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	Nicky's Jazz for Kids (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $10.91! new only from $14.56!
3	If You Got to Ask, You Ain't Got It! (2006) more music like this by Fats Waller During his 21-year recording career, Thomas "Fats" Waller waxed so many hundreds of songs that only a dedicated few have heard them all even once, let alone often enough to understand the true nature of his legacy. While longtime collectors can attest to the awesome breadth and depth of Waller's massive discography, your average citizen needs and ... see all copies from $17.98! new only from $35.30!
4	The Very Best of Fats Waller [RCA] (2000) more music like this by Fats Waller Fats Waller mixed good-natured, theatrical humor and flawless technique in his work, and this CD gathers digitally remastered versions of 24 of his all-time top performances. The Very Best of Fats Waller features songs from each stage of his career -- including favorites like "Your Feet's Too Big," "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Two Sleepy People," "The ... see all copies from $9.47! new only from $11.06!
5	Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 1: Messin' Around with the Blues (2007) more music like this by Fats Waller For decades Fats Waller's recorded legacy has found its way into the lives of jazz heads and regular folks throughout the world, most often in piecemeal fashion through "best-of" collections that fixate upon his most popular recordings from the 1930s and early '40s, or in mammoth "complete editions" inevitably peppered with gaps and flaws. "Messin ... see all copies from $22.74! new only from $25.71!
6	Swing (2003) more music like this by Suzy Bogguss On her third self-released album, Suzy Bogguss, one of the finest female vocalists living and working in Nashville, allows one of her many passions to come to the surface on Swing. With Asleep at the Wheel's Ray Benson in the producer's chair, Bogguss kicks out 12 classy pop, jazz, and swing tunes with a smoking band making a timeless sound. ... see all copies from $7.59! new only from $9.26!
7	The Chess Box (1989) more music like this by Willie Dixon This was the most unusual, and probably the most difficult to assemble of MCA's Chess Box series, mostly because of the unusual nature of Willie Dixon's contribution to Chess Records. To be sure, Dixon rates a place in the history of the label right alongside that of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, but his role was more subtle than ... see all copies from $21.41! new only from $22.26!
8	The Very Best of Fats Waller [Collectors' Choice] (2000) more music like this by Fats Waller see all copies from $5.25! new only from $15.07!
9	Laughing in Rhythm (2003) more music like this by Slim Gaillard The Proper label's irresistible trawl through the cumulative vaults of American jazz, country, and rhythm & blues arrived at the discography of Slim Gaillard with an easy task at hand: improve upon what was previously available of the jive king's recorded work. The four-disc box Laughing in Rhythm accomplishes that mission by a large margin, ... see all copies from $29.40! new only from $29.40!
10	The Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 2: A Handful of Keys (2006) more music like this by Fats Waller The British JSP reissue label specializes in nicely affordable four-CD sets that are chronological tributes to legendary jazz musicians like Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney Bechet, Bix Beiderbecke and Jimmie Noone. While each of these editions has proven useful, fulfilling and entertaining, Volume Two in JSP's Complete Recorded Works of Fats Waller must ... see all copies from $23.47! new only from $28.07!
11 view cover	Ain't Misbehavin' [ASV/Living Era] (1995) more music like this by Fats Waller As the Internet Age continues to offer premature upgrades and seizure-inducing pop-up advertising, much of Fats Waller's recorded legacy is ending up in disorganized heaps of haphazardly downloaded files with little or no context to help the listener sort them out. Many CD compilations seem hardly better organized, offering Waller's best and not ... see all copies from $8.96! new only from $12.20!
12 view cover	Nipper's Greatest Hits: The 30's, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The 1930s were a tumultuous decade, and the record business almost went under after the stock market crash of 1929 and the Depression that gripped the nation. But in adverse times America still wanted to be entertained, and Victor provided much of the soundscape for that decade. This first of two volumes features escapist fare like Bing Crosby's ... see all copies from $9.47! new only from $10.66!
13 view cover	Vol. 2: 1935-1940 (2003) more music like this by Cab Calloway JSP continued its steady trawl through the discography of the swing era's most extroverted bandleader with Vol. 2: 1935-1940, the second four-disc box of Cab Calloway chronological recordings. Four years beyond his breakout with "Minnie the Moocher," Calloway was leading one of the most entertaining bands of the '30s (thanks in large part to his ... see all copies from $22.83! new only from $30.88!
14 view cover	Junkers, Jivers & Coke Fiends: Vintage Songs About Drugs 1926-1952 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Although each generation seems to think it's invented the dubious art of illicit drug use, this alternately amusing and harrowing set of vintage drug songs put together by the seriously bent staff of Britain's Buzzola Records shows that the party has been going on for generations. Cocaine features heavily here, showing the uncanny ability of ... see all copies from $10.15! new only from $13.94!
15 view cover	A Proper Introduction to Cab Calloway: Zah, Zuh, Zaz (2004) more music like this by Cab Calloway Twenty-five Cab Calloway jams from the '30s and '40s when he had one of the most cooking bands this side of Ellington's or Armstrong's. It should be stated right from the jump that the compilers at Proper could care less whether the records they issue are representative of an artist's whole career, so those looking for something definitive in ... see all copies from $2.00! new only from $5.92!
16 view cover	Hi-De-Hi! (2001) more music like this by Cab Calloway Cab Calloway made such a large number of recordings that the laws of chance and the vagaries of the music industry generally conspire to create chaotic Calloway compilations composed of sensibly chosen and/or idiotically selected titles. Fortunately, Living Era's Hi-De-Hi! is a 98-percent worthwhile overview of material culled from Calloway's best ... see all copies from $62.00!
17 view cover	Handful of Keys [Box Set] (2004) more music like this by Fats Waller As a label, the U.K.'s Proper does a pretty decent job of assembling a great cross-section of tracks, decent sound, and fairly annotated notes (though labels names seldom if ever appear either in liner notes or in track notations, only catalog number...hmmmm) all for a really great price. Hardcore fans of most artists will either have most or all ... see all copies from $15.78! new only from $15.78!
18 view cover	It's a Sin to Tell a Lie (2000) more music like this by Fats Waller see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
19 view cover	Best of the Big Bands (1989) more music like this by Cab Calloway Nice collection of his material from the 30s. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.76! new only from $5.47!
20 view cover	A Handful of Keys (1999) more music like this by Fats Waller A wonderfully selected chronological taste of Fats Waller from his first piano solo up through the glorious ensemble swing of 1935. Many recent U.S. attempts at a Waller sampler seem haphazard by comparison. Ever since the deletion of his entire Bluebird catalog, the European labels have been a great source of consolation for disgruntled admirers ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $4.50!
21 view cover	Fine Arabian Stuff (1939) more music like this by Fats Waller The music on this album was all recorded in one day and finds an unaccompanied Fats Waller dealing with a variety of folk songs and spirituals, much of them out of character with the stereotype of Waller as a happy-go-lucky, partying extrovert. He plays piano on the first six numbers while performing in a much more somber mood on organ for the ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $15.30!
22 view cover	The Best of Odyssey 1945-1952 (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie The Best of Odyssey 1945-1952 is a solid compilation of Savoy sides recorded by jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie at the peak of his career. Included here are such bebop gems as "He Beeped When He Should Have Bopped" and "School Days." Matt Collar, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.08! new only from $15.58!
23 view cover	We Cats Will Swing for You (2003) more music like this by The Cats & the Fiddle Austin Powell's Cats & the Fiddle were a little late in arriving to the hep cats' ball; they formed in 1937, after many years of scuttling around in varying incarnations with different names. Also, the base quartet weren't as musically talented as forebears like the Mills Brothers or the Delta Rhythm Boys or the Three Keys. Still, they continued ... see all copies from $9.12! new only from $11.34!
24 view cover	Jukebox Hits: 1930-1950 (2005) more music like this by Cab Calloway see all copies from $7.65! new only from $17.79!
25 view cover	Cruisin' with Cab (1996) more music like this by Cab Calloway & His Orchestra Cab Calloway's Orchestra is featured on radio broadcasts from two different periods on this CD. Most of the material previously appeared on an Alamac LP. The 1940 performance is most notable for the occasional solos of tenor saxophonist Chu Berry and young trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie (best featured on "Hard Times"). The 1945 broadcast is a bit odd ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.00!
