With unforgettable melodies and pulsating rhythms that are impossible to resist, Antonio Carlos Jobim virtually defined bossa nova. Everything Jobim wrote, played or sang was for lovers. Here are some of the finest examples.

A Big Band is a type of musical ensemble associated with playing jazz music and which became popular during the Swing Era from the early 1930s until the late 1940s. Big Bands evolved with the times and continue to today.
This set includes: Glenn Miller - Pennsylvania 6-5000; Tommy Dorsey - Chicago; Count Basie - Jumpin' At The Woodside, a.o.

Nicknamed Lady Day by her sometimes collaborator Lester Young, Holiday was a seminal influence on jazz and pop singing. This 3 CD set contains more than 40 tracks, incl. Lover Man, Don't Explain, Foolin' Myself, a.o.

One of the most immediately recognisable -and, on account of its vibrato, most imitated- of the jazz-singers, during the mid-1940s the personable Billy Eckstine evolved from would-be bebop bandleader and promoter into the sartorially elegant Mr B, the first real Afro-American pop idol, a black star who appealed directly to both black and white audiences in an era when it was radical rather than commonplace to do so.

To call Bobby McFerrin a jazz vocalist does not give him all the recognition he deserves. His debut album was released in 1982, with a.o a striking reworking of Van Morrison's Moondance and others pop classics and by 1983 he had refined his individual solo style and became renowned for his concerts where he uses physical movements as well as vocal talents, using his body as a sound box in tune with his instruments. This CD contains Don't Worry Be Happy, Drive, Walkin'.

This euphoric and extroverted singer/bandleader succeeded Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club. With his signature white tuxedo and hep jive lingo, Cabell Calloway—the “Hi De Ho Man”—made “Minnie the Moocher” his calling card.

Cleo Laine's diversity is such that she is the only female performer to have received Grammy nominations in the jazz, popular music and classical categories, proof of her widespread appeal and success.

As one of the titles says, The Lady Sings the Blues.... and jazz, and pop, and more...

This collection features: On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, The Look of Love, Stormy Weather, a.o.

Come Fly With Me, as this wonderfully engaging collection of songs illustrating the theme of world travel was titled, is a continuation of the brilliant series of thematically-organized albums Frank Sinatra had begun shortly after signing with Capitol Records in 1953. I Love Paris, Isle of Capri, Around the World, Brazil, On the Road to Mandelay a.o.
