1	Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday (2001) more music like this by Billie Holiday Forget for a moment that The Best of Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday was tied into the release of the superb box set, Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia, thereby offering a bit of advertisement to the full-fledged set. That doesn't matter -- even if there was never a box set, this would have been a welcome addition to Billie ... see all copies from $11.74! new only from $15.21!
2	Lady Sings the Blues [Original Soundtrack] (1972) more music like this by Diana Ross/Original Soundtrack Her biggest album as a solo act, Diana Ross forever ended any association with the Supremes after this film. She not only got an Oscar nomination and more roles, she really did capture the spirit and flavor, if not the sound and timbre, of Billie Holiday's music; her performance was the film's only saving grace. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.25! new only from $7.64!
3	The Very Best of Nancy Wilson: The Capitol Recordings 1960-1976 (2007) more music like this by Nancy Wilson The career of Nancy Wilson has been compiled many times and in many ways, but never like this. Focusing in-depth on her Capitol recordings during the 15 years of her prime, this three-disc set is a wonderful collection for those who appreciate Wilson's ability to combine Broadway power and finesse with jazz rhythm (and a certain degree of ... see all copies from $22.24! new only from $22.24!
4	Something Wonderful (1960) more music like this by Nancy Wilson This fine album was sadly lost in the shuffle when it was released the same year as another Nancy Wilson album, The Swingin's Mutual!, her highly successful collaboration with the George Shearing Quintet. This is a shame, because Something Wonderful is one of Wilson's best albums and her tastiest with famed big-band arranger Billy May. Only 23 ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $6.50!
5	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Billie Holiday In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $4.62!
6	On Holiday (1996) more music like this by Tony Bennett see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.00!
7	Billie's Best (1992) more music like this by Billie Holiday There is no end in sight to the debate over Billie Holiday's career as a vocalist: Is the essence of her art to be found in her early recordings for Columbia or in the recordings she made for Verve at the end of her short and, by all accounts, miserable life? The early work finds her in clearer voice and singing with energy and conviction, while ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.92!
8	Lady in Autumn: The Best of the Verve Years (1946) more music like this by Billie Holiday There are many jazz lovers, even dedicated ones, who cannot afford to part with the 150 dollars or so that the ten-disc Complete Billie Holiday on Verve commands, so this two-disc distillation will do very nicely as a detailed summary of her troubled, soulful Verve period. Set out in chronological order with a mighty overreaching sweep, this mini ... see all copies from $5.12! new only from $19.26!
9	Standard Time (2001) more music like this by Steve Tyrell Steve Tyrell has had a long journeyman's career in the music business, serving as record company executive, songwriter, and producer. But no one could have predicted the twist his career took in the late '90s. After he sang standards on the soundtracks of the films Father of the Bride (1991) and Father of the Bride 2 (1995), he was signed up by ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $7.70!
10	Jazz at the Philharmonic (1946) more music like this by Billie Holiday see all copies from $6.60! new only from $9.08!
11 view cover	Miki Sings Billie (1993) more music like this by Miki Howard Miki Howard tries her hand at jazz repertory with this Billie Holiday tribute album. Howard was smart enough to sing the songs in her own style rather than try to emulate Holiday. Howard mostly scores on this disc, turning in fine, sometimes triumphant performances on "Solitude," "My Man" and "Don't Explain." Only on "Strange Fruit" does she miss ... see all copies from $1.99!
12 view cover	Gold (2005) more music like this by Billie Holiday Hip-O's 2004 two-CD and one-DVD compilation The Ultimate Collection set a new standard for Billie Holiday retrospectives. It boasted not only a strong selection of songs, but also material from all of her scattered labels (Brunswick, Decca, Commodore, Verve) and it stood, in effect, as the first best-of compilation capable of living up to its ... see all copies from $4.18! new only from $6.41!
13 view cover	Blueprint of a Lady: Sketches of Billie Holiday (2005) more music like this by Nnenna Freelon see all copies from $4.79! new only from $13.69!
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 $8.35! new only from $8.35!
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 $10.55!
16 view cover	Stolen Moments: The Lady Sings...Jazz & Blues (1993) more music like this by Diana Ross On December 4, 1992, Diana Ross took the stage of the Ritz Theatre in New York for a concert commemorating her appearance as Billie Holiday in the film biography Lady Sings the Blues 20 years before. She was backed by an A-list of jazz musicians, and her set list consisted of jazz and pop standards from the 1920s, '30s, and '40s, most of them ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.00!
17 view cover	The Ultimate Collection (2005) more music like this by Billie Holiday Although the title could only have been coined by a marketing department, The Ultimate Collection deserves the highest of praise. It is not only the first American compilation to survey Billie Holiday's entire 25-year career -- and astutely, at that -- but it also includes a DVD that presents the lion's share of her film and TV appearances, a full ... see all copies from $29.87! new only from $29.87!
18 view cover	The Great American Songbook (2005) more music like this by Nancy Wilson The Great American Songbook has many top-drawer interpreters, but Nancy Wilson is rarely spoken of in the same breath as Ella Fitzgerald or Dinah Washington or Frank Sinatra or Mel Tormé. The reason lies less with her talents, which are sizeable, and more with her orientation, which fits the show tunes concept of putting the song across with ... see all copies from $17.74! new only from $17.74!
19 view cover	Greatest Hits [Columbia/Legacy] (1998) more music like this by Billie Holiday There's something scandalous about the fact that this 13-song CD is, as of spring 2000, the only upgrade to date of Columbia Records' holdings on Billie Holiday. It's good as far as it goes, as part of Sony Music's 20-bit remastering of the highlights of its jazz catalog, but it makes one wonder how long listeners have to wait for the nine volumes ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $6.94!
20 view cover	Lady Day: The Master Takes and Singles (2007) more music like this by Billie Holiday Billie Holiday's story is so huge, her artistry so vast, and her impact so incalculable, that even attempting to corral a representative sampling of it within a single collection of recordings is an overwhelming, perhaps foolhardy task. Many have tried, of course, and literally hundreds of options of varying quality and legitimacy, scattered ... see all copies from $27.60! new only from $42.74!
21 view cover	People Will Say We're in Love (2007) more music like this by Nicki Parrott/Rossano Sportiello Nicki Parrott and Rossano Sportiello form an intimate team on People Will Say We're in Love, delivering a long set list with no more than piano (Sportiello) and bass/vocals (Parrott). The set warms up and introduces the duo with spry instrumental takes on Tom McIntosh's "The Cup Bearers" and Sportiello's "Blues for Basie." The spare setting allows ... see all copies from $10.33! new only from $10.33!
22 view cover	Billie Holiday: The Legacy Box 1933-1958 (1933) more music like this by Billie Holiday The logic behind this sampler is puzzling. Rather than reissue the very best of Billie Holiday's Columbia recordings on a three-CD box set or a package of her rare alternate takes, CBS tries it both ways by including 60 common selections already available in the Quintessential series along with 10 rarities that were either unissued or alternates. ... see all copies from $9.50!
23 view cover	The Complete Billie Holiday on Verve 1945-1959 (1945) more music like this by Billie Holiday This is a rather incredible collection: ten CDs enclosed in a tight black box that includes every one of the recordings Verve owns of Billie Holiday, not only the many studio recordings of 1952-57 (which feature Lady Day joined by such jazz all-stars as trumpeters Charlie Shavers and Harry "Sweets" Edison, altoist Benny Carter, and the tenors of ... see all copies from $77.63! new only from $148.22!
24 view cover	Very Thought of You (2007) more music like this by Emilie-Claire Barlow see all copies from $23.30! new only from $23.30!
25 view cover	The Lady Sings [Proper] (2001) more music like this by Billie Holiday The digital marketplace contains a large number of Billie Holiday compilations with the phrase "Lady Sings" in the title. The one you are looking for is surprisingly inexpensive and intelligently presented. The Proper label specializes in affordably priced box sets that contain enough music -- usually around 100 tracks -- to impart a strong ... see all copies from $32.00! new only from $42.65!
