Buy Now	To Be Free (more) »rank: 545 by: Nina Simone :Album Description:Nina Simone was one of those controversial figures American pop music puts forward from time to time, with the notable exception that she started her controversy earlier in the 1960s than, say, Bob Dylan. To see this African-American woman get angry about the racial situation in her country, right there on stage, was a shock to people who'd come to hear her sing 'I Loves You, Porgy.' Not that she cared; she figured that it was the artist's job to deliver the truth, and if the truth hurt, so be it. Of course, events wound up proving her right, but she never ...	Buy Now	The Very Best of Nat King Cole (more) »rank: 1162 by: Nat King Cole, Nat King Cole : : Commemorating the 40th anniversary of Nat King Cole's death in 1965, this compilation is the CD companion of an excellent DVD/documentary. Produced with the blessing of his estate, this disc is a thorough survey of his timeless genius--all recorded on the Capitol label. It captures his sumptuous and soothing tenor voice crooning on the pop tunes he made famous, like the ethereal 'Nature Boy,' the melancholy 'Mona Lisa,' and the bouncy 'Straighten Up and Fly Right,' and 'Route 66.' It also features Cole's often-overlooked skills as an Earl Hines-style pianist. 'Quizas, Quizas, Quizas (Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps),' and 'Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup,' ...
Buy Now	A Wonderful World (more) »rank: 1106 by: Tony Bennett, k.d. lang : :Never mind the project's odd couple, 'He's got a girlfriend; so does she' marketing shuck. This is a musical love affair in all its splendor. Produced by the seemingly chameleonic producer T Bone Burnett (who previously revived traditional bluegrass with spectacular success on O Brother, Where Art Thou?), the septuagenarian legend and his unlikely contemporary foil affectionately court a dozen songs from the Louis Armstrong repertoire with the warmth and natural grace that have been a deceptively effortless Bennett trademark for 50-plus years. The pair kick proceedings off with a playful, irony-free 'Exactly Like You,' then perform a tender vocal waltz across both ...	Buy Now	Miracles: The Holiday Album (more) »rank: 863 by: Kenny G : essential recording:Kenny G's 1994 album of economically arranged standards, which also happens to include Brahms's 'Lullaby' and his own 'The Chanukah Song,' pales in comparison to his other holiday record, the highly creative and memorable Faith. That said, Miracles will appeal to some for its easy (some would say lazy) jazz renderings on G's soprano horn. The most inventive thing on the CD is a witty reading of 'Greensleeves' wedded to Dave Brubeck's 'Take 5.' For sheer commercial appeal and enough romantic notes to keep the fireside roaring, Kenny G will make a good Santa for his many, many fans. --Martin Keller
Buy Now	Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album (more) »rank: 820 by: Tony Bennett :Album Description:Talk about smooth! Tony Bennett is the very definition of the word. Snowfall practically renders every other version of the songs included here null and void. Even 'White Christmas' sounds better in Tony's hands than it did in Bing's. It could be because Bennett's warmth extends not only from the quality of those pipes but his delivery. How many other grown men do you know who could get away with 'My Favorite Things'? But it goes without saying that the collection's finest moments come when the crooner takes the romantic lead, with 'I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm' and 'I'll ...

Buy Now	Upojenie (more) »rank: 1922 by: Pat Metheny & Anna Maria Jopek : :The 2002 album Upojenie, now being released domestically for the first time, may be Pat Metheny's most unique and, for many listeners, least well-known project. The guitarist collaborates with popular Polish singer and keyboardist Anna Maria Jopek backed by a group of Polish musicians.	Buy Now	Sinatra at the Sands (more) »rank: 1609 by: Frank Sinatra with Count Basie & the Orchestra : :Pop this on, close your eyes, and you'll be instantly transported back to the Vegas of 1966. The Sands Hotel was still the 'class joint' where Sinatra and his Rat Pack buddies partied, held court, and occasionally even performed. This priceless document (Sinatra's first official live album) captures the Chairman of the Board in performance mode, ably supported by conductor-arranger Quincy Jones and Count Basie and his Orchestra. The set list comprises 16 Sinatra classics--including 'Come Fly with Me,' 'One for My Baby (And One More for the Road),' 'It Was a Very Good Year,' and 'Angel Eyes'--along with two Basie instrumentals and ...
