1	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: A Musical Journey (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack This five-disc, 116-track box set presents a sweeping history of the blues from its emergence in the early 1900s clear through to its various contemporary guises, and includes samples of country blues in all of its regional variations, as well as cuts from string bands, jug bands, jazz combos, gritty Chicago blues outfits, and a look at how rock ... see all copies from $59.39! new only from $59.39!
2	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Benny Goodman Benny Goodman's volume in the Ken Burns Jazz series ranges from one of his first recording appearances, on a 1927 side by Ben Pollack, all the way to the late '50s. Of the 22 tracks, there are many highlights including "Body and Soul" from his trio (with Teddy Wilson and Gene Krupa), plus two songs from his legendary 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $11.06!

5	Apex Blues (1928) more music like this by Jimmie Noone This CD reissues the first dozen selections from clarinetist Jimmie Noone's Apex Club Orchestra (all of the numbers with pianist Earl Hines, although not the four alternate takes), plus eight slightly later numbers.

8	Put It There: 1928-1929 (1999) more music like this by McKinney's Cotton Pickers Having already been in business a few years, McKinney's Cotton Pickers really came into their own in 1928 with the addition of arrangers Don Redman and John Nesbitt. Redman, whose sophisticated charts had already lit up classic Fletcher Henderson sides, helped forge the transition from early jazz to swing with his fluid and streamlined writing and ... see all copies from $16.79! new only from $16.79!
9	At the Mill Hill Playhouse (2003) more music like this by Kenny Davern Quartet One of the nice things about the revival of classic jazz styles has been the appearance of instruments not originally associated with older styles. Guitar, for instance, wasn't a common lead instrument until bop came along in the 1940s. In 2003, however, no one blinks when veteran clarinetist Kenny Davern is joined by guitarist James Chirillo on ... see all copies from $14.84! new only from $14.84!
10	Hot Stuff: Black Chicago Bands 1922-1929 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A 24-track collection of impossibly rare jazz sides from the first Chicago-based African-American bands to record. Kicking off with the 1922 test pressing by the mysterious Sunset Band, the collection brings together rarities from Elgar's Creole Orchestra, Fess Williams & His Joy Boys, Carroll Dickerson's Savoy Orchestra, Walter Barnes & His ... see all copies from $15.82! new only from $15.82!
11 view cover	Tampa Red (1928-1942) (1928) more music like this by Tampa Red Tampa Red sang and played the guitar and kazoo with a joy and flair that made almost every tune he did instantly unforgettable. His early work has been reissued and repackaged so often that it's easy to get caught in the mire. These are marvelous cuts, matching him with various accompanists, including Georgia Tom (later Dr. Thomas A. Dorsey), and ... see all copies from $42.95!
12	The Copulatin' Blues [Stash CD] (1929) more music like this by Various Artists The Stash label began in 1976 with a dozen or so LPs that featured subject matter from the 1930s that was considered risque for the period. In the case of this album, the 16 selections all have to do with sex; several cuts were previously unreleased and few had very wide circulation. Such top jazz and blues artists as Sidney Bechet, Lil Johnson, ... see all copies from $44.95! new only from $44.95!
13 view cover	Don't Tampa with the Blues (1961) more music like this by Tampa Red The kazoo-toting bluesman wasn't as powerful a presence when he came back in 1960 to record this set in a solo setting as he was in his Bluebird heyday, but it's hard to resist these agreeable versions of "Let Me Play with Your Poodle," "Love Her with a Feeling, " and "It's Tight like That" nonetheless.

14 view cover	Georgia Blues (1928-1933) (1994) more music like this by Various Artists The Atlanta blues scene of the 1920s was among the most fertile in all the South, with a steady stream of rural musicians converging on the city hoping to gain exposure playing the local club circuit, with any luck rising to perform at Decatur Street's famed 81 Theatre; Georgia Blues 1928-1933 assembles sides from some of the era's most prominent ... see all copies from $21.99! new only from $21.99!

16 view cover	The Great Debaters [Original Soundtrack] (2007) more music like this by Original Soundtrack In the Denzel Washington-directed film The Great Debaters, based on a true story, Washington plays teacher and poet Melvin B. Tolson, who led an African-American college debating team during the racially charged 1930s to such success that it was able to compete against all odds with leading white teams at Harvard. For the film, Washington ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $8.50!

18	Hawk and Roy (1974) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins This LP compilation features two separate pairs of recording sessions made for Varsity from 1939 and 1940 led by Coleman Hawkins or Roy Eldridge. Hawkins is in good form, although he doesn't overly dominate either date, instead treating them like meetings with friends. Benny Carter, who doubles on alto sax and trumpet, is heard on both instruments ... see all copies from $11.00!
19 view cover	The Alternative Takes: 1923-1941 (2001) more music like this by Jimmie Noone The Alternative Takes series is of immense value to consumers of the "French Classics" CD series.
