1	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program is the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, its 94 selections covering the history ... see all copies from $39.99! new only from $51.23!
2	The Best of Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program was the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, which was augmented by no less than 22 ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.99!
3	The Only Big Band CD You'll Ever Need (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist While the title alone would seem to invite criticism, it's a justified tag, as this 20-track collection rounds up some pretty serious contenders. Kicking off with Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo," Benny Goodman's "Stompin' at the Savoy," and Duke Ellington's "Take the 'A' Train," the set includes signature tunes from Woody Herman, Artie Shaw ... see all copies from $6.68! new only from $6.68!
4	The Fabulous Swing Collection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Fabulous Swing Collection offers 19 classic swing hits from the likes of Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Fletcher Henderson, Charlie Barnet, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, and Artie Shaw. There's nothing rare on the compilation, so it's not necessary for collectors, but it's not a bad sampler for casual listeners who want these hits ... see all copies from $2.53! new only from $6.83!
5	Those Were Our Songs: Music of World War II (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist World War II and big-band pop-era compilations are released almost as regularly as Christmas albums, and the glut has caused more harm than good; it seems any good ones are quickly swallowed up by the racks full of short, ill-advised, uninformative collections. Though any single label could never do justice to the war years, with a little clever ... see all copies from $12.99! new only from $14.49!
6	The Very Best of Benny Goodman (2000) more music like this by Benny Goodman add to wishlist The Benny Goodman library hasn't been well treated by RCA-BMG, especially in the area of mid-priced compilations -- there were too many reissues done in the late '80s and early '90s, before the advent of 20-bit and 24-bit mastering and other high-resolution digital formats, that really make a difference on those old analog masters. The result is a ... see all copies from $4.55! new only from $4.55!
7	Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 collects more early-'40s pop favorites like Dinah Shore's "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," Roy Rogers' "San Fernando Valley," and Johnny Mercer's "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe." More overtly war-themed songs such as Buddy Johnson & His Orchestra's "When My Man Comes Home," Louis Jordan's "Ration ... see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
8	The Essential Benny Goodman [Bluebird/Legacy] (2007) more music like this by Benny Goodman add to wishlist One of at least seven entirely different compilations that brandish the word "Essential" in their titles, this double-disc anthology of 40 classic swing performances actually does convey the essence of Benny Goodman, and is therefore highly recommended. The recordings, most of them cut in the Victor and Columbia studios between 1934 and 1945, are ... see all copies from $10.08! new only from $15.18!
9	Complete Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall Concert 1938 (2006) more music like this by Benny Goodman add to wishlist see all copies from $11.96! new only from $16.99!
10	We'll Meet Again: The Love Songs of World War II (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A two-disc set of American popular music from 1941 to 1945, We'll Meet Again compiles many of the era's biggest love songs, all informed by the war experience. Performers include Bing Crosby, the Mills Brothers, Benny Goodman and the Ink Spots. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.08!
11	Live at Carnegie Hall: 1938 Complete (1999) more music like this by Benny Goodman add to wishlist Benny Goodman's January 16, 1938, Carnegie Hall concert is considered the single most important jazz or popular music concert in history: jazz's "coming out" party to the world of "respectable" music, held right in that throne room of musical respectability, Carnegie Hall. The 1950-vintage three-album set from the concert only solidified its ... see all copies from $4.56! new only from $7.35!
12	The Benny Goodman Story [Capitol] (2001) more music like this by Benny Goodman add to wishlist Consumer advisory: In 1955, Universal Pictures released The Benny Goodman Story, starring Steve Allen. Goodman himself played the music in the film (which consisted of re-recordings of his old hits), rounding up such former band members as Harry James, Martha Tilton, and Lionel Hampton, and a successful soundtrack LP was issued by Decca. But ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $7.35!
13	The Complete Recordings 1941-1947 (1999) more music like this by Peggy Lee & Benny Goodman add to wishlist Although the whole collection ranges across six years, 32 of the 35 cuts on this two-CD set were recorded within a year of Peggy Lee's joining Benny Goodman's band, and the vast majority within a six month period through the winter of 1942. It is possible during that span to hear Lee evolve from a competent but scarcely confident vocalist ("Elmer ... see all copies from $15.18! new only from $15.18!
14	Trio and Quartet Showcase (2007) more music like this by Benny Goodman add to wishlist Although Benny Goodman was best known for his star vocalists and big band, it is his small group recordings that stand the test of time as unadulterated jazz with no frills. Primo Records provides proof in the form of 38 classic swing performances recorded between 1935 and 1938 by Goodman's trio and quartet, with pianist Teddy Wilson, drummer Gene ... see all copies from $9.41! new only from $9.41!
15	B.G. in Hi-Fi (1954) more music like this by Benny Goodman add to wishlist On this all-around excellent CD, Benny Goodman performs a dozen selections (mostly Fletcher Henderson arrangements) with a big band filled with sympathetic players in 1954 and eight other numbers with a pair of smaller units that also feature pianist Mel Powell and either Charlie Shavers or Ruby Braff on trumpets. Although the big-band era had ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.79!
16	The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz, Vol. 1-5 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz is itself somewhat of a classic, referred to in many books, and used as the main learning source in at least one. If you don't know what you like in jazz and are looking for a well-put-together introduction, this set is a good bet. It starts with ragtime's Scott Joplin, and proceeds through Bessie Smith, ... see all copies from $26.20!
17	Pure Jazz [Polygram] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Though it's part of the Pure series, Verve's Pure Jazz almost seems more as part of the Ken Burns Jazz multi-disc series, especially since it was released during that documentary's airing on PBS. Any of the tie-in discs to Ken Burns Jazz were designed to give an overview, either of an artist or an entire jazz style, while Pure Jazz is designed to ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $7.95!
18	Yule B Swingin' Too (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A hoppin' visit from Saint Nick via some of his happier elves, Yule B Swingin' Too is the second release in a series of vocal jazz holiday albums from Hip-O Records. Having released some real classics on the first volume, this edition suffers a little, but several tracks really shine: Ann Margaret and Al Hirt's take on "Baby It's Cold Outside" is ... see all copies from $3.55! new only from $9.44!
19	Fabulous Big Band Collection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The most famous songs by the most famous big bands that have ever been. Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Glen Miller, and a host of others on down the line are represented. Not all these takes are the original, definitive versions (Woody Herman's "Four Brothers" being recorded as late as 1976), but most listeners will enjoy them regardless. ~ Jim ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20	Greatest Hits [Bridge] (1996) more music like this by Benny Goodman add to wishlist Highly misleading title, but some valuable material. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.06!
21	An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955) (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This two-CD set is an unusually successful sampler. Although there are a few hits among the 40 selections, many obscurities are also included, and not all of the big bands represented are major names, such as Tiny Bradshaw, Noble Sissle, Spud Murphy, Teddy Powell and Jan Savitt. The emphasis is very much on jazz, and this worthy reissue is ... see all copies from $10.63! new only from $10.63!
22	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Benny Goodman add to wishlist Benny Goodman's volume in the Ken Burns Jazz series ranges from one of his first recording appearances, on a 1927 side by Ben Pollack, all the way to the late '50s. Of the 22 tracks, there are many highlights including "Body and Soul" from his trio (with Teddy Wilson and Gene Krupa), plus two songs from his legendary 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $4.07!
23	The Most Fabulous Christmas Album Ever (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist RCA Victor's Most Fabulous Christmas Album Ever collects 21 of the label's most memorable holiday songs. From Spike Jones' "My Two Front Teeth" to Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby" to Perry Como's "Home for the Holidays," the album includes many definitive versions of Christmas classics. Glenn Miller's "Jingle Bells," Kate Smith's "It's Beginning to Look ... see all copies from $2.08! new only from $2.08!
24	Trio Quartet Quintet/Together Again (2001) more music like this by Benny Goodman add to wishlist In 2001, Collectables released Trio Quartet Quintet/Together Again, which combined two albums by Benny Goodman on one compact disc: Trio Quartet Quintet (1956) and Together Again (1963), both originally issued on RCA. ~ Tim Sendra, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.57! new only from $10.57!
25	From Spirituals to Swing: Carnegie Hall Concerts, 1938-1939 [3 CD Set] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $23.97! new only from $23.97!
