2	Oscillatin' Rhythm: Great Swing Hits in Hi-Fi (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Blue Note designed Oscillatin' Rhythm: Great Swing Hits in Hi-Fi to appeal to Gen-X hipsters enamored with Sinatra, martinis, lounge music, cigars and Swingers. Unfortunately, the label didn't quite understand that the twentysomethings were celebrating the kitsch of '50s easy listening and the suave humor of the Rat Pack -- the music, in most ... see all copies from $7.99!
3	An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955) (1931) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $25.19! new only from $25.19!
4	Casa Loma Stomp (1929) more music like this by Casa Loma Orchestra Although the later versions of the Casa Loma Orchestra were better-known, the big band was an early pacesetter during the late '20s/early '30s when (particularly among white orchestra) there were few competitors. This album from the Scottish Hep label has the orchestra's 14 best recordings out of the 21 that they cut during their first six ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
5	More Sounds of the Great Swing Bands (2002) more music like this by Glen Gray & The Casa Loma Orchestra These recordings are taken from the first generation of big band stereo re-creations, a program undertaken by Capitol Records in the late '50s that continued into the early '60s. The purpose was to provide accurate renderings of big band favorites of the 1930s and 1940s in stereo sound. Some original bandleaders, such as Harry James and Artie Shaw ... see all copies from $9.50! new only from $13.96!
6	Golden Greats: Greatest Swing (2002) more music like this by Various Artists This is a three-CD budget collection of many great swing tunes performed by the biggest names in swing music.

9	Best of the Brunswick Years 1932-1934 (2004) more music like this by Glen Gray & the Casa Loma Orchestra After the Casa Loma Orchestra reorganized around Glen Gray in 1929, they relocated from Detroit to New York City and hit the big time with a residency at the Roseland Ballroom and twin recording contracts, one from OKeh (as the Casa Loma Orchestra) and another from Victor (with Glen Gray added to the masthead). By 1935, they had topped the Hit ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
10	Sounds of the Great Bands! (1958) more music like this by Casa Loma Orchestra One of the first of Glen Gray's series of albums that revisit the hits of the swing era in hi-fi, this set features a 17-piece band filled with top studio players, many of whom had come to maturity during the swing era.

12 view cover	Uncollected Glen Gray & the Casa Loma Orchestra, Vol. 1 (1939-1940) [Hindsight #2] (1939) more music like this by Glen Gray & the Casa Loma Orchestra This Hindsight LP, which consists of radio transcriptions from 1939-1940, puts the emphasis on the jazz side of the Casa Loma Orchestra; the 16 numbers only contain two Kenny Sargent vocals and just one from Pee Wee Hunt. Among the most interesting selections are a "new" rendition of the band's theme song, "Smoke Rings," "Hindustan," "No-Name Jive ... see all copies from $4.95!

15 view cover	Columbia Jazz Masterpiece Series: 1930s Big Band (193?) more music like this by Various Artists If this 16-song collection had been done a decade later, some of the cuts here might sound slightly cleaner, sharper, and richer -- but they still sound okay, and overall this is a fine sampler of jazz highlights from the Okeh, Columbia, Vocalion, and Brunswick labels. Stuck in among the big names -- such as Duke Ellington ("Lazy Rhapsody," with ... see all copies from $6.88!

19	Greatest Hits (1937) more music like this by Glen Gray & Casa Loma Orchestra These recordings are from the period when the Casa Loma Orchestra was a true cooperative and Glen Gray, although elected president, was just one among equals. After a ten-year hiatus, Gray began recording again in 1956 under his name and now it was "his" Casa Loma Orchestra. Until overtaken by Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Chick Webb, and others, ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $12.00!

21 view cover	Your Hit Parade: 1944 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists 1944 was an unusual year in popular music, not only because the U.S. was at war, along with the rest of world, but also because the musicians union recording ban was still going on, sort of.

24 view cover	Maniac's Ball (1996) more music like this by Casa Loma Orchestra During a period of time when few jazz-oriented big bands existed outside of Harlem, the Casa Loma Orchestra helped set the stage for the swing era. Gene Gifford's arrangements for the ensemble during 1929-1935 were later criticized for using some staccato phrasing and an excess of riffs, but the music still sounds quite exciting today. Maniac's ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
25 view cover	Limehouse Blues (2002) more music like this by Glen Gray & the Casa Loma Orchestra In the mid-'30s, Glen Gray & the Casa Loma Orchestra were a popular, polite society band.
