1	Songs That Got Us Through WW2 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This excellent collection of songs from the "War Years" includes The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, the Dorsey Brothers, and Harry James, among others. It's great for the novice. Kenneth M. Cassidy, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.83! new only from $8.83!
2	The Fabulous Swing Collection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $6.43! new only from $11.06!
3	Songs That Got Us Through WW2, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $16.65! new only from $16.65!
4	The Only Big Band CD You'll Ever Need (2000) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $7.99! new only from $12.69!
5	Three Suites (1960) more music like this by Duke Ellington One of Duke Ellington's most delightful adaptations of another composer's material is his reworking of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite" into jazz; this version is a classic and well worth treasuring. Ellington's reworking of Grieg's "Peer Gynt Suites" (including "In the Hall of the Mountain King") and his tribute to John Steinbeck ("Suite Thursday ... see all copies from $6.20! new only from $6.20!
6	Big Band Magic: The Sound of the Fabulous Forties (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.47!
7	The Best of Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $3.12! new only from $3.12!
8	Such Sweet Thunder (1957) more music like this by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra The 1999 reissue of this album marks a total reconstruction and rethinking of the original LP, and such a complete break from the original album that its story could fill a book. Such Sweet Thunder was originally announced as a stereo and mono release, but only showed up in mono thanks to the technical problems inherent in early stereo, in ... see all copies from $5.47! new only from $5.47!
9	Greatest Hits [RCA] (1928) more music like this by Duke Ellington Unlike some of the entries in RCA Victor's beginners' introduction to jazz CD series, this collection does contain quite a few "hits." Other than 1928's "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" and a 1967 rendition of "Lotus Blossom," the music on the set dates from 1941-46. The performances (available in more coherent and complete form elsewhere) are ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.25!
10	New York Songs (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $8.05! new only from $8.05!
11 view cover	Ella & Duke at the Côte D'Azur (1966) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald/Duke Ellington This two-disc package features highlights from several concerts by Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald during the Le Festival International de Jazz d'Antibes-Juan-les-Pins in the south of France between July 26 and July 29, 1966. Both jazz legends are in top form throughout and the obvious affection between them results in some sublime musical ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $20.63!
12 view cover	Latin American Suite (1968) more music like this by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra Written after his orchestra's successful debut in South America, Duke Ellington's seven-part suite celebrates the atmosphere and rhythms of the many south-of-the-border countries that he visited. The usual horn stars have their moments but the pianist himself is the main voice throughout this enjoyable set of fresh music. Scott Yanow, All Music ... see all copies from $8.91! new only from $8.91!
13 view cover	The Great Summit: The Master Takes (2001) more music like this by Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington were (and are) two of the main stems of jazz. Any way you look at it, just about everything that's ever happened in this music leads directly -- or indirectly -- back to them. Both men were born on the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries, and each became established as a leader during the middle '20s. Although ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $11.13!
14 view cover	Play the Blues Back to Back (1997) more music like this by Duke Ellington & Johnny Hodges see all copies from $14.01! new only from $14.01!
15 view cover	The Cosmic Scene: Duke Ellington's Spacemen (1958) more music like this by Duke Ellington Still riding the success of his triumphant concert at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival, Duke Ellington in 1958 decided to reduce his touring orchestra to a nonet dubbed The Spacemen, and recorded this lone project with them for the Columbia label, now reissued by Mosaic Singles, and heard in stereo for the first time. Perhaps inspired by the first ... see all copies from $17.01! new only from $17.09!
16 view cover	The Very Best of Duke Ellington (2000) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $8.75! new only from $8.75!
17 view cover	Anatomy of a Murder (1959) more music like this by Duke Ellington By the time of Duke Ellington's engagement to write and record the music for Otto Preminger's Anatomy of a Murder, he was an elder statesman of jazz. He'd performed in, and contributed music to, various movies before, but those were almost all short subjects or B-musicals, or confined to a handful of numbers (Belle of the Nineties) -- Anatomy of a ... see all copies from $7.80!
18 view cover	This One's for Blanton (1972) more music like this by Duke Ellington with Ray Brown For this set of duets, pianist Duke Ellington is teamed up with bassist Ray Brown in performances a bit reminiscent of Duke's work with Jimmy Blanton three decades before. In addition to the four-part "Fragmented Suite for Piano and Bass," the duo plays five standards (including "Pitter Panther Patter" from the Blanton days and three other ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
19 view cover	The Great Summit: Complete Sessions [Deluxe Edition] (2000) more music like this by Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington The master takes of this two-CD set have appeared previously on a number of reissues on both LP and CD as a compilation of the original two individual records Together for the First Time and The Great Reunion, but this release easily beats all of the previous issues. Two music legends, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, met in the studio for two ... see all copies from $26.35! new only from $26.35!
20 view cover	The Essential Duke Ellington [Sony] (2005) more music like this by Duke Ellington The Essential Duke Ellington, a two-CD set, differs from previous Columbia/Legacy Duke Ellington reissues in that the music is drawn not only from Sony's vaults but from BMG's vaults, too. Four selections are from the 1920s, 20 date from the 1930s, seven are from the 1940s, and the final six were recorded between 1950 and 1960. Is this an ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
21 view cover	Soul Call (1966) more music like this by Duke Ellington The centerpiece of this live album is Ellington's "La Plus Belle Africaine," tone of his better late-period works. Otherwise an overly fast "Jam with Sam," two short Paul Gonsalves features and a lengthy drum solo comprise the remainder of the program, making this a lesser Ellington item. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
22 view cover	The Charleston Era (2000) more music like this by Various Artists "The Charleston" was composed by Afro-American Harlem stride piano legend James P. Johnson. He actually wrote about a half-dozen "Charlestons" and must have been amused when one of them became the theme song for an entire decade, guaranteeing him royalty payments for years to come. Living Era's Charleston Era compilation focuses almost exclusively ... see all copies from $10.95!
23 view cover	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Duke Ellington In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from $3.19! new only from $5.16!
24 view cover	Fabulous Big Band Collection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $11.06! new only from $11.06!
25 view cover	New Orleans Suite (1970) more music like this by Duke Ellington This late-period Duke Ellington album is perhaps most notable for including altoist Johnny Hodges' final recordings. In fact, Hodges was supposed to record his first soprano solo in nearly 30 years on "Portrait of Sidney Bechet," but he passed away before the second session. The set consists of the five-song "New Orleans Suite" plus tributes to ... see all copies from $9.28! new only from $9.37!
