2	That Happy Feeling (196?) more music like this by Bert Kaempfert & His Orchestra With his hit single "Afrikaan Beat" and this follow-up album, the unmistakably German maestro Bert Kaempfert became an unsung world music pioneer, adopting elements of South African music decades before it became fashionable.

3	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Duke Ellington 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.

4	The Essential Duke Ellington [Sony] (2005) more music like this by Duke Ellington The Essential Duke Ellington, a two-CD set, differs from previous Columbia/Legacy Duke Ellington reissues in that the music is drawn not only from Sony's vaults but from BMG's vaults, too. Four selections are from the 1920s, 20 date from the 1930s, seven are from the 1940s, and the final six were recorded between 1950 and 1960. Is this an ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
5	The OKeh Ellington (1927) more music like this by Duke Ellington Although generally not as celebrated as his Victor recordings of the same period, Duke Ellington's performances for OKeh (late acquired by Columbia) are among the best of the period, featuring distinctive solos by the likes of trumpeter Bubber Miley (and later his replacement Cootie Williams), trombonist Tricky Sam Nanton (who, like Miley, was an ... see all copies from $6.37! new only from $17.76!

9	The Bubber Miley Era: 1924-1929 (2003) more music like this by Duke Ellington Bubber Miley Era: 1924-1929 is a worthwhile sampler of classic early Duke Ellington, with the spotlight on James Wesley "Bubber" Miley (1903-1932), famous as a master of the muted growling trumpet.

11 view cover	Duke Ellington's Finest Hour (2002) more music like this by Duke Ellington Perhaps the most beautiful thing about this entry in Verve's Finest Hour series is that it covers 46 years in Ellington's career, from the very beginning of his recording career in 1926, to the very end in 1972. There are brilliant stops along the way with the Blanton/Webster edition of the band, and many of the '30s versions of his classics as ... see all copies from $11.96! new only from $12.08!

13 view cover	Anthology 1928-1954 (2007) more music like this by Duke Ellington Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington was a gifted composer, a brilliant bandleader, and a skilled pianist who, like Fats Waller, learned his craft from James P. Johnson, Luckey Roberts, and Willie "The Lion" Smith.

14 view cover	Mrs. Clinkscales to the Cotton Club, Vol. 1: 1926-1 (2005) more music like this by Duke Ellington JSP's first volume of chronologically presented recordings from the dawn of Duke Ellington's career bears a title that epitomizes producer John Stedman's whimsical sensibilities by utilizing the name of young Edward Kennedy Ellington's piano teacher, Mrs. Marietta Clinkscales. Here upon four compact discs are 96 classic sides dating from 1924-1929 ... see all copies from $26.99! new only from $26.99!
15 view cover	Out of the Night (1999) more music like this by Dado Moroni Trio Italian pianist Dado Moroni is better known to European jazz fans because most of his work has been recorded and distributed on the continent, but this second disc for the Canadian label Jazz Focus should help to expose him to American audiences. This wide-ranging 1998 session, with trumpeter and flügelhornist Joe Magnarelli, bassist Ira Coleman, ... see all copies from $14.79! new only from $14.79!
16 view cover	No Amps Allowed (1985) more music like this by Howard Alden With Jack Lesberg The combination of guitarist Howard Alden and bassist Jack Lesberg works quite well on this intriguing set. The duo performs some spontaneous versions of standards, while other obscure works are fully arranged. The music is mostly swing but also occasionally looks toward the 1920s. Highlights include Duke Ellington's "Dancers in Love," George Van ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!

20 view cover	Pleasure Mad (1994) more music like this by The Charleston Chasers In the 1920s the Charleston Chasers were a studio group that played jazz-influenced hot dance music and often featured Phil Napoleon, Red Nichols, the Dorsey Brothers and/or Benny Goodman. The ten-piece unit featured on this Stomp Off set has no relation to the original band except occasionally for the hot dance style it performs. Based in England ... see all copies from $7.72! new only from $7.72!
21 view cover	Kenny Davern Big Three (1985) more music like this by Kenny Davern Clarinetist Kenny Davern is always consistent, playing swing and trad standards with creativity and in his own sound within the older pre-bop styles. This swinging trio date with a pair of excellent British jazzmen (pianist Martin Litton and drummer John Petters) holds its own with Davern's better-known sessions. Litton is a fine two-handed ... see all copies from $15.27! new only from $21.53!
22 view cover	Reminiscing in Tempo (1991) more music like this by Duke Ellington Just the fact that Ellington's extended masterpiece "Reminiscing in Tempo" is included here in its original and continuous form is reason enough to pick up this compilation. Initially recorded in 1935, "Reminiscing" was the first thoroughly composed jazz piece and one that not only demonstrated Ellington's knack for longer forms, but also featured ... see all copies from $3.09!
23 view cover	Misterioso (1991) more music like this by Howard Alden This Concord CD serves as a particularly strong showcase for guitarist Howard Alden who is featured in a trio with bassist Frank Tate and drummer Keith Copeland.

24	Early Ellington (1927-1934) (1927) more music like this by Duke Ellington Thus far RCA, in its Bluebird series, has released three CDs of early Duke Ellington. Although not comparable in quantity to its earlier "complete" series on French RCA LPs, this first disc is well worth acquiring and is a perfect place for collectors to start in exploring Duke Ellington's music of the '20s and early '30s. Highpoints include ... see all copies from $43.70! new only from $49.95!
25 view cover	The Duke: The Essential Recordings (1927-1962) (2000) more music like this by Duke Ellington Unlike some labels, who chose to celebrate Duke Ellington's centennial with lavish sets of his complete recordings for a label, Columbia/Legacy decided to keep things relatively simple. They assembled Duke Ellington - The Essential Collection: 1927-1962, a three-disc set that features highlights of his sessions for Columbia over the years. ... see all copies from $17.37!
