4	Talkin' Verve (2001) more music like this by Shirley Scott Although she freely offered Jimmy Smith as her main influence, Philadelphia's Shirley Scott brought her own mixture of sophistication and soul jazz funk to her Hammond B-3 recordings. Less blues-based than Smith, she had a softer tone and tackled a wider range of material, although, like Smith, she was arguably at her best in the trio setting. ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $9.62!

6	Tangence (1994) more music like this by J.J. Johnson Trombonist J.J. Johnson is joined by a string orchestra arranged by Robert Farnon for most of the performances on this CD. Farnon's sweeping scores can sometimes come closer to movie music and muzak than jazz but the high quality of the songs and a few surprising departures make this CD recommended. Wynton Marsalis has three guest appearances ... see all copies from $5.81!
7	Happy Time (1962) more music like this by Junior Mance Pianist Junior Mance was in excellent company on this inspired 1962 session with bassist Ron Carter and drummer Mickey Roker. Its unfortunate this trio only recorded together on this one date as their unity propels the blues, gospel, and bebop ideas Mance consistently feeds them. The program is highlighted by three Mance originals "Out South," ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
8	Oscillatin' Rhythm: Great Swing Hits in Hi-Fi (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Blue Note designed Oscillatin' Rhythm: Great Swing Hits in Hi-Fi to appeal to Gen-X hipsters enamored with Sinatra, martinis, lounge music, cigars and Swingers. Unfortunately, the label didn't quite understand that the twentysomethings were celebrating the kitsch of '50s easy listening and the suave humor of the Rat Pack -- the music, in most ... see all copies from $10.61!
9	The Uncollected Jimmie Lunceford and His Harlem Express (1944) (1944) more music like this by Jimmie Lunceford & His Orchestra This LP from the Hindsight label features Jimmie Lunceford's wartime orchestra from a live concert before military personnel in Missouri. The playing time is very brief (barely 29 minutes), making this an album of lesser interest for general collectors. Jimmie Lunceford has a rare appearance on flute during "Holiday for Strings" and other ... see all copies from $3.13! new only from $7.17!

11	Anthology 1934-1942 (2007) more music like this by Jimmie Lunceford Jimmie Lunceford's orchestra was one of the definitive swinging big bands of the '30s, in the same league as the bands led by Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Don Redman, Claude Hopkins, Earl Hines, Count Basie and Chick Webb. The Jimmie Lunceford orchestra served as an incubator for jazz talent like trombonist Trummy Young, saxophonist Willie ... see all copies from $12.01! new only from $12.01!

14 view cover	Recollections of the Big Band Era (1976) more music like this by Duke Ellington This budget-priced, 23-track CD consists of the recordings of big-band standards that Duke Ellington originally did for Reprise in the early '60s. One suspects there was a quid pro quo here -- he would cut these '30s and '40s standards, which were certain to make money, for Reprise, and that same label, in turn, would record his symphonic music. ... see all copies from $5.19!
15 view cover	Okeh Jazz (1947) more music like this by Various Artists The Okeh label is best known for its recordings of the 1920s but it actually lasted on and off into the '50s. This double LP reissues a variety of formerly rare recordings by tenor-saxophonist Arnett Cobb (spirited R&Bish performances), tenor Johnny Griffin in 1954 (his first session as a leader), trumpeter Red Rodney (a fine jump date from 1952), ... see all copies from $9.46!

17 view cover	Music of Jimmie Lunceford (1992) more music like this by American Jazz Orchestra with John Lewis Conducting Excellent tribute work from The American Jazz Orchestra, an assemblage of masterful talents that unfortunately had to disband due to a lack of financial support.
