British producer George Martin, who achieved worldwide fame for his work with The Beatles on Parlophone Records, also actively recorded his own music during the 1960s with George Martin & His Orchestra. The 2016 anthology "Ode To An Oboe Player" collects his 1962–1969 recordings across five discs, aimed at fans of easy listening and instrumental The Beatles arrangements. The collection spans singles, soundtracks, and full-length LPs in the Muzak style, capturing the sophisticated lounge atmosphere of the 1960s, with many tracks making their digital debut.

Frank Sinatra was arguably the most important musical figure of the 20th century, his only real rivals for the title being Elvis Presley and the Beatles. In a professional career lasting 60 years, he demonstrated a remarkable ability to maintain his appeal and pursue his musical goals despite countervailing trends. He came to the fore during the swing era of the 1930s and '40s, helped to define the "sing era" of the '40s and '50s, and continued to attract listeners during the rock era that began in the mid-'50s. He scored his first number one hit in 1940 and was still making million-selling recordings in 1994.

Known for his mariachi-inspired easy listening sound, trumpeter Herb Alpert is one of the most successful instrumental performers in pop history. He is also one of the entertainment industry's canniest businessmen, having co-founded A&M Records – a label that ranks among the most prosperous artist-owned companies ever established – with partner Jerry Moss. Collection includes: The Lonely Bull (1962); South Of The Border (1964); Whipped Cream & Other Delights (1965); !!Going Places!! (1965); What Now My Love (1966); S.R.O (1966); The Beat Of The Brass (1968); Rise (1979); Fandango (1982); Bullish (1984); Keep Your Eye On Me (1987); Classics, Volume 1 (1987); Steppin' Out (Featuring Lani Hall) (2013); In The Mood (2014); Come Fly With Me (2015).

A much-needed look at an overlooked side of the genius of Quincy Jones – not his jazz work, not his productions for famous soul artists, but instead his huge legacy of soundtrack material – a part of Q's career that really took off in the 60s! By the time he started working in films, Jones had already had a decade under his belt as one of the hippest arrangers, leaders, and composers in jazz – and the film business really respected those talents, and allowed Quincy to bring some really fresh styles into play – modes that really opened up the vibe of American cinema, and also paved the way for the funky styles of the 70s! As that decade approached, Jones left behind the cinema to take on some more higher-profile records of his own – but all the charms of those great albums can be found here at their roots – in this stunning collection of soundtrack material, some of which has never been on CD. The package is way more than just a sampler – and includes an album's worth of material from the films The Pawnbroker, Slender Thread, Mirage, The Deadly Affair, In The Heat Of The Night, In Cold Blood, Walk Don't Run, The Italian Job, Lost Man, and John & Mary – plus two versions of the love theme from The Getaway, and a bonus CD with 18 tracks – titled Q's highlights, and featuring tracks from his Mercury records – plus more by Billy Preston, Arthur Prysock, Bill Cosby, Shirley Horn, Letta Mbulu, Toots Thielemans, and others. Even features the "Sanford & Son" and "Ironside" themes!

Released in 2004 on Spain's iconic indie imprint Siesta Records, Sicalyptico is the enchanting second album by singer Rita Calypso (the alter ego of Spanish vocalist Ana Laan). Curated by producer Mateo Guiscafré and arranged by Brazilian music connoisseur Ramón Leal, the album takes its title from "sicalíptico"—a vintage Spanish term for sensual and mildly erotic art. Channeling the lush 1960s A&M Records aesthetic, soft-pop warmth, and breezy bossa nova grooves, Calypso delivers delicate, silk-smooth renditions of forgotten pop gems, swing-era nuggets, and movie themes. Featuring elegant, airy covers of Harry Nilsson's "Wailing of the Willow," Roger Nichols' "The Drifter," and Neal Hefti's "Barefoot in the Park," Sicalyptico stands as a masterclass in retro-lounge sophistication and Iberian sunshine pop.

Anita O'Day Few female singers matched the hard-swinging Anita O'Day for sheer exuberance and skill in all areas of jazz vocals: her splendid improvising, wide range, dynamic tone, and innate sense of rhythm made her one of the most enjoyable singer of the age. O'Day's first appearances in a big band shattered the traditional image of a demure female vocalist by swinging just as hard as the other musicians on the bandstand, best heard on her vocal trading with Roy Eldridge on the Gene Krupa recording "Let Me Off Uptown." After making her solo debut in the mid-'40s, she incorporated bop modernism into her vocals and recorded over a dozen of the best vocal LPs of the era for Verve during the 1950s and '60s.

John Pizzarelli lays it all out in the title of his 2015 album: this tribute to Paul McCartney is designed for play in the smoky late-night hours, when everything turns sweet and mellow. Furthermore, this is a tribute to McCartney, not the Beatles. There isn't a Fab song to be found here, as Pizzarelli focuses entirely on Paul's solo work (for these intents and purposes, this includes Wings records), concentrating on the '70s but also sliding McCartney's Great American Songbook wannabe "My Valentine" into the mix. Pizzarelli digs up a few other obscurities – the early Wings song "Some People Never Know," the Speed of Sound deep cut "Warm and Beautiful" – and he also plays around with expectations, making "Let 'Em In" swing like mad and relaxing "Hi Hi Hi" so it doesn't rock, it grooves. He also invites Michael McDonald to sing on "Coming Up," which swaggers like Sinatra in Vegas, but for as delightful as that is, the key to the record's success is Pizzarelli himself, who delivers upon the laid-back promise of the title but is savvier than he needed to be, which is why Midnight McCartney satisfies.

Released in 2014 on the archival UK reissue label Él Records, Playboy Themes is an expansive 28-track collection celebrating the suave, sophisticated mid-century lounge and soundtrack legacy of legendary composer and arranger Henry Mancini. Highlighting Mancini's pivotal late-1950s and early-1960s prime, the compilation gathers smooth bachelor-pad jazz, cool TV themes, and award-winning film music that came to define the era's stylish aesthetic. Featured alongside the iconic title piece "Playboy's Theme" are timeless Mancini classics including "Mr. Lucky," the lush exotica masterpiece "Lujon," "Dreamsville," "Experiment In Terror," "Baby Elephant Walk," and his Oscar-winning themes "Moon River" (from Breakfast at Tiffany's) and "The Days Of Wine And Roses." Blending cool jazz brass, silky string arrangements, and breezy melodies, this 79-minute collection is an essential archive of 1960s pop culture, film history, and easy listening elegance.

Loose and spontaneous, this (mainly) live album is a meeting of three of the greatest guitarists in the world for an acoustic summit the likes of which the guitar-playing community rarely sees. Broken up into three duo and two trio performances, Friday Night in San Francisco catches all three players at the peaks of their quite formidable powers.
