1	Dance of the Octopus (1933) more music like this by Red Norvo The first 26 selections that xylophonist Red Norvo ever led are on this essential (and generous) CD. Among the many illustrious sidemen are future bandleaders Benny Goodman (heard on bass clarinet during memorable versions of "In a Mist" and "Dance of the Octopus"), Jimmy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Jack Jenney, Charlie Barnet, and Bunny Berigan in ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
2	Just a Mood (1954) more music like this by The Red Norvo Small Band Vibraphonist Red Norvo was among the most flexible of improvisers from his generation. On this Bluebird CD, Norvo is heard with three very different groups. He interacts with trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, tenor saxophonist Ben Webster and pianist Jimmy Rowles in a swing-oriented sextet; their performances are highlighted by the memorable "Just ... see all copies from $14.99!
3	Red Norvo, Featuring Mildred Bailey (1937) more music like this by Red Norvo with Mildred Bailey This CD reissue by Columbia in their Legacy series is a bit of a hodgepodge, covering a 2 1/2 year period in the bandleading career of xylophonist Red Norvo. Unfortunately the music is not programmed in chronological order but since most of these largely enjoyable 18 titles (including two never previously released) have rarely been reissued, this ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $9.98!
4	Move! (1950) more music like this by Red Norvo Trio During 1950-51, vibraphonist Red Norvo led one of his finest groups, a popular trio also including guitarist Tal Farlow and bassist Charles Mingus. They recorded 20 selections (not counting alternate takes) for the Savoy label before Mingus eventually quit; his replacement would be Red Mitchell. This Japanese Savoy CD has 12 of the songs, totaling ... see all copies from $8.49!
5	The Modern Red Norvo (2002) more music like this by Red Norvo This two-disc compilation, one of the first in a new series by the rekindled Savoy Jazz label, documents the masterful bop vibraphone of Red Norvo. The first eight tracks of disc one feature Norvo with his Selected Sextet of 1945, an astonishing lineup indeed: Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet, Charlie Parker on alto, Flip Phillips on tenor, Teddy Wilson ... see all copies from $7.24! new only from $13.82!
6	Wigwammin' (1997) more music like this by Red Norvo Xylophonist and bandleader Red Norvo was nearing the end of his popular big-band period when these 23 tunes were recorded between May and September 1938. Most of the songs are sung either by the mellifluous Mildred Bailey or the somewhat sappy Terry Allen. Clarinet solos are by Hank D'Amico and the band's arrangements were written by saxophonist ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
7	Red Norvo Orchestra Live from the Blue Gardens (1942) more music like this by Red Norvo Red Norvo's 1942 big band only recorded two songs and was otherwise completely undocumented. However, a tape of a radio broadcast was saved by trombonist Eddie Bert through the years and released on CD in 1992 by Music Masters. Although, other than Bert and singer Helen Ward, Norvo's sidemen are quite obscure, he had a very interesting band ... see all copies from $3.40! new only from $48.55!
8	The Savoy Story, Vol. 1: Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The old Savoy catalog gets bounced around from one distributor to the next like an unwanted foster child, with everyone starting from scratch once they get a hold of it. By 1999, it was Atlantic's turn and, hot on the heels of other label retrospectives, they have compiled a very good three-CD anthology of Savoy's jazz activities over 15 years in ... see all copies from $34.98! new only from $34.98!
9	Red in New York (1977) more music like this by Red Norvo Red Norvo's third and final recording as a leader for the short-lived Famous Door label is most notable for being one of the earliest recordings of tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton. In addition, vibraphonist Norvo was glad to once again have the services of his favorite pianist of the era, Dave McKenna, along with bassist Richard Davis and drummer ... see all copies from $12.70! new only from $12.70!
10	Improvisations on Keynote (1944) more music like this by Red Norvo Volume Eight of Mercury's partial transfer onto CDs of its mighty Complete Keynote Collection LP set contains some wonderful Red Norvo small combo swing sessions. "Subtle Sextology," "Blues a la Red," "The Man I Love," and "Seven Come Eleven" come from some sextet sessions that sound very much like the sextet 78s that Benny Goodman was putting out ... see all copies from $16.93!
11	Live at Rick's Cafe Americain (1978) more music like this by Red Norvo with Urbie Green This jam session was supposed to be led by violinist Joe Venuti, but his unexpected death led to vibraphonist Red Norvo (in view of his seniority) becoming the nominal leader. The all-star group (which also includes Buddy Tate on tenor, trombonist Urbie Green, pianist Dave McKenna, bassist Steve LaSpina and drummer Barrett Deems) plays loosely but ... see all copies from $11.31!
12	The Red Norvo Trios (1953) more music like this by Red Norvo Although the most famous of Red Norvo's vibes/guitar/bass trios featured guitarist Tal Farlow and bassist Charles Mingus, he continued the appealing format for a few years after his sidemen departed. This CD features Norvo with guitarist Jimmy Raney and bassist Red Mitchell on 15 enjoyable performances from 1953-54 and is rounded off by four songs ... see all copies from $37.50!
13	How Blue Can You Get? Great Blues Vocals in the Jazz Tradition (1938) more music like this by Various Artists On record, the marriage of blues and jazz singing goes back as far as Mamie Smith's song "Crazy Blues." In addition to being the first known vocal performance on wax by a black woman, the record also launched a craze for classic blues recordings by Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Sippie Wallace, and others. These urbane vocalists may have taken many cues ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $184.55!
14	American Legends: Holiday, Smith & Bailey (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.99!
15	Swing That Music (1969) more music like this by Ruby Braff & Red Norvo This two-record set combines separate sets by Ruby Braff and Red Norvo from the same 1969 Paris studio session, though both musicians use the identical rhythm section of pianist George Wein, bassist Larry Ridley, drummer Don Lamond, and guitarist Barney Kessel, who has many nice solos in both sessions. Braff, playing cornet, pays tribute to Louis ... see all copies from $27.26!
16 view cover	Big Band Christmas [Universal] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This is great noel nostalgia the big-band way: Les Brown, Doris Day, Russ Morgan, Artie Shaw, Sammy Kaye, Harry James, and others. David A. Milberg, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.95!
17 view cover	Swing Time! The Fabulous Big Band Era 1925-1955 (1925) more music like this by Various Artists 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!
18 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 view cover	Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz, Vol. 4 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Still an excellent place to start a jazz collection, the Smithsonian's five-volume Classic Jazz series covers the music from its New Orleans days and the swing era up through bebop, hard bop, free jazz, and the years beyond. The fourth installment takes on the '50s, with highlights from Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool session, Lennie Tristano and ... see all copies from $14.00!
20 view cover	Irving Berlin: A Hundred Years (1988) more music like this by Various Artists Issued to commemorate Berlin's 100th birthday, this 21-track compilation of his songs is culled from recordings made primarily in the 30s, though there are also a few from the 40s and 50s. The artists include Connee Boswell, Bing Crosby, Eddie Cantor, Fred Astaire, Benny Goodman, Dinah Shore, Tony Bennett, and Johnny Mathis. William Ruhlmann, ... see all copies from $10.99!

23 view cover	The Golden Years in Digital Stereo: Swing Groups (1931-1936) (1992) more music like this by Various Artists The Robert Parker CD series is most notable for enhancing early jazz recordings, giving them the feel of stereo. This particular release concentrates on smaller swing and Dixielandish combos from the early to mid-'30s. As usual with the program, the selections are programmed in somewhat random order but the quality of the performances is ... see all copies from $5.41! new only from $14.42!
