1	Great Times! Piano Duets with Billy Strayhorn (1950) more music like this by Duke Ellington w/ Billy Strayhorn This CD reissues three unusual combo dates by Duke Ellington.

3	The Peaceful Side (1961) more music like this by Billy Strayhorn This is a little-known and rather melancholy set, virtually Billy Strayhorn's only recording away from the world of Duke Ellington.

Three selections have the Paris Blue ... see all copies from $24.85!
4	Lush Life: The Billy Strayhorn Songbook (1950) more music like this by Various Artists As an informal soundtrack for his revealing biography of Billy Strayhorn, Lush Life, David Hajdu selected and annotated the tracks for this rambling dig through the PolyGram archives. In doing so, Hajdu ranges far afield in date and idiom, yet the overall impression is amazingly consistent Strayhorn as an elegant yet haunted musical figure whose ... see all copies from $7.12!

6	Classic Jazz Piano (1927) more music like this by Various Artists While horn players often get most the glory, jazz pianists include in their ranks some of the music's most important figures: From Fats Waller and Art Tatum to Bud Powell and Bill Evans, the jazz keyboard community has forged some of the most interesting and enjoyable jazz advances since the '20s. Bluebird pays tribute here with a generous ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $29.95!
7	Cue for Saxophone (1959) more music like this by Billy Strayhorn's Septet Composer/arranger/pianist Billy Strayhorn led surprisingly few sessions throughout his career, and this was only his second full-length album. Actually, the main star is altoist Johnny Hodges (who goes here under the pseudonym of "Cue Porter"), while Strayhorn (who plays piano on the seven songs) only co-wrote two basic tunes ("Cue's Blue Now" and ... see all copies from $20.00!
8	Jazz Piano Anthology: Swingers (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Featuring giants of the swing, bebop, and hard bop eras, Jazz Piano Anthology: Swingers offers up a bevy of delights from Duke Ellington to Kenny Barron.

12 view cover	Billy Strayhorn: Lush Life (2007) more music like this by Billy Strayhorn Despite his crucial role in 20th century jazz and popular music as a songwriter, musician and arranger, Billy Strayhorn is still too often seen as a postscript to the Duke Ellington story -- the two collaborated for nearly three decades. If Strayhorn had done nothing else but compose Ellington's theme "Take the 'A' Train" (oddly absent from this ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
