1	The Very Best of Duke Ellington (2000) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $11.04! new only from $11.04!
2	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 $34.29! new only from $34.29!
3	The Best of the Duke Ellington Centennial Edition (1999) more music like this by Duke Ellington This compilation of some of Ellington's most popular, enduring, and important RCA Victor sides from a period of 40 years (October 26, 1927, to August 30, 1967) consists of 18 tracks, drawn from the remastered tracks on BMG's 24-CD Ellington Centennial box. That's hardly enough to address the range of changes in Ellington's style, but it does give ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $10.66!
4	Ellington Masterpieces (1988) more music like this by Conducting American Jazz Orchestra with John Lewis With musicological thoroughness, some crack musicians and the best of intentions, John Lewis leads New York's American Jazz Orchestra in 15 transcriptions from one of Duke Ellington's prime periods (1940-43), plus "Rockin' In Rhythm" from 1930. If you had not heard the originals, you would probably come away from these reinterpretations ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.21!
5	Masterpieces: 1926-1949 (2001) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $40.19! new only from $40.19!
6	The Carnegie Hall Concerts (January 1943) (1943) more music like this by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra This two-CD set captures one of the milestones in Duke Ellington's long and extremely productive career, highlighted by his monumental suite "Black, Brown and Beige" in the only full-length version ever recorded by his orchestra; soon it was only performed as excerpts. In addition, Ellington's all-star orchestra (including such stylists as ... see all copies from $21.89! new only from $21.89!
7	For Ellington (1988) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet This is a tribute album that works quite well. The Modern Jazz Quartet is heard at their best on such Duke Ellington tunes as "Rockin' in Rhythm," "Jack the Bear" and "Ko-Ko." Also quite noteworthy are their two newer pieces, John Lewis's "For Ellington" and Milt Jackson's "Maestro E.K.E." which perfectly capture the spirit of Ellington's music. ... see all copies from $7.54! new only from $9.17!
8	Golden Greats (2002) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $2.13! new only from $17.79!
9	The Duke Box (2007) more music like this by Duke Ellington During the 1940s, the Duke Ellington and Count Basie orchestras were the medulla oblongata in the central nervous system of jazz throughout the United States of America. The evolution of Duke's unparalleled orchestra during that very transitional decade is etched in commercially issued phonograph records; when the listener is able to follow this ... see all copies from $70.48! new only from $70.48!

13 view cover	The Duke Ellington Treasury, Vol. 5 [Storyville] (2002) more music like this by Duke Ellington This two-CD set, like others in the Treasury Show series, compiles several programs aired during 1945. With a mix of hits from the vast Ellington songbook, pop songs, a few obscurities, and even a few war bond promos read somewhat nervously by Duke Ellington himself, these live sets might not exactly be programmed like a typical band set during ... see all copies from $34.32! new only from $34.32!
14 view cover	Music Is My Mistress (1989) more music like this by Mercer Ellington w/The Duke Ellington Orchestra By the late '80s, Mercer Ellington was leading a part-time Duke Ellington Orchestra (he should have used his own name to avoid confusion with the classic band) and doing his best to preserve Duke's legacy. In addition to fresh versions of some vintage tunes (including "C Jam Blues," "Black and Tan Fantasy," "Jack the Bear," and Billy Strayhorn's ... see all copies from $2.70!

16 view cover	Big Band Jazz & Blues (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99!
17 view cover	The Duke at His Best (1999) more music like this by Duke Ellington A disc with a title like this always seems to be open to scrutiny and usually comes up far short of what the title boasts. But this one takes all its hits ("Take the 'A' Train," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," "Caravan," "I'm Beginning to See the Light," "Caravan," "Perdido," "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," "Sophisticated Lady," "I Got It ... see all copies from $7.95!

21 view cover	Flyin' High 1949-1959 (2006) more music like this by Edmond Hall A pair of formerly very rare LPs are reissued on this CD that features the distinctive clarinetist Edmond Hall. The last eight selections are chosen from the dozen originally issued by the New Hampshire Library of Traditional Jazz, taken from a 1949 radio broadcast. Teamed with trumpeter Johnny Windhurst and trombonist Vic Dickenson in a sextet, ... see all copies from $14.86! new only from $14.86!
22 view cover	Duke Ellington: Complete Columbia and RCA Victor Sessions (2001) more music like this by Duke Ellington/Ben Webster/Jimmy Blanton When BMG issued the Never No Lament sides, a triple-CD package finally remastered with all the right stuff, it would have seemed that the jazz punters finally had a definitive version of the classic Jimmy Blanton/Ben Webster edition of Duke Ellington and His Orchestra. Not so. Spain's Definitive Classics has just issued an audiophile version of ... see all copies from $49.61! new only from $49.61!

25 view cover	Live at Schaffhausen: March 1978 (2003) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet see all copies from $25.14! new only from $25.14!
