1	The Essential Artie Shaw (2005) more music like this by Artie Shaw The Essential Artie Shaw collects 38 tracks recorded between 1938 and 1953 for Bluebird. The compilation does an admiral job of showcasing Shaw's skills as bandleader, composer, showman, and musician. The focus of the disc is mainly instrumentals, both in small-group and orchestral settings, with a few tracks spotlighting the vocals of Helen ... see all copies from $13.33! new only from $22.14!
2	Radio Days [Original Jive Soundtrack] (1990) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Even more so than with most of the soundtracks to Woody Allen's movies, Radio Days is filled with a strong nostalgic tone, comprised as it is of material from the heyday of the swing era, which coincides with the movie's era and setting. Its appeal is, thus, not limited to fans of the movie Radio Days -- rather, owing to the care with which Allen ... see all copies from $3.79! new only from $11.06!
3	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!
4	Collector's Edition (1986) more music like this by Benny Goodman Some wonderful sessions. Part of Masterpieces series. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.47! new only from $11.06!
5	Greatest Hits [RCA] (1996) more music like this by Glenn Miller This CD is part of RCA Victor's extensive but erratic introduction to jazz series. Glenn Miller had so many hits that it would be impossible to fit them on just one CD. Strangely enough, three of the 15 numbers included on this release ("When You Wish Upon a Star," "Moon Love," and "King Porter Stomp") were not big sellers, making the title a bit ... see all copies from $5.87! new only from $6.95!
6	In the Christmas Mood, Vol. 2 (1993) more music like this by Glenn Miller A second Christmas CD from Miller's orchestra, this one continues in the tradition of the first CD. In fact, it even includes a few pieces that were also on that one. Although recorded after the death of Glenn Miller himself, his orchestra does a great job of capturing the sound that made the band so famous as they make their way through many ... see all copies from $1.99!
7	The Very Best of Benny Goodman (2000) more music like this by Benny Goodman The Benny Goodman library hasn't been well treated by RCA-BMG, especially in the area of mid-priced compilations -- there were too many reissues done in the late '80s and early '90s, before the advent of 20-bit and 24-bit mastering and other high-resolution digital formats, that really make a difference on those old analog masters. The result is a ... see all copies from $9.47! new only from $11.06!
8	Those Were Our Songs: Music of World War II (2001) more music like this by Various Artists World War II and big-band pop-era compilations are released almost as regularly as Christmas albums, and the glut has caused more harm than good; it seems any good ones are quickly swallowed up by the racks full of short, ill-advised, uninformative collections. Though any single label could never do justice to the war years, with a little clever ... see all copies from $16.22! new only from $18.35!
9	Greatest Hits [RCA] (1996) more music like this by Tommy Dorsey Greatest Hits is a brief collection of Tommy Dorsey's best-known songs, including "Marie," "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," "The Song is You," and 15 other tracks. It's certainly not a complete collection, but it offers a nice cross-section of Dorsey's biggest hits and, in the process, it functions as a good sampler for novices and casual fans. ... see all copies from $9.28! new only from $10.66!
10	Greatest Hits [Bridge] (1996) more music like this by Benny Goodman Highly misleading title, but some valuable material. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.47! new only from $11.06!
11 view cover	The Only Big Band CD You'll Ever Need (2000) more music like this by Various Artists While the title alone would seem to invite criticism, it's a justified tag, as this 20-track collection rounds up some pretty serious contenders. Kicking off with Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo," Benny Goodman's "Stompin' at the Savoy," and Duke Ellington's "Take the 'A' Train," the set includes signature tunes from Woody Herman, Artie Shaw ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $12.69!
12 view cover	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. Goodman himself played the music in the film (which consisted of re-recordings of his old hits), rounding up such former band members as Harry James, Martha Tilton, and Lionel Hampton, and a successful soundtrack LP was issued by Decca. But ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $7.35!
13 view cover	In the Digital Mood (1991) more music like this by Glenn Miller Orchestra This CD may be scoffed at by serious jazz listeners, and even by big-band devotees wary of modern "ghost band" performances, but the fact is that it sold over 100,000 pieces when it first appeared in 1983, and its CD version was among the very earliest compact discs ever released commercially in the United States (indeed, so early that the actual ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.82!

15 view cover	Unforgettable Glenn Miller & His Orchestra (1985) more music like this by Glenn Miller see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.99!
16 view cover	Chesterfield Broadcasts (2003) more music like this by Glenn Miller & the Andrews Sisters Although Glenn Miller & His Orchestra get first billing on this two-CD set, 25 of the 35 selections are features for the Andrews Sisters. The music is taken from the earliest Glenn Miller Chesterfield Broadcasts, shows that had the always-cheerful Andrews Sisters as the regular guests. After March 1940, it was decided that Miller (whose band had ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $15.00!
17 view cover	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!
18 view cover	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!
19 view cover	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!
20 view cover	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!
21 view cover	Les Brown and His Band of Renown (1957) more music like this by Les Brown Although Les Brown gets top billing on this set of 1957 radio airchecks, his big band actually functions as a backup orchestra for singers Julie London, Jo Ann Greer, June Christy and (on "Oh Baby") bandmember Stumpy Brown; only "My Baby Just Cares for Me" is an instrumental. Each of the vocalists are in fine form with Greer holding her own with ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.48!
22 view cover	The Most Fabulous Christmas Album Ever (1999) more music like this by Various Artists RCA Victor's Most Fabulous Christmas Album Ever collects 21 of the label's most memorable holiday songs. From Spike Jones' "My Two Front Teeth" to Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby" to Perry Como's "Home for the Holidays," the album includes many definitive versions of Christmas classics. Glenn Miller's "Jingle Bells," Kate Smith's "It's Beginning to Look ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.63!
23 view cover	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Tommy Dorsey/Frank Sinatra see all copies from $4.74! new only from $11.06!
24 view cover	The Centennial Collection (2004) more music like this by Glenn Miller Glenn Miller was one of the most popular recording artists from the late 1930s until he died in a plane crash while leading an army big band in 1944. While his orchestra was more of a pop band with jazz leanings, with relatively few solos by individual members, his music had mass appeal during a troubled time in American history. This two-disc set ... see all copies from $5.39! new only from $10.18!
25 view cover	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Benny Goodman Benny Goodman's volume in the Ken Burns Jazz series ranges from one of his first recording appearances, on a 1927 side by Ben Pollack, all the way to the late '50s. Of the 22 tracks, there are many highlights including "Body and Soul" from his trio (with Teddy Wilson and Gene Krupa), plus two songs from his legendary 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $11.06!
