The Greatest Ragtime of the Century

The Greatest Ragtime of the Century (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

The happy, rhythmically infectious music known as ragtime flourished internationally between the late 1890s and 1920. During the genre's most popular period, 1910-1920, patrons could drop a coin in a player piano and hear the latest by Eubie Blake and Jelly Roll Morton.

The Great Summit: The Master Takes

The Great Summit: The Master Takes (1990) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong with Duke Ellington

Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington were (and are) two of the main stems of jazz. Any way you look at it, just about everything that's ever happened in this music leads directly -- or indirectly -- back to them. Both men were born on the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries, and each became established as a leader during the middle '20s. Although ...

The Essential Bessie Smith

The Essential Bessie Smith (1997) more music like this

by Bessie Smith

Although there are a multitude of box sets chronicling Bessie's entire recorded career, this two-disc, 36-song set sweats it down to the bare essentials in quite an effective manner. Bessie could sing it all, from the lowdown moan of "St. Louis Blues" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" to her torch treatment of the jazz standard ...

The Essential Louis Armstrong [Columbia\Legacy]

The Essential Louis Armstrong [Columbia\Legacy] (2004) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

Even at two discs and 37 tracks, it's difficult to say that this set contains everything that is truly essential from Louis Armstrong's monumental five-decade career. It does, however, do a great job of touching down at key points, and nicely balances Armstrong's various guises as a groundbreaking sideman, soloist, bandleader, singer, and ...

The British label Living Era rarely disappoints when compiling classic jazz or vocal material, and its volume on the quintessential tight-harmony sister trio the Boswell Sisters is no different.

The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz, Vol. 1-5 (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz is itself somewhat of a classic, referred to in many books, and used as the main learning source in at least one. If you don't know what you like in jazz and are looking for a well-put-together introduction, this set is a good bet. It starts with ragtime's Scott Joplin, and proceeds through Bessie Smith, ...

by Count Basie Big Band

Count Basie always seemed to kick things up a notch when he took his big band out on-stage, and this early morning set recorded at the 1977 Montreux Jazz Festival is no exception. This edition of the band was a good one, with the presence of Al Grey, Jimmy Forrest, Charles Fowlkes, and of course, the heartbeat of the band, Freddie Green. Basie was ...

The Great London Concerts (1993) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

This previously issued material (released on a single CD by Music Masters) features the Duke Ellington Orchestra during a very busy era. The veteran musicians were getting older but their very individual voices were still powerful, and Ellington was far from running out of gas at this point. The five standards taken from the earlier performance ...

16 Most Requested Songs is a mid-priced collection that attempts to spotlight many good performances by Louis Armstrong, including "Mack the Knife" and "Blueberry Hill." The collection claims to present his "most requested" work, but any set that leaves off "What a Wonderful World" and "Hello, Dolly!" can't deliver. At the same time, these are ...

First Time! The Count Meets the Duke (1961) more music like this

by Duke Ellington with Count Basie's Orchestra

At first glance this collaboration should not have worked. The Duke Ellington and Count Basie Orchestras had already been competitors for 25 years but the leaders' mutual admiration (Ellington was one of Basie's main idols) and some brilliant planning made this a very successful and surprisingly uncrowded encounter. On most selections Ellington ...
