1	Bix & Tram (1927) more music like this by Bix Beiderbecke/Frankie Trumbauer This newly appended collection encompasses most every record that these two men made together, augmented by the Bix & His Gang sessions and a handful of uncommon sides from both 1924 and 1934, which pre- and post-date Tram's involvement with Bix. Three of the four discs each contain no less than 13 instrumentals, ranging from solid to positively ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $27.69!
2	The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order (2000) more music like this by Django Reinhardt This budget five-disc box collects Reinhardt's first 124 recordings between 1934-1939. Curiously enough, despite the title, these sides aren't chronological, a fact that engineer Ted Kendall admits in the liner notes. Rather, while each disc's featured sessions are presented mostly chronologically, the discs themselves are rather awkwardly ... see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!
3	Swinging with Strings (2001) more music like this by Skitch Henderson Although he was the first bandleader on the original Tonight Show orchestra (when Steve Allen was its host) and founder of the New York Pops and also a frequent guest conductor, this is Skitch Henderson's first recording as a pianist in quite some time. Many of the lightly swinging arrangements feature a quartet of fiddlers (Darol Anger, Glenn ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.24!
4	Nuages [Arkadia Jazz] (1997) more music like this by Django Reinhardt That Django Reinhardt was an original and a virtuoso was impressive enough. But what is astounding about his playing is that it was accomplished by someone who only had the use of two fingers on his left hand; he had been severely burned as a young man and lost the use of his ring and pinkie fingers. 45 years after his death there are still French ... see all copies from $9.37! new only from $9.37!
5	Stompin' at the Savoy [Beacon] (1997) more music like this by Benny Goodman see all copies from $2.00!
6	The Best of the Big Bands (1936) more music like this by Artie Shaw Artie Shaw's first big band was quite unusual, originally comprised of four horns, a string quartet and a four-piece rhythm section. This unimaginatively titled CD (whose chatty liner notes unfortunately do not include personnel and date information) has the first 16 recordings by this fine orchestra, featuring vocals by the forgettable Wesley ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!
7	Golden Greats (2003) more music like this by Django Reinhardt The Disky box set Golden Greats salutes a true great, the gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt, who did more to revolutionize the instrument than all but a handful of prewar musicians. Over three discs and 75 tracks, the set traces the influence of Reinhardt and his Quintet of the Hot Club of France with a parade of classics: "Swing de Paris," ... see all copies from $17.15! new only from $17.15!
8	Swing 39 (2001) more music like this by Django Reinhardt There is something carefree and joyful about the music of Django Reinhardt; something that comes bubbling to the surface every time he begins a wild run of notes on his acoustic guitar. Of course the swinging style of Stephane Grappelli's violin doesn't hurt. Nor do great songs like "Tea for Two," "My Melancholy Baby," and "Jeepers Creepers." ... see all copies from $10.06! new only from $10.06!
9	I Got Rhythm [Jazz Hour] (1996) more music like this by Django Reinhardt see all copies from $2.08! new only from $2.08!
10	Jazz in Paris: Louis Armstrong and Friends (2002) more music like this by Louis Armstrong The title of this compilation is a bit misleading, as Louis Armstrong only appears on seven of the CD's 20 tracks. All of them were recorded during a visit by the trumpeter to France in 1934 and were made on the sly, since he was under an exclusive contract to another label. The all-stars were primarily European musicians assembled for the session ... see all copies from $4.91! new only from $4.91!

12 view cover	Bix Restored, Vol. 4 (2003) more music like this by Bix Beiderbecke Just in time for the 2003 Bix Beiderbecke centennial, Sunbeam completes its collection of the complete Beiderbecke on three well-packed CDs. The set picks up the thread from volume three, with more marathon Paul Whiteman Orchestra sessions spelled now and then by smaller groups fronted by Frankie Trumbauer and Beiderbecke himself, gradually ... see all copies from $38.44! new only from $38.44!

14 view cover	His First Three Bands: 1936-1940 (2003) more music like this by Artie Shaw Artie Shaw is acknowledged as one of the great jazz clarinetists and bandleaders of the swing era. Initially, Shaw's combination of odd, modernistic charts and his lack of leadership ability made it impossible to keep a functioning band together. By 1940, however, Shaw had worked out the kinks and found himself in the same league as Benny Goodman ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $10.00!
15 view cover	All or Nothing at All (1939) more music like this by Harry James & His Orchestra This 17-track, 53-and-a-half-minute disc of air checks chronicles the first year of the Harry James band, when a 23-year-old Frank Sinatra was its featured male vocalist. Sinatra is heard on nine tracks, eight of which are also heard in their studio versions on Legacy/Columbia's The Complete Recordings, also released on CD in 1995, and thus make ... see all copies from $3.58! new only from $3.58!
16 view cover	1935 (1996) more music like this by Benny Goodman This CD traces the evolution of Benny Goodman's orchestra from the beginning of 1935 when they were comparatively unknown to the beginning of July when they were on the brink of success, even though Benny Goodman was no longer appearing on the Let's Dance radio series and was about to embark on a risky cross-country trip. Singer Helen Ward, ... see all copies from $10.00!
17 view cover	Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this by Paul Whiteman This is a better than decent representative collection, 22 songs (all from his first stay on the Victor label), covering the repertoire from "The Japanese Sandman" to "Rhapsody in Blue" during the years 1920-1928, when Paul Whiteman was among the most popular and progressive bandleaders in the country. The jazz elements are rather muted -- ... see all copies from $19.00!
18 view cover	Portrait of Benny Goodman (1998) more music like this by Benny Goodman see all copies from $7.23! new only from $14.85!
19 view cover	Stompin' (1995) more music like this by Benny Goodman see all copies from $5.49! new only from $26.30!
20 view cover	Thou Swell (1936) more music like this by Artie Shaw & His Orchestra A '92 CD reissue of pre-hit Shaw material with his combo, recorded in 1936 and 1937. His clarinet solos were just as masterful and accomplished in this period as in the 1938-1945 era, but there were no compositions that caught the audience's attention, nor were his vocalists as strong as those that came later. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.49!
21 view cover	Sing the Dancing 20's/Fresh and Fancy Free (2002) more music like this by The Andrews Sisters In 2002, EMI released Sing the Dancing 20's/Fresh and Fancy Free, which contained two albums -- Sing the Dancing 20's (1958, originally released on Capitol) and Fresh and Fancy Free (1957, also originally released on Capitol) -- by the Andrews Sisters on one compact disc. Tim Sendra, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.82! new only from $8.82!
22 view cover	The Art of Bix Beiderbecke (2006) more music like this by Bix Beiderbecke In 2006 Primo brought out a 40-track collection entitled The Art of Bix Beiderbecke. Loosely covering a time span extending from June 20, 1924 to May 21, 1930, this pleasantly jumbled portrait touches briefly upon Bix's early work with the Wolverine Orchestra and the Sioux City Six; revisits his collaborations with C melody saxophonist Frankie ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
23 view cover	Benny Goodman [2004] (2004) more music like this by Benny Goodman see all copies from $9.38! new only from $9.38!
24 view cover	The Artie Shaw Story (2005) more music like this by Artie Shaw The Artie Shaw Story is a decent collection that features the majority of the clarinetist/bandleader's most popular songs recorded for RCA/Bluebird in the late '30s and early '40s. The 107 tracks include the standards "Frenesi," "Summit Ridge Drive," "Concerto for Clarinet," and "Begin the Beguine." While the majority of this material is timeless, ... see all copies from $21.46! new only from $21.46!
25 view cover	I'm a Dreamer, Aren't We All (1999) more music like this by Daryl Sherman A superior swing singer and pianist, Daryl Sherman is heard on her earliest recordings as a leader on this CD reissue. The original 11 selections, recorded in 1983, are augmented by a previously unreleased version of "It's Bad for Me" and three numbers from 1981 that have never been out before. The latter has Sherman joined by cornetist Richard ... see all copies from $14.39! new only from $14.39!
