1	Capitol Collectors Series (1991) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist What Louis Prima accomplished musically in the company of Sam Butera and the Witnesses and vocalist Keely Smith is in hard evidence on this excellent 26-track compilation. All the classics are aboard with excellent liner notes from Scott Shea and crisp transfers of the original masters ("Angelina-Zooma Zooma," "That Old Black Magic," "I've Got You ... see all copies from $3.25! new only from $17.95!
2	Eh, Paisano! 100% Italian-American Classics (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The concept behind Eh, Paisano! 100% Italian-American Classics -- namely, 18 tracks of pop standards and Italian songs from the '50s and '60s, sung by crooners like Dean Martin, Louis Prima, and Lou Monte -- may be a little cutesy, but it works surprisingly well. Even with tracks by pop acts like Jay & the Americans and Connie Francis, the album ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $15.00!
3	Mob Hits: Music from and a Tribute to Great Mob Movies (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Sure, the title of Mob Hits: Music from and a Tribute to Great Mob Movies sounds silly, but truth be told, it's a killer idea for a compilation. Face it, there are many, many people out there -- not just Gen-Xers, but Baby Boomers as well -- who fell in love with vocal pop through gangster movies. The Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, and Donnie ... see all copies from $17.91! new only from $17.91!
4	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 5: Wild Cool & Swingin (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This 18-song compilation is the showbiz-encased, Vegas-ized school of late-'50s and early-'60s pop vocals. The emphasis is certainly more on the "cool" than the wild and swinging; if it ever breaks out a sweat, there will be a martini-dipped silk handkerchief on hand to wipe it away. You get selections from Rat Packers (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $8.54!
5	The Wildest! [Expanded] (1957) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist A veritable greatest-hits album, The Wildest! is the gem of Louis Prima's catalogue. None of his other efforts transcend its raunchy mix of demented gibberish, blaring sax, and explosive swing, which rocked as hard as anything released at the time. Almost all of Prima's signature songs are found here: "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Oh Marie, ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $7.96!
6	Next Generation of Swing (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Next Generation of Swing assembles a dozen tracks from the retro-swing movement of the 1990s, tossing in a vintage ringer -- Louis Prima's original "Jump, Jive an' Wail" -- for good measure. The latter-day material doesn't quite capture the same excitement, although the Brian Setzer Orchestra's "Route 66," Royal Crown Revue's "Datin' with No Dough ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
7	Ultra-Lounge Sampler (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $8.99! new only from $13.67!
8	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 $4.79! new only from $8.16!
9	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Louis Prima & Keely Smith add to wishlist see all copies from $3.18! new only from $3.18!
10	Jump, Jive an' Wail: The Essential (2007) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist see all copies from $4.30! new only from $4.30!
11	Live from Las Vegas (2005) more music like this by Louis Prima/Keely Smith add to wishlist Of all the recordings in Capitol's Live from Las Vegas series, this set by Louis Prima and Keely Smith with Sam Butera & the Witnesses is a standout. For Prima fans, it's a treasure trove since only six of the disc's 19 tracks have been previously issued in any form. Recorded in 1958 during the act's long-running stint at the Sahara's Casbah ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
12	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 15: Wild Cool & Swingin' Too (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $9.89! new only from $9.89!
13	Mob Hits: Christmas (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Mob Hits compilation albums are devoted to traditional crooners and pop singers of mostly Italian descent, whose work has frequently been used on the soundtracks of Mafia movies. Although not including any Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett cuts, the Mob Hits collections are entertaining samplers that may be viewed as highlighting Italian-Americans ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $5.00!
14	Wild, Cool & Swingin (1999) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist Capitol dug through their archives and produced Louis Prima's Wild, Cool & Swingin, a continuation of their popular Ultra Lounge series. Prima's two-CD retrospective includes some of his finest work for the label, including "That Old Black Magic," "Oh Marie," "Jump, Jive & Wail" and "Angelina/ Zooma Zooma." The set also features vocals from ... see all copies from $16.40! new only from $16.40!
15	His Greatest Hits (1994) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist A likeable collection of 12 tracks from Louis Prima and his big band, several are questionable as to whether they are in fact his greatest hits. Prima is closely identified with "The Lady In Red," "The Music Goes 'Round and Around," and "I'm an Old Cowhand," but they were much bigger hits for others. At the end of the disc you get some novelty ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $13.99!
16	Swing Time! The Fabulous Big Band Era 1925-1955 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This three-CD box set does an excellent job of covering the big-band era through 66 recordings (by almost as many orchestras) owned by Columbia. The selections (programmed in chronological order), although emphasizing the 1934-45 era, also include 18 earlier and six later recordings. The 60 Columbia/Okeh sides, which include the real rarities, are ... see all copies from $12.09! new only from $12.09!
17	Christmas Jump and Jive (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $16.09!
18	Live Jazz from Club 15 (2006) more music like this by Louis Prima/Pete Fountain add to wishlist see all copies from $59.64!
19	Blues Masters, Vol. 5: Jump Blues Classics (1992) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Jump blues, of course, was crucial to the birth of R&B and rock & roll. More important, the infectious swing, grit, and humor were great in themselves. Jump Blues Classics collects 18 tracks from the golden days of the genre in the late '40s and 1950s. Most of the pioneers of the style are here -- Joe Turner, Wynonie Harris, Roy Brown, Ruth Brown, ... see all copies from $12.35!
20	Just a Gigolo [2002] (2002) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist see all copies from $7.65! new only from $7.84!
21	Jump, Jive & Wail (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
22	Golden Hits (2002) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist This is an authorized Louis Prima compilation -- not by his record labels, but by his family -- and is on his own label. The tracks have been remastered and sound great. The performances were selected with regard for their continuity rather than historical chronology. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.05! new only from $8.64!
23	Louis Prima Orchestra (1991) more music like this by Louis Prima add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99!
24	Cocktail Hour: The Crooners (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $14.00!
25	Jiving Jamboree, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Some would argue that this is a slapdash collection of jump blues, R&B, and early rock from the late '40s through the late '50s, not held together by any style or even label, save having a good jump or swing beat for dancing. They'd be right, but on the other hand it's refreshing to come across compilations like these that are obviously geared ... see all copies from $15.68! new only from $15.68!
