1	Where Are You? (1957) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Following the hard-driving A Swingin' Affair, Frank Sinatra released another all-ballads record, Where Are You? The album was the first he recorded at Capitol without Nelson Riddle, as well as the first he recorded in stereo. Where Riddle's down beat albums are stately and sullen, Jenkins favors lush, melancholy arrangements played by large, ... see all copies from $3.59! new only from $12.19!
2	The Capitol Years [3-CD] (1990) more music like this by Frank Sinatra see all copies from $15.74! new only from $34.53!
3	Natural (2003) more music like this by Celso Fonseca This will look like a debut album to most Americans, but it is, in fact, Celso Fonseca's fifth solo effort, not counting his many collaborations and supporting gigs with the likes of Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Bebel Gilberto, not to mention such American luminaries as Carlos Santana and jazzman Charles Lloyd. On Natural, Fonseca is not ... see all copies from $8.24! new only from $15.05!
4	The Ballad Style of Stan Kenton (1958) more music like this by Stan Kenton Stan Kenton's early arrangements set the tone for his orchestra, but through the years, he generally farmed out the writing chores to other talented arrangers who could move the big band forward. However, he did arrange occasional ballad charts, and this 1958 album (reissued on CD in 1997) showcases Kenton's writing. The Ballad Style of Stan ... see all copies from $7.15! new only from $10.79!
5	Something Cool (1953) more music like this by June Christy June Christy's classic Something Cool has been expanded from 11 songs to 24 on this essential CD with two unreleased cuts and six songs only previously out as singles. Christy's attractive "cool" tone was a trademark of jazz in the 1950s, her version of "Something Cool" remains a classic, and many of the other numbers are nearly as memorable. ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $21.99!
6	The Sound of the Trio (1961) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Those who consider themselves Oscar Peterson completists should be aware of The London House Sessions, a generous five-CD set that focuses exclusively on the Peterson Trio's 1961 engagement at Chicago's London House. However, completists are the only ones who would want to invest in this collection; others would be better off with individual CDs ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.71!
7	Embraceable You (1957) more music like this by Chet Baker A ballad collection that emphasizes Chet Baker's troubled-romantic vocal style, it's not too surprising that these 1957 recordings remained in the vaults for almost 40 years. For one thing, Baker's delicate tenor, having won the hearts of thousands of teenage fans, was considered somewhat of a novelty to most critics. For another, his guitar-and ... see all copies from $5.65! new only from $10.79!
8	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 $10.87! new only from $10.87!
9	Sure Thing (2001) more music like this by Nancy Marano Nancy Marano's magical voice has reached a new peak with Sure Thing. Recording with separate groups on the East Coast and West Coast, she covers a wide range of material, including standards, overlooked gems, and strong jazz compositions as well. Marano also wrote most of the arrangements herself, co-wrote the lyrics with Duncan Lamont to "Very ... see all copies from $11.24!
10	London House Sessions (1961) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Oscar Peterson's week-long engagement at Chicago's London House was initially partially released as four LPs: The Trio, The Sound of the Trio, Put On a Happy Face and Something Warm. This five-CD set greatly expands upon the program, reissuing the four albums and 30 previously unissued selections. Peterson, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen ... see all copies from $140.00!
11 view cover	Deep Summer Music (2000) more music like this by Jim Ferguson Regrettably, male vocalists have become a minority in the jazz world. For every talented male jazz singer who emerged in the 1980s or 1990s (Kurt Elling, Kevin Mahogany, Lou Lanza, Giacomo Gates, Allan Harris, among others), there were countless female singers. So whenever a male jazz vocalist records a CD, one tends to sit up and take notice. Jim ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.00!
12 view cover	Angel Eyes (1962) more music like this by Dave Brubeck As with Dave Brubeck's Richard Rodgers set (My Favorite Things), his tribute to composer Matt Dennis was recorded partly in 1962 with the remainder three years later. Each of these seven standards (which include "Let's Get Away from It All," "Violets for Your Furs" and "Will You Still Be Mine?") are given superior and swinging treatments with fine ... see all copies from $18.01!
13 view cover	Horns of Plenty, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Stan Kenton The second of three double CDs in this series has a disc from Stan Kenton's 1961 Mellophonium Orchestra (heard during two different engagements) and a concert from the University of North Texas Neophonic Orchestra under the direction of Leon Breeden in 1966. Ironically the Kenton performances are mostly of standards and are concise while the ... see all copies from $17.28! new only from $17.28!
14 view cover	The Arranger's Touch (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $23.04! new only from $23.04!
15 view cover	Cal Tjader Quartet (1956) more music like this by Cal Tjader Vibraphonist Cal Tjader took a brief vacation from playing Afro-Cuban jazz to record this fine straight-ahead bop set. The 1997 CD reissue matches Tjader with the underrated but always swinging pianist Gerald Wiggins, bassist Eugene Wright (shortly before he joined Dave Brubeck's Quartet) and drummer Bill Douglass. They perform four basic ... see all copies from $4.60!
16 view cover	The Ballad Collection (2000) more music like this by June Christy see all copies from $8.95!
17 view cover	Lullaby in Rhythm (2002) more music like this by Stephanie Nakasian Stephanie Nakasian has long been a well-respected singer, but one who has not been given half the recognition that she deserves. However, this CD is quite definitive, a tribute to June Christy. Nakasian had been a major hit at a West Coast jazz convention/festival a few years earlier, singing songs associated with Christy and sometimes sounding ... see all copies from $9.15! new only from $9.15!
18 view cover	Concepts (1992) more music like this by Frank Sinatra More of an investment than a conventional box set, Concepts is a 16-disc collection of Frank Sinatra's Capitol concept albums. Housed in a wooden box, the set contains every one of his original studio albums for the label, as well as the instrumental Frank Sinatra Conducts Tone Poems of Color, which was previously unavailable on compact disc. ... see all copies from $310.28! new only from $310.28!
19 view cover	Bold Conceptions (1962) more music like this by Bob James From the first powerful kick of "A Moment's Notice," it's clear this is not the Bob James of the Taxi TV theme, the fusion-flavored Fourplay group, or the smooth pop albums done with Earl Klugh and David Sanborn. This is the original Bob James -- his very first album, in fact, recorded at age 22 (and produced by Quincy Jones) as a prize for ... see all copies from $55.58!
20 view cover	An American Legend [5 CD Box] more music like this by Frank Sinatra see all copies from $28.57! new only from $30.89!
21	Velvet Moods (2006) more music like this by Mel Tormé & the Mel-Tones Velvet Moods is a bit of an all-over-the-place compilation of 27 tracks Mel Tormé recorded near the outset of his recording career between 1946-1955. But it does give a good idea of the singer's versatility during this period, encompassing crooned pop; jazz, including four 1950 recordings with the Red Norvo Trio (who also had guitarist Tal Farlow ... see all copies from $4.42! new only from $17.77!
22 view cover	Lennie Niehaus, Vol. 2: Zounds! (1954) more music like this by The Lennie Niehaus Octet! This formerly rare Contemporary set was reissued on a 1997 OJC CD. Lennie Niehaus, best known for his scores for Clint Eastwood films in the 1980s and '90s, was an excellent cool-toned bop altoist back in the '50s who spent time working with Stan Kenton. For this album, he is heard on two different occasions providing arrangements and alto solos ... see all copies from $12.20! new only from $12.20!
23 view cover	Plays and Sings Matt Dennis (1958) more music like this by Matt Dennis Recorded at the Tally-Ho in Hollywood, Matt Dennis Plays and Sings Matt Dennis is a program of what visitors to his supper-club sets could expect from one of the best lounge singers in an era before the term became a dirty word. Accompanying himself on the piano with bass and drums for backing, Dennis sings 12 of his own tunes, including an ... see all copies from $53.36! new only from $53.36!
24 view cover	Prince of Cool (2004) more music like this by Chet Baker Prince of Cool collects most of the sides the young trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker recorded for the fledgling Pacific Jazz label from 1952 to 1957. These are the recordings that defined Baker's career and largely created the aura of Baker the jazz idol. On these three discs -- separated into "Chet Sings," "Chet Plays," and "Chet & Friends" -- we ... see all copies from $34.53! new only from $34.53!
25 view cover	Jazz Scene: San Francisco (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This CD consists of the music formerly included on the albums Modern Music From San Francisco and Charlie Mariano Sextet. The former LP features three overlapping groups of musicians who were mostly based in San Francisco in the mid-'50s, with pianist Sonny Clark being a ringer. The Vince Guaraldi Quartet, the Ron Crotty Trio, and Jerry Dodgion's ... see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!
