1	Swingin' New Big Band (1966) more music like this by Buddy Rich 1966 was a most illogical time for anyone to try forming a new big band but Buddy Rich beat the odds. This CD reissues the first album by the Buddy Rich Orchestra, augmenting the original Lp program with nine previously unissued performances from the same sessions. The arrangements (eight by Oliver Nelson along with charts by Bill Holman, Phil ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $11.13!
2	Exclusively for My Friends [Box Set] (1963) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Oscar Peterson has stated that he feels his MPS recordings are his finest. That is quite a statement considering the huge amount of records that the pianist has produced through the past 50 years. This four-CD set reissues the music from six of his MPS LPs: Action, Girl Talk, The Way I Really Play, My Favorite Instrument, Mellow Mood, and Travelin ... see all copies from $11.94! new only from $16.35!
3	Portraits of Duke Ellington (1974) more music like this by Joe Pass Recorded just a month after Duke Ellington's death, this tribute album (reissued on CD) features guitarist Joe Pass (just beginning to become famous), bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Bobby Durham jamming on eight Ellington tunes and "Caravan" (which was penned by one of Duke's key sidemen, Juan Tizol). The interplay between the three musicians is ... see all copies from $11.31! new only from $13.71!
4	Take the "A" Train (1956) more music like this by Betty Roché This CD (put out by Evidence) brings back singer Betty Roché's definitive session. Although she had sung briefly with Duke Ellington on two occasions in 1943 and the early '50s, fame had eluded Roché. After this album she would record two more records (available in the Original Jazz Classics series) over the next few years and then disappear ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $70.21!
5	The Great Summit: The Master Takes (2001) more music like this by Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington were (and are) two of the main stems of jazz. Any way you look at it, just about everything that's ever happened in this music leads directly -- or indirectly -- back to them. Both men were born on the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries, and each became established as a leader during the middle '20s. Although ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $11.13!
6	Erroll Garner's Finest Hour (2003) more music like this by Erroll Garner Erroll Garner's Finest Hour contains tracks recorded by the pianist for Verve between 1945 and 1955, and truly does represent his best material for the imprint. This is where he developed his sublime melodic and harmonic improvisation technique. Cuts like "Embraceable You," with his fluid right hand dancing over the keys, or his nearly definitive ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
7	Night Hawk (1960) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins with Eddie Davis Hawkins was one of the main inspirations of his fellow tenor Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, so it was logical that they would one day meet up in the recording studio. This CD has many fine moments from these two highly competitive jazzmen, particularly the lengthy title cut and a heated tradeoff on "In a Mellow Tone," on which Davis goes higher but ... see all copies from $10.71! new only from $10.71!
8	The Great Summit: Complete Sessions [Deluxe Edition] (2000) more music like this by Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington The master takes of this two-CD set have appeared previously on a number of reissues on both LP and CD as a compilation of the original two individual records Together for the First Time and The Great Reunion, but this release easily beats all of the previous issues. Two music legends, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, met in the studio for two ... see all copies from $26.35! new only from $26.35!
9	Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to the Music of Buddy Rich, Vol. 2 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Like the first volume, Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to the Music of Buddy Rich, Vol. 2 assembles a shifting cast of virtuoso trap-set players sitting in with the Buddy Rich Big Band in order to pay tribute to its legendary founder. There are fewer rock drummers this time around, although Bill Bruford and Neil Peart are back. In fact, many of these ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $11.11!
10	Pastiche (1976) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer The dictionary definition of "pastiche" is an artistic composition imitating or caricaturing previous works, so given the lack of homegrown material here, it is hard to say what the Manhattan Transfer meant by this title. In any case, this assortment of odds and ends from various eras in American music -- recorded in New York, Los Angeles, ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $14.97!
11 view cover	The Original Misty (1954) more music like this by Erroll Garner Erroll Garner's first album for Mercury Records, The Original "Misty" from the Piano Virtuoso, is a lovely, swinging record that spotlights his light, sophisticated style. Supported by bassist Wyatt Ruther, drummer Eugene "Fats" Heard and conga player Candido Camero, Garner swings a number of standards -- "You Are My Sunshine," "I've Got the World ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
12 view cover	Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band (2003) more music like this by Duke Ellington Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band, covering the years 1939-1942 in the great composer and bandleader's career, is essentially the third time that RCA has issued this material on CD. The first was a botched job, appalling even, with its flattened-out, compressed sound, along with a chopped version of "Take the A-Train" and other sonic and ... see all copies from $35.59! new only from $35.59!
13 view cover	Something's Cookin'/Goodies (2001) more music like this by Howard Roberts In 2001, Euphoria released Something's Cookin'/Goodies, which combined two albums by guitarist Howard Roberts on one compact disc: Something's Cookin' (1964) and Goodies (1965), both originally issued on Capitol. Tim Sendra, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.13! new only from $15.42!
14 view cover	In Concert (2000) more music like this by Martin Taylor Following a series of brilliant releases for the Scottish label Linn during the 1990s, the recording of Martin Taylor's stunning 1998 solo concert at the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild eclipses all of them with performances worthy of comparison to the guitar master Joe Pass. Taylor's intricate opening version of "They Can't Take That Away From Me" ... see all copies from $14.37! new only from $14.37!
15 view cover	Nat King Cole at the Sands [Reissue] (2002) more music like this by Nat King Cole A year after Nat King Cole's death, Capitol Records released this "live" album, recorded at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas on January 14, 1960. There is a historical interest, in that this is the only Cole concert recording, and it's an enjoyable performance, with more up-tempo numbers than ballads and a piano solo on "Where or When" that ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
16 view cover	Seven, Come Eleven (1973) more music like this by Herb Ellis/Joe Pass/Ray Brown/Jake Hanna The second Concord album was recorded the day after the first with the same lineup: guitarists Herb Ellis and Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jake Hanna. Pass would sign with Pablo but Ellis would be a fixture on the Concord label throughout the 1970s. If anything, the guitarists' rematch was a bit stronger than their first due to material ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
17 view cover	Bennett Sings Ellington: Hot & Cool (1999) more music like this by Tony Bennett Tony Bennett's practically inevitable commemoration of the Duke Ellington centenary is an appropriately blue-chip affair, with a big band and orchestra augmenting the Ralph Sharon Quartet on arrangements by Jorge Calandrelli, who has slowed the tempos to give the singer time to give intimate interpretations to the lyrics of songs like "Mood Indigo ... see all copies from $2.30! new only from $9.93!
18 view cover	Jazz for Kids: Everybody's Boppin' (2000) more music like this by Lisa Yves The concept of Jazz for Kids, Everybody's Boppin' is not exactly new, but Lisa Yves has the right idea when it comes to tapping young people for their musical talent at an early age. On this CD, she assembles children ranging in ages from six to 14 in the studio for a magical session that brought forth their renditions of "Sing, Sing, Sing," "Be ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $8.49!
19 view cover	With All the Bells and Whistles (1995) more music like this by Bob Florence Limited Edition Arranger/pianist Bob Florence's release for the MAMA Foundation may very well be his finest; it certainly offers a strong sampling of his talents. Four of the ten songs are standards, and "Oceanography" is based closely on "How Deep Is the Ocean," but Florence's complex yet logical arrangements make each piece sound like it was written for the ... see all copies from $14.79! new only from $14.79!
20 view cover	The Blanton-Webster Band (1939) more music like this by Duke Ellington This attractive three-CD set contains the master takes of all 66 selections recorded by Duke Ellington's Orchestra during what many historians consider its peak period. Left out are the many alternate takes, last released by European labels, and the Duke Ellington-Jimmy Blanton duets, which are available on a different CD. Included are dozens of ... see all copies from $29.00! new only from $286.66!
21 view cover	16 Most Requested Songs (1994) more music like this by Duke Ellington An entertaining overview of some of Duke Ellington's most popular material, 16 Most Requested Songs has some fine music, but it is too incomplete to even be a thorough introduction to his career. Nevertheless, it's an entertaining sampler. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.93! new only from $6.44!
22 view cover	Mancini Plays Mancini & Other Composers [1999] (1999) more music like this by Henry Mancini see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.54!
23 view cover	Swing Back to the 40s (1991) more music like this by Ray Anthony Orchestra see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.07!
24 view cover	Standing Eight (1998) more music like this by Rahsaan Roland Kirk In 1998, 32 Jazz reissued three albums from Rahsaan Roland Kirk's late period on the double CD A Standing Eight. Those albums were The Return of the 5000lb. Man and Kirkatron -- both of which consisted of recordings made not long before the innovator suffered a debilitating stroke in 1975 -- and the post-stroke session Boogie-Woogie String Along ... see all copies from $20.98!
25 view cover	Revelations (1988) more music like this by McCoy Tyner On McCoy Tyner's first solo piano album in 16 years, the remarkable stylist really digs into six standards (including "Yesterdays," "In A Mellow Tone" and "Don't Blame Me") and four of his originals (highlighted by "You Taught My Heart To Sing"). Although somewhat typecast as John Coltrane's fiery pianist, Tyner at times on this record sounds ... see all copies from $19.96!
