1	American Tune (2003) more music like this by Eva Cassidy The saga of Eva Cassidy, the late Washington, D.C., singer who gained fame long after her early passing from melanoma, continues vibrantly on American Tune, a collection of ten more "leftovers" that former bandmates discovered in the past year -- similarly as they did on Imagine, the previous release of great cuts. While she never achieved much ... see all copies from $8.94! new only from $14.95!
2	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program is the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, its 94 selections covering the history ... see all copies from $50.96! new only from $50.96!
3	The Essential Tony Bennett [Columbia/Legacy] (2002) more music like this by Tony Bennett Like most entries in Sony/Legacy's Essential series, 2002's The Essential Tony Bennett is an excellent, exhaustive retrospective of a lengthy, hit-filled career at Columbia. Although Bennett spent time at other labels -- particularly in the '70s -- he made his best-known and greatest recordings for Columbia, from the late '50s through the '90s, ... see all copies from $6.59! new only from $10.99!
4	The Only Big Band CD You'll Ever Need (2000) more music like this by Various Artists While the title alone would seem to invite criticism, it's a justified tag, as this 20-track collection rounds up some pretty serious contenders. Kicking off with Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo," Benny Goodman's "Stompin' at the Savoy," and Duke Ellington's "Take the 'A' Train," the set includes signature tunes from Woody Herman, Artie Shaw ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $12.22!
5	The Fabulous Dorseys (1991) more music like this by Tommy Dorsey see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.48!
6	Diz and Getz [Remastered] (2001) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Dizzy Gillespie was at the peak of his powers throughout the '50s, still the pacesetter among trumpeters. This double CD matches Dizzy with Stan Getz, the Oscar Peterson Trio and drummer Max Roach. Getz, although identified with the "cool" school, thrived on competition and is both relaxed and combative on the up-tempo explorations of "It Don't ... see all copies from $9.57! new only from $9.57!
7	Great Ladies of Jazz [Rebound] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Though there are only 12 tracks on this collection, the selections are impeccable: two standards by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington each, plus individual tracks by Lena Horne, Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln and Shirley Horn. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.49! new only from $2.99!
8	Summer Wind: Live at the Loa (1988) more music like this by Ray Brown Trio Ray Brown has many great contributions to jazz as a leader and a sideman, but one additional way in which he helped jazz was his encouraging Gene Harris to give up his early retirement and go back out on the road. The pianist was a part of Brown's groups for several years before he formed a working quartet and became a leader for good once again. ... see all copies from $6.25! new only from $10.10!
9	The Best of Joe Williams: The Roulette, Solid State & Blue Note Years (1997) more music like this by Joe Williams The Best of Joe Williams: The Roulette, Solid State & Blue Note Years is an excellent sampler of Williams' work for Roulette and Solid State, providing a terrific overview of Williams' early records. Most of these 18 tracks feature Williams with the Count Basie Orchestra; there are also several cuts with Jimmy Jones, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Horace ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.18!
10	Blue Rose (1956) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Rosemary Clooney may have seemed to be a surprising choice to be featured with Duke Ellington & His Orchestra, but this collaboration is extremely successful in spite of the fact that Clooney was unable to join the band in the studio due to complications of a very difficult pregnancy. The solution was for the band to record the music (after Billy ... see all copies from $5.61! new only from $5.61!
11 view cover	Uptown (1990) more music like this by Andre Previn with Mundell Lowe and Ray Brown This was André Previn's second album after his long, symphonically enforced absence from jazz, and it sounds noticeably more fluid and relaxed than his first. No longer apprehensive about dusting off his old skills, Previn is delightfully confident and breezy (dig his sly turns on "Come Rain or Come Shine" and "C Jam Blues"), taking some chances ... see all copies from $6.60! new only from $7.92!
12 view cover	Corrina Corrina [Original Soundtrack] (1994) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $2.98! new only from $8.95!
13 view cover	Duke Elegant (2000) more music like this by Dr. John Duke Elegant certainly wasn't the only tribute to Duke Ellington put out in honor of the 100th anniversary of the legendary bandleader, nor was it even the first time Dr. John had tackled his material. But it would be hard to find a better homage than this one. Dr. John proves a surprisingly good match for Ellington's material, placing a ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $9.72!
14 view cover	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 $25.93! new only from $25.93!
15 view cover	Betty Carter's Finest Hour (2003) more music like this by Betty Carter This collection of Betty Carter's Verve material may not literally be her finest hour of recorded music, but it is easily her finest hour of recordings for the labels associated with Verve, which include not only her later Verve recordings, but also those on ABC from the early 1960s. There are 14 cuts on the set, including such well-known Carter ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!
16 view cover	Ella & Duke at the Côte D'Azur (1966) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald/Duke Ellington This two-disc package features highlights from several concerts by Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald during the Le Festival International de Jazz d'Antibes-Juan-les-Pins in the south of France between July 26 and July 29, 1966. Both jazz legends are in top form throughout and the obvious affection between them results in some sublime musical ... see all copies from $7.53! new only from $19.88!
17 view cover	A Master & His Music (2001) more music like this by Chet Atkins see all copies from $6.85! new only from $11.06!
18 view cover	Swing [Original Broadway Cast] (2000) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast The "swing" revival in popular music in the late '90s was tailor-made for Broadway revivalists, always looking for a way to put dance onstage, so it's no surprise that somebody (actually, a large group of people, by the list of producers) put a musical revue called Swing! on in the fall of 1999. But like the "swing" revival it references, Swing! ... see all copies from $3.89! new only from $10.93!
19 view cover	The Best of Chuck Brown (2005) more music like this by Chuck Brown see all copies from $13.37! new only from $15.07!
20 view cover	Swing Kids [Original Soundtrack] (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack At its best, Swing Kids fills the listener with the relentless passion, sensuality, and joy that is swing music. Not tapping your feet or dancing to the material presented is nearly impossible. Unfortunately, composer James Horner also fills the album with moody orchestral music that takes away some of the momentum. Still, the best cuts are so ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $12.86!
21 view cover	The Django Reinhardt NY Festival: Live at Birdland (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Whether or not many jazz guitarists have any gypsy blood, the influence of Django Reinhardt is often readily apparent in their playing. The Django Reinhardt NY Festival saluted the late master with several critically acclaimed concerts at Birdland in the fall of 2000, featuring no fewer than five Django-influenced guitarists, including his son, ... see all copies from $5.91! new only from $16.24!
22 view cover	Shake Those Hula Hips (2001) more music like this by Big Kahuna & the Copa Cat Pack Hawaiian swing masters Big Kahuna & the Copa Cat Pack entertain you on 14 great songs that span the musical style spectrum. Included are the theme songs from the television series Hawaii Five-O and I Dream of Jeannie, each with new arrangements by Matt Catingub, and such priceless standards as Duke Ellington's 1932 hit "It Don't Mean a Thing (If ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.85!
23 view cover	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 $21.33! new only from $21.33!
24 view cover	Swing Shift (2006) more music like this by Chapter 6 see all copies from $7.98! new only from $10.98!
25 view cover	Jazz Singer (2003) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney After finishing her period as one of the Clooney Sisters with Tony Pastor's orchestra, Rosemary Clooney became famous for her pop hits on the Columbia label in the early '50s. Although never really a jazz singer on a consistent basis, Clooney had a few opportunities to record in jazz settings in the 1950s, most notably an album with Duke Ellington ... see all copies from $5.61! new only from $5.61!
