The Best of Ken Burns Jazz

Capitol Collectors Series (1991) more music like this

by Louis Prima

What Louis Prima accomplished musically in the company of Sam Butera and the Witnesses and vocalist Keely Smith is in hard evidence on this excellent 26-track compilation. All the classics are aboard with excellent liner notes from Scott Shea and crisp transfers of the original masters ("Angelina-Zooma Zooma," "That Old Black Magic," "I've Got You ...

The Best of Pete Fountain [GRP]

The Best of Pete Fountain [GRP] (1990) more music like this

by Pete Fountain

Although this CD draws its 22 selections from clarinetist Pete Fountain's best period (his years on the Coral label), the selections picked are sometimes a bit eccentric. Fountain is heard playing Dixieland with some of his bands, but is also joined by -- choral groups and occasional strings; no personnel listing or even recording dates are ...

16 Dixieland Favorites (1986) more music like this

by Firehouse Five Plus Two

This CD reissues the complete set originally titled Dixieland Favorites plus adds five other selections from other dates.

In 1999, Collectables released Honey in the Horn/That Honey Horn Sound, which contained two complete albums -- Honey in the Horn (1963, originally released on RCA) and That Honey Horn Sound (1965, originally released on RCA) -- by Al Hirt on one compact disc. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary.

The Wildest! [Expanded]

The Wildest! [Expanded] (1957) more music like this

by Louis Prima

A veritable greatest-hits album, The Wildest! is the gem of Louis Prima's catalogue. None of his other efforts transcend its raunchy mix of demented gibberish, blaring sax, and explosive swing, which rocked as hard as anything released at the time. Almost all of Prima's signature songs are found here: "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Oh Marie, ...

Pete Fountain's New Orleans

Pete Fountain's New Orleans (1957) more music like this

by Pete Fountain

This budget LP does not bother to list its recording dates or personnel and clarinetist Pete Fountain is actually a sideman rather than the leader but the music is wonderful with plenty of exciting ensembles. A variety of local New Orleans greats (including trumpeters Alvin Alcorn and Tony Almerico and trombonist Jack Delaney) star along with ...

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, ...

Swingin' Blues

Swingin' Blues (1990) more music like this

by Pete Fountain

Clarinetist Pete Fountain interacts with musicians from both the Dixieland and country music worlds on the OK effort, Swingin' Blues. Most of the selections on the CD are the usual Dixieland standards, but the disc also includes "Walking the Floor over You," "Honky Tonk," and "Amazing Grace." This is fairly predictable but reasonably pleasing ...

Pete Fountain Presents the Best of Dixieland (2001) more music like this

by Pete Fountain

There are relatively few of Pete Fountain's early-'60s Coral recordings available on CD, which is a pity because those rank with the finest work of the New Orleans clarinetist's career. This sampler in a series presented by Fountain has 20 selections in all. A dozen cuts comprise the complete reissue of the 1963 album South Rampart Street Parade, ...

A hoppin' visit from Saint Nick via some of his happier elves, Yule B Swingin' Too is the second release in a series of vocal jazz holiday albums from Hip-O Records. Having released some real classics on the first volume, this edition suffers a little, but several tracks really shine: Ann Margaret and Al Hirt's take on "Baby It's Cold Outside" is ...

by Jonah Jones

By the time trumpeter Jonah Jones teamed up with pianist Earl Hines and tenor-saxophonist Buddy Tate for this straightforward sextet date, Jones had been a star with his quartet for 15 years. On what would be one of Jones's last recording sessions from his prime, this Chiaroscuro reissue CD has a bit of slickness associated with the trumpeter's ...

Doc Cheatham & Nicholas Payton (1997) more music like this

by Doc Cheatham & Nicholas Payton

This matchup between trumpeters Doc Cheatham (91 at the time) and Nicholas Payton (just 23) is quite logical and delightful. Cheatham, one of the few survivors of the 1920s, was still in remarkably fine form, while Payton (a flexible New Orleans player capable of ranging from Dixieland to Freddie Hubbard) is both respectful and inspiring. With Doc ...

An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955)

An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955) (1993) 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 ...

Covering over 50 years of Louis Armstrong's career, this three-CD set from the Verve archives starts in the juke joints and speakeasies of the '20s and ends up documenting his pop hits of the '60s. Chronicling the achievements of a prolific and diverse performer of Anderson's caliber is difficult, but this release gives a strong, broad overview of ...
