2	Stompin' at the Savoy [ASV/Living Era] (2002) more music like this by Chick Webb Diminutive fireball Chick Webb led the most explosive swing band of the '30s, and though the group was far too active to enter the studio as much as they deserved, it's easier to sum up their recordings with a single disc. (In fact, the completist Classics series needed only two volumes to sum up Webb's decade behind the drums of his own band.) ... see all copies from $7.81! new only from $11.30!

4	Spinnin' the Web (1929) more music like this by Chick Webb & His Orchestra Drummer Chick Webb led one of the finest swing bands of the 1930s but ironically his orchestra is today best-remembered for backing singer Ella Fitzgerald in her early days. This CD consists of 20 instrumentals (other than a Louis Bacon vocal on "Blues in My Heart" and Ward Pinkett's scatting on "Dog Bottom") and allows one to hear how strong a ... see all copies from $19.22!
5	Drop Me Off in Harlem (2004) more music like this by Various Artists One of a few available compilations that riff on the presence of the word Harlem in jazz material -- mostly from the late '20s and early '30s -- Living Era's Drop Me Off in Harlem includes a majority of the musical figures active in the Harlem Renaissance of the period. Among the excellent performances are Duke Ellington's strutting "Harlem Air ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
6	Golden Greats: Greatest Swing (2002) more music like this by Various Artists This is a three-CD budget collection of many great swing tunes performed by the biggest names in swing music. The sound quality is good, as are the performances, but the lack of discographical information could be frustrating to jazz aficionados. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.49! new only from $19.19!
7	Swingsation (1998) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Chick Webb A collection of 18 tracks from Ella Fitzgerald's beginnings as a performer, these songs have her in front of Chick Webb's orchestra. For those discovering the First Lady of Song, this is an excellent place to start. You'll hear the voice of a young Fitzgerald on some of her goofiest jive numbers like "When I Get Low I Get High," "Vote for Mr. ... see all copies from $89.77!
8	Harlem Was the Place 1929-1952 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Originally a Dutch settlement, the portion of Manhattan known as Harlem was a pleasant, ethnically diverse district when Thomas "Fats" Waller was born there in 1904. During the 1920s, '30s, and '40s Harlem became the East Coast focal point for the Afro-American aspect of the U.S. entertainment industry and the prime stomping-and-proving-ground for ... see all copies from $33.06! new only from $33.06!
