1	Live from New York (1994) more music like this by Louie Bellson & His Big Band At 71, Louie Bellson on this CD displays more energy than most drummers half his age. Bellson not only takes solos on more than half the selections (including a lengthy workout on "Santos"), but he composed all seven originals; the only surprise is that Bellson decided to let some of his musical friends (including Matt Catingub, Tommy Newsom, and ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
2	The Complete Gershwin Songbooks (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The Complete Gershwin Songbooks collects three discs also released separately: 'S Wonderful, 'S Marvelous and 'S Paradise.

3	Their Time Was the Greatest (1995) more music like this by Louie Bellson The concept behind this CD was for Louie Bellson to pay tribute to a dozen drummers with a song apiece. The drummers who are saluted are Buddy Rich, Chick Webb, Big Sid Catlett, Jo Jones, Max Roach, Tony Williams, Dennis Chambers, Elvin Jones, Gene Krupa, Art Blakey, Shelly Manne, and Steve Gadd. Although Bellson plays quite well and his big band ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $10.44!
4	The Concord Jazz Heritage Series Sampler (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Now around long enough to have developed an extensive back catalog, Concord started to mine it with a Jazz Heritage series of reissues in 1998 -- of which this generously packed two-disc sampler provides an excerpt from each album. As such, the double set provides a good, even at times unpredictable overview of the label during the (label founder) ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $7.95!
5	Great Jazz Bands [PGD Special Markets] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Although there's little stylistic cohesion among its ten tracks, Great Jazz Bands is an enjoyable budget-priced collection of performances from some of the best in the business, including Dizzy Gillespie ("A Night in Tunisia"), Count Basie ("One O'Clock Jump"), Gerry Mulligan ("The Lady Is a Tramp") and Louis Armstrong ("When the Saints Go ... see all copies from $1.99!
6	Salute (1994) more music like this by Louie Bellson Quintet This two-CD set has its interesting moments.

The second CD has ... see all copies from $18.56! new only from $18.56!
7	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 $7.30!

13	Air Bellson (1996) more music like this by Louie Bellson's Magic 7 This is one of Louie Bellson's last significant recordings before advancing age caused him to inevitably slow down.

In addition to Bellson (who has a lot of short breaks), such key players as tenor-saxophonist Pete Christlieb (an underrated ... see all copies from $2.89!
14	The Concord Jazz Heritage Series (1977) more music like this by Louie Bellson Drummer Louie Bellson had a longtime association with the Concord label, recording straight-ahead music both with combos and his part-time big band. On this 1998 sampler CD, Bellson's program consists of six combo numbers and five by his orchestra, spanning a 20-year period. There are a fair number of drum solos, and Bellson composed four of the ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $12.95!
15	Impulsively Ellington!: A Tribute to Duke Ellington (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Impulsively Ellington is a thoroughly stimulating compilation of Impulse artists covering the greatest composer in jazz history. Ellington may have written countless songs that became standards, but he never played it easy (unlike so many covers of his best material). That's why this adventurous collection works. None of the artists -- Milt ... see all copies from $3.16! new only from $3.16!

19 view cover	Jazz 101: Introduction to Swing (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Living up to its title, this collection presents some of the classics of swing, including works from Louis Bellson, Kelly Smith, and Maynard Ferguson. The orchestras are smooth and flawless, the tempo is upbeat, and the sound evokes the ballrooms of 50 years ago. There is some filler in the mix, but overall this is a fine place to start in the ... see all copies from $4.93! new only from $4.93!
