1	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 $5.18! new only from $11.06!
2	The Benny Goodman Story [Capitol] (1955) more music like this by Benny Goodman Consumer advisory: In 1955, Universal Pictures released The Benny Goodman Story, starring Steve Allen.

But ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $7.35!
3	Midnight Serenade/Ballroom Date (2005) more music like this by Sammy Kaye This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print LPs by Sammy Kaye, Midnight Serenade and Ballroom Date, both originally issued on Columbia in 1959 and 1960, respectively. These 25 tracks are formulaic renditions of hit pop songs of the era, including "Dream a Little Dream of Me," "(There Is) No Greater Love," and "The Very Thought ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $11.66!
4	Auld Lang Syne [Universal Special Products] (1998) more music like this by Guy Lombardo A solid budget-priced introduction to Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians' lush dance-band sound, Auld Lang Syne also serves as a fine soundtrack for more tradition-minded festivities -- in addition to the signature title tune, the set also includes performances of "The Music Goes 'Round and Around," "Beer Barrel Polka," and "Happy Days Are Here ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
5	Now Is the Caroling Season (1957) more music like this by Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians Few recordings define the year-end holiday season as auspiciously as Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians' classic Now Is the Caroling Season from 1957. As one of the earliest full-length 12" Christmas albums, it became practically anthemic to generation upon generation of baby boomers. Even as rock & roll was invading the youth-driven marketplace, ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $14.52!
6	Newport Jazz Festival: Live at Carnegie Hall (1973) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This two-CD set (a reissue of an earlier two-Lp set plus six previously unreleased numbers) brings back a memorable Carnegie Hall concert that both features and pays tribute to Ella Fitzgerald.

7	Enjoy Yourself: The Hits of Guy Lombardo (1996) more music like this by Guy Lombardo Enjoy Yourself: The Hits of Guy Lombardo is the finest collection ever assembled of Lombardo's biggest hits, including "Penny Serenade," "Nicaragua," "The Band Played On," "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later than You Think)," and "Auld Lang Syne." It's the most comprehensive compilation of Lombardo recordings ever assembled, touching on all aspects of his ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.71!
8	Fever (1966) more music like this by Ted Heath Bert Ambrose and Nat Gonella notwithstanding, arguably the finest band to come out of England was led byTed Heath. He was almost as well known in the United States as he was in the United Kingdom. He started coming to the US in 1956 as he and Stan Kenton arranged an exchange to satisfy union requirements of both countries. The band's popularity ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

13 view cover	An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955) (1931) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $6.43! new only from $24.37!
14 view cover	The Aviator [Original Soundtrack] (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's 2004 Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator doesn't contain any of Howard Shore's original score, concentrating instead on the hot jazz, swing, and pop tunes that appear in the movie. This is fairly evenly divided between original recordings from the '20s, '30s, and '40s and new recordings designed to sound like the ... see all copies from $3.43! new only from $4.55!
15 view cover	Here's to Romance (2005) more music like this by Buddy Clark Crooner Buddy Clark helped to establish the dependable and reassuring conventions of the early to middle 20th century pop vocal, distinguishing himself as a contemporary of Bing Crosby, Gene Austin, Rudy Vallée, and Al Bowlly while preparing ground for the successes of Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Vic Damone, Steve Lawrence, and Dean Martin. ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $10.83!
16 view cover	The Best of Guy Lombardo: The Early Years (2003) more music like this by Guy Lombardo The Best of Guy Lombardo: The Early Years is a more intensive compilation than ASV/Living Era's The Band Played On -- 25 Number One Hits!, focusing on the first six years of Lombardo's recording career (1927-1935) and ensuring that every selection was a popular performance. All the more surprise, then, to find the Lombardo band's most popular song ... see all copies from $12.14! new only from $14.74!
17 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 $8.43! new only from $11.06!
18 view cover	Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 20's (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The 1920s evoke an era of gangsters, flappers, bootleg gin, and a nation gone jazz crazy right down to the raccoon coats. This second entry in RCA's Nipper's Greatest Hits series evokes that era in a big way on this 20-track compilation. While there were jazz recordings by the carload from the '20s, it's the pop tunes that drove the decade, and ... see all copies from $7.68! new only from $11.06!

In 1925, George Olsen & His Music made a national splash with the song "Who?," followed by a full decade of prominent sides recorded for Victor. After decades of digital exile, ASV ... see all copies from $9.12! new only from $12.20!
21 view cover	Mr. Silvertone (2001) more music like this by Freddy Martin Sweet bandleader and honeyed saxophonist Freddy Martin combined elements of big-band jazz and dance music with a small string section. He was more consistently successful with this formula than others who tried it heavy-handedly, pouring on too much sugar. Martin mostly managed to maintain a fascinating equilibrium between the violins and the rest ... see all copies from $9.12! new only from $12.11!
22 view cover	I'm Beginning to See the Light: Dance Hits from the Second World War (2007) more music like this by Various Artists I'm Beginning to See the Light is a companion to, but not the soundtrack for, The War, the 2007 PBS miniseries on World War II produced and directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. Whereas the soundtrack features a mix of new and old recordings intended to serve the purpose of the miniseries itself ("[to explore] the history and horror of World War ... see all copies from $4.20! new only from $4.97!
23 view cover	Words and Music of World War II (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This two-CD audio documentary mixes popular songs (usually excerpts) of the early to mid-'40s inspired by World War II and excerpts of famous speeches and news reports of the time, joined by some slightly ostentatious narration. If you're a music collector, it's not the ideal way to hear World War II topical songs, because most of the music tracks ... see all copies from $13.48! new only from $17.11!
24 view cover	Original Dance Music of 1920's & 1930's (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A delightful collection of old 78s from the late '20s and early '30s featuring some great little pop songs. Ben Selvin, Jan Garber, and Ted Weems are the three big names here, but tracks from obscure groups like the Jesse Stafford Orchestra ("Shine"), the Broadway Nitelites (a nice cover of "I Wanna Be Loved by You"), the Green Brothers Novelty ... see all copies from $11.49! new only from $12.97!
25 view cover	70th Birthday Celebration (2005) more music like this by Gunter Noris see all copies from $10.90! new only from $12.33!
