD. Actually, Horn does not play piano at all, sticking exclusively to vocals, and she had less control over the interpretations (being persuaded to sing some songs at faster-than-usual tempos) than she would later on. The arrangements for ... see all copies from $10.90! new only from $11.88!
20 view cover	Let Me Entertain You (1996) more music like this by Ann-Margret No one would argue that Ann-Marget's principal entertainment skill was as a vocalist. So it may seem a bit finicky to point out that this well-packaged, 21-track retrospective of recordings from the early and mid-'60s actually is not the best anthology of her music. That honor belongs to The Many Moods of Ann-Margret (on the Australian Raven ... see all copies from $8.00!
21 view cover	Today, Tomorrow, Forever (1964) more music like this by Nancy Wilson On Today, Tomorrow, Forever, Nancy Wilson lights up a set of the usual mid-'60s pop standards: "One Note Samba," "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," "Wives and Lovers," "Our Day Will Come," and "On Broadway," among others. They're all good choices for her breathy voice and occasional improvisations, especially "One Note Samba" and "Wives and ... see all copies from $5.85! new only from $10.00!
22 view cover	Incredible! (2000) more music like this by Joey DeFrancesco & Jimmy Smith Incredible! documents a unique musical encounter, the first time that Jimmy Smith has recorded with another organist, the equally great Joey DeFrancesco. First DeFrancesco is heard with his usual trio (with guitarist Paul Bollenbeck and drummer Byron Landham), racing through heated versions of "The Champ," "When You're Smiling," and "Indiana" in ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
23 view cover	The Swinging Side of Bobby Darin (2005) more music like this by Bobby Darin During the early '60s, the Capitol Tower had begun to lose its luster as the home of traditional pop. Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin had departed for Reprise, which soon became the home of pop with recordings from Sinatra and Martin plus Sammy Davis, Jr. One of Capitol's counter moves was to sign Atco's Bobby Darin, who had started as a teen idol ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
24 view cover	Fifty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett (2004) more music like this by Tony Bennett When the first version of this impressive box set was originally released in 1991 (as Forty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett), it put the capstone upon Tony Bennett's remarkable return to prominence by looking back at a legacy that had been overshadowed by that of the colossus Sinatra. The collection methodically traced his career from his ... see all copies from $18.75! new only from $18.75!
25 view cover	Matchstick Men [Original Score] (2003) more music like this by Hans Zimmer Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer delivers an effervescent drink of a score for the Warner Bros. heist flick Matchstick Men. Taking a cue from Amelie scribe Yann Tiersen, Zimmer gives the melody to the accordion, creating a playful sense of place for Nicholas Cage's obsessive-compulsive con man to twitch and fidget in. The main theme sounds like ... see all copies from $16.19! new only from $16.19!
