1	Songs That Got Us Through WW2 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $2.99! new only from $9.87!
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 $5.72! new only from $6.29!
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 $1.99! new only from $6.83!
5	Masterpieces by Ellington [Bonus Tracks] (1950) more music like this by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra add to wishlist Amazingly, it took Columbia Records until the very end of 1950, two years into the LP era and the transition from disc to magnetic tape recording, to get Duke Ellington & His Orchestra into the studio to cut a long-playing record. For the first time in his recording career, Ellington was able to forego the three-minutes-and-change restrictions in ... see all copies from $4.47! new only from $6.83!
6	Money Jungle [Expanded] (1962) more music like this by Duke Ellington with Max Roach and Charles Mingus add to wishlist Duke Ellington surprised the jazz world in 1962 with his historic trio session featuring Charles Mingus and Max Roach. Not in a mood to simply rework older compositions, the bulk of the original LP focused on music he wrote specifically for the session. "Money Jungle" is a thunderous opener, a blues that might be classified somewhere between post ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
7	The Great Summit: The Master Takes (1990) more music like this by Louis Armstrong with Duke Ellington add to wishlist 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 $4.95! new only from $6.83!
8	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!
9	At Newport 1956 Complete (1999) more music like this by Duke Ellington add to wishlist One of the greatest live jazz festival recordings ever has gotten better, and more interesting as well, with this 1999 reissue, a result of the kind of effort that most record companies normally won't even discuss. Ellington's original 1956 Newport album was his best-selling long-player ever, and re-established him, after a two-year drought in the ... see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
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 $15.12!
11	Jingle Bell Jazz [Columbia CD] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Columbia through the years has had several Christmas jazz samplers. This album is mostly from the 1961-62 period, although there is an unusual version of "Deck the Halls" that features both Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea on pianos in 1969 with a nonet. Highlights include Duke Ellington's "Jingle Bells," the Chico Hamilton Quintet playing "Winter ... see all copies from $4.31! new only from $4.31!
12	The Great London Concerts (1993) more music like this by Duke Ellington add to wishlist This previously issued material (released on a single CD by Music Masters) features the Duke Ellington Orchestra during a very busy era. The veteran musicians were getting older but their very individual voices were still powerful, and Ellington was far from running out of gas at this point. The five standards taken from the earlier performance ... see all copies from $1.99!
13	First Time! The Count Meets the Duke (1961) more music like this by Duke Ellington with Count Basie's Orchestra add to wishlist At first glance this collaboration should not have worked. The Duke Ellington and Count Basie Orchestras had already been competitors for 25 years but the leaders' mutual admiration (Ellington was one of Basie's main idols) and some brilliant planning made this a very successful and surprisingly uncrowded encounter. On most selections Ellington ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.75!
14	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 $4.45! new only from $9.28!
15	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!
16	Far East Suite [Bonus Tracks] (1967) more music like this by Duke Ellington add to wishlist This third CD edition of Duke Ellington's masterwork, Far East Suite, recorded after two grueling tours of the Middle and Far East in the early- to mid-'60s, is, hopefully, the definitive version. Issued in 2003's Bluebird First Editions series, the album has been lovingly compiled to include a fine set of liner notes by Stephanie Stein Crease ... see all copies from $5.78! new only from $6.06!
17	Late Night Piano (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Late Night Piano gives listeners a look at the intimate side of jazz piano, with tracks from Erroll Garner, Bill Evans, Count Basie, George Shearing, Bud Powell and even Antonio Carlos Jobim. ~ Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.39!
18	Ellington at Newport (1956) more music like this by Duke Ellington add to wishlist Duke Ellington's appearance at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival has long been famous, and justifiably so. Paul Gonsalves' 27-chorus tenor solo on "Diminuendo in Blue and Crescendo in Blue" practically started a riot at Newport and made headlines around the world. The momentum generated by this concert led to Ellington's comeback and never let up ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.56!
19	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!
20	Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band (2003) more music like this by Duke Ellington add to wishlist Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band, covering the years 1939-1942 in the great composer and bandleader's career, is essentially the third time that RCA has issued this material on CD. The first was a botched job, appalling even, with its flattened-out, compressed sound, along with a chopped version of "Take the A-Train" and other sonic and ... see all copies from $36.00! new only from $36.00!
21	Compact Jazz: Duke Ellington and Friends (1991) more music like this by Duke Ellington add to wishlist Budget sampler featuring Ellington performances with Ben Webster, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Hodges, and Al Hibbler, among others, taken from various periods. A good starter set for those who haven't taken the full plunge. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
22	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Duke Ellington add to wishlist 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 $5.88!
23	Piano Reflections (1989) more music like this by Duke Ellington add to wishlist At the time of its release this was a true rarity, a full album of Duke Ellington featured with a trio sans his orchestra. Although his talents at the piano sometimes have been overshadowed by his many accomplishments as a composer, arranger, and bandleader, Ellington was actually one of the very few stride pianists (along with Mary Lou Williams) ... see all copies from $9.91! new only from $9.91!
24	The OKeh Ellington (1991) more music like this by Duke Ellington add to wishlist Although generally not as celebrated as his Victor recordings of the same period, Duke Ellington's performances for OKeh (late acquired by Columbia) are among the best of the period, featuring distinctive solos by the likes of trumpeter Bubber Miley (and later his replacement Cootie Williams), trombonist Tricky Sam Nanton (who, like Miley, was an ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $17.25!
25	The Great Summit: Complete Sessions [Deluxe Edition] (1990) more music like this by Louis Armstrong with Duke Ellington add to wishlist 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 $20.48! new only from $20.48!
