2	The Complete Set: 1923-1926 (2000) more music like this by Freddie Keppard For several practical reasons, this could very well be the best Freddie Keppard collection currently available on compact disc. Until someone comes out with an expanded set containing everything even remotely connected with Keppard, this Retrieval edition, unflawed yet arguably not "complete," deserves top recommendation. The art and science of ... see all copies from $7.60! new only from $9.53!
3	Swing Tanzen Verboten!: Swing Music and Nazi Propaganda (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The Proper Box folks have assembled a massive collection of jazz and swing-related material from the second World War, much of it performed right under the noses of indignant fascists; some of it prepared with the de facto backing or propaganda interests of the occupying parties in mind. All politics aside, the music is a blast -- vital and ... see all copies from $29.40! new only from $29.40!
4	Bix Restored, Vol. 3 (2001) more music like this by Bix Beiderbecke While the first two volumes in Sunbeam's excellent Bix Beiderbecke retrospective focused on the great trumpeter's early sides and solos, showcasing his abilities as a rising soloist, the music on Bix Restored, Vol. 3, with it's astonishing variety of textures and tempos, reveals Beiderbecke as an artist in full possession of his musical powers, ... see all copies from $34.82! new only from $39.91!
5	Muggshot (1993) more music like this by Muggsy Spanier As an encapsulation of Muggsy Spanier's lengthy career, this excellent compilation presents many of the cornetist's most important sessions in something approaching chronological sequence. The survey begins in 1924 with the Bucktown Five, a scruffy little band that included clarinetist Volly DeFaut and pianist Mel Stitzel. A slightly rarer track ... see all copies from $5.45! new only from $11.03!
6	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Fletcher Henderson With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz.

11 view cover	San Francisco Jazz 1930-1932: The Flexo Recordings (1930) more music like this by Various Artists In 1992, the Harlequin historical reissue label released a 23-track collection of rare classic jazz and hot dance records made in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area during the lean years 1930-1932. Largely due to the lack of participation by major labels, Californian jazz recordings from this period are relatively rare and have always ... see all copies from $12.38! new only from $16.19!
12 view cover	Goose Pimples (1999) more music like this by Tommy Ladnier New Orleans-born trumpeter Tommy Ladnier is honored here with a chronologically stacked retrospective covering the years 1926-1939. While a few examples from his earlier work (1924-1925) with Jelly Roll Morton, Lovie Austin, and Sam Wooding would have been nice, the selections on Goose Pimples were obviously intended to showcase Ladnier's mature ... see all copies from $13.84! new only from $17.06!

Between 1923-38, Henderson's orchestra was one of the finest swing bands in the world, and during 1923-27 (until Duke Ellington's emergence) it was the first and the best. The arrangements of Don Redman in the early days set the ... see all copies from $170.22!
15 view cover	Riffin' (2001) more music like this by The Fletcher Henderson Orchestra Originally released on LP as part of Past Perfect's Silver Line vinyl series, Riffin' collects seventeen 1930s tracks from the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, a band that in retrospect could swing with the best of them, although at the time Henderson was chiefly known for his skilled and subtly innovative arrangements for Benny Goodman. Goodman, ... see all copies from $4.35! new only from $4.35!
16 view cover	New Orleans Giants, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Freddie Keppard Famous trumpeter Freddie Keppard gets the nod as headliner for New Orleans Giants, Vol. 1, but the worthy, exciting listen would be more accurately described as a collection of tracks by several different New Orleans groups from the '20s. It provides a refreshing look at music from this period and is well worth an encounter. What the featured ... see all copies from $29.98!
17 view cover	Hot Aire (1925) more music like this by Various Artists The English collectors' label Halcyon (not to be mistaken for Marian McPartland's record company of the same name) put together a very interesting collection of rare hot dance-band performances for this LP.

18 view cover	Fletcher Henderson and the Dixie Stompers (1925-1928) (1925) more music like this by Fletcher Henderson One of the main pseudonyms that Fletcher Henderson used while recording illegally for rival record labels was the Dixie Stompers, and all of their 33 recordings are included on this superlative two-LP set.

24 view cover	1923 (1993) more music like this by Fletcher Henderson Coleman Hawkins once said that Fletcher Henderson's band came across better when heard live than replayed off of old records. Hawkins insisted that Henderson's recordings sounded "like cats and dogs fighting." But this was Hawkins in 1956, consistently in denial about his age and the primal nature of the early sides he'd helped to wax more than ... see all copies from $11.00!
25 view cover	The Alternative Takes, Vol. 1: 1923-1925 (2001) more music like this by Fletcher Henderson The Alternative Takes series is of immense value to consumers of the "French Classics" CD series.
