1	At Newport 1956 Complete (1999) more music like this by Duke Ellington One of the greatest live jazz festival recordings ever has gotten better, and more interesting as well, with this 1999 reissue, a result of the kind of effort that most record companies normally won't even discuss. Ellington's original 1956 Newport album was his best-selling long-player ever, and re-established him, after a two-year drought in the ... see all copies from $21.33! new only from $21.33!
2	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!
3	The Floating Jazz Festival Trio 1996 (1997) more music like this by The Floating Jazz Festival Trio Backed by bassist Keith Betts, saxophonist Joe Temperley and drummer Jackie Williams, Mance turns in inspired readings of selections from the Duke Ellington songbook on this date from the 1996 Floating Jazz Festival.

5	Johnny Hodges with Billy Strayhorn and the Orchestra (1961) more music like this by Johnny Hodges Alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges recorded frequently for Verve in the 1950s and 1960s, although nearly all of the musicians on this CD are from the Ellington orchestra and the arrangements are by Billy Strayhorn. Hodges is never less than superb throughout this reissue, while Lawrence Brown, Harry Carney and non-Ellingtonians Howard McGhee on ... see all copies from $13.20! new only from $13.20!
6	The Year of the Rabbit (1987) more music like this by Bobby Watson This CD is a surprise success for it features the modern altoist Bobby Watson paying tribute to the great Johnny Hodges. Watson performs his own brief "Blues for Alto" plus nine ballads, blues and swing stomps associated with Hodges, using a group that mixes together his usual sidemen of the period (pianist Mulgrew Miller, bassist Curtis Lundy and ... see all copies from $11.23! new only from $11.23!
7	Bern Concert '89 (1989) more music like this by Newport Jazz Festival All Stars This '89 session recalls the best Jazz at the Philharmonic recordings. It's a straight-out, hard-edged, and friendly but combative date featuring The Newport All Stars playing in Germany. Everyone gets plenty of solo space and uses it to good advantage. Ricky Ford, Scott Hamilton, Oliver Jackson, Eddie Jones, Gray Sargent, Norris Turney, Warren ... see all copies from $6.56!
8	Private Collection, Vol. 4: Studio Sessions, New York, 1963 (1963) more music like this by Duke Ellington The fourth of ten CDs released in this valuable series, these studio sessions from 1963, in addition to rare revivals of "Harmony in Harlem" and "Blue Rose," are filled with previously unknown Ellington compositions, a stockpile of fresh material well worth a full investigation by contemporary musicians. Throughout all but the four full-band ... see all copies from $29.36!
9	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Duke Ellington In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from $2.39! new only from $4.39!
10	Ellington at Newport (1956) more music like this by Duke Ellington Duke Ellington's appearance at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival has long been famous, and justifiably so. Paul Gonsalves' 27-chorus tenor solo on "Diminuendo in Blue and Crescendo in Blue" practically started a riot at Newport and made headlines around the world. The momentum generated by this concert led to Ellington's comeback and never let up ... see all copies from $2.24!
11 view cover	Digital Duke (1987) more music like this by Mercer Ellington Digital Duke is a collection of digitally mixed and mastered compositions written by and usually associated with Duke Ellington.

12 view cover	The Blues'll Make You Happy, Too (2000) more music like this by Roomful of Blues This is one of the first volumes in Rounder Records' Rounder Heritage series, which will celebrate the company's 30-year history with a line of 30 releases that dip into the label's deep catalog of blues, folk, and bluegrass recordings.

13 view cover	Satin Doll [RCA] (1957) more music like this by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra This French CD duplicates five of the selections from All Star Road Band (Doctor Jazz), a dance date by Duke Ellington's orchestra in 1957. The remainder of this set has seven selections from a Chicago concert of 1964 which, although adding little to the Ellington legacy, is quite enjoyable on its own terms. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.34!

16 view cover	Continuum (1974) more music like this by Mercer Ellington Although Duke Ellington passed away on May 24, 1974, this posthumous effort can be thought of as his orchestra's final record. Duke's son Mercer took over the big band and at least for a short time still had some surviving veterans in which to form a nucleus. Baritonist Harry Carney is heard on two numbers (taking a solo on "Drop Me Off in Harlem" ... see all copies from $6.60! new only from $6.60!
17 view cover	Live at Basin Street East (2006) more music like this by Charlie Barnet see all copies from $14.80! new only from $14.80!
18 view cover	Duke's Men: The Small Groups, Vol. 2 (1938) more music like this by Duke Ellington Columbia/Legacy continued its Duke Ellington overview with a two-disc set featuring 43 recordings from 1938 and 1939 spotlighting breakout groups from the Ellington Orchestra. Although others were ostensibly heading these aggregations, Ellington was still aboard on piano, either writing the material, conducting it or influencing it with subtle, ... see all copies from $13.85!
19 view cover	65th Birthday Celebration: Live at the Blue Note in New York City (1995) more music like this by Herbie Mann & Various Jazz Artists To celebrate his 65th birthday, the influential flutist Herbie Mann played for a week at the Blue Note in New York, along with some of his favorite musicians. Among the many guests on this CD are such notables as trumpeters Claudio Roditi and Randy Brecker, altoists David "Fathead" Newman, Paquito D'Rivera and Bobby Watson, fellow flutist Dave ... see all copies from $3.13! new only from $7.09!
20 view cover	Duke Ellington at the Alhambra (2002) more music like this by Duke Ellington Much of the music on this CD from Duke Ellington's 1958 Paris concerts is familiar to collectors from its appearance on various European bootleg labels, but Pablo does a better job arranging and annotating this music, which was recorded by Radio France with permission. The program mixes favorites such as "Take the 'A' Train" (featuring trumpeter ... see all copies from $9.91! new only from $9.91!
21 view cover	Smooth Sailing (1999) more music like this by Lucky Thompson In 1999, Indigo Records released an exciting anthology of early Lucky Thompson recordings made in Los Angeles between December 1944 and August 1947. During this time period the South Carolina-born saxophonist participated in a dizzyingly diverse series of recording sessions for small-time and emerging record companies with names like Selmer, Duke, ... see all copies from $7.45! new only from $7.45!
22 view cover	Masters of Jazz (2006) more music like this by Johnny Hodges Johnny Hodges is forever associated with Duke Ellington as one of his principle soloists, though he recorded extensively as a bandleader himself beginning in the '50s. This compilation draws from earlier Storyville releases, including a number of features for the alto saxophonist with Ellington, highlighted by "All of Me" and "Jeep's Blues." But ... see all copies from $10.53! new only from $10.53!
23 view cover	Centerpiece (1989) more music like this by John Handy Altoist John Handy had a unique group in the late '80s that he called Class and featured three young female singing violinists. Unfortunately on their one recording, the violin playing is de-emphasized in favor of the vocalizing (making the date much less unusual than it would have been), Handy's solos are fairly brief and the repertoire (four ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
24 view cover	Greatest Hits [CBS Special Products] (1963) more music like this by Duke Ellington Although Duke Ellington did score a few chart hits on labels controlled by CBS, they are not contained on this Greatest Hits album released on the company's budget line. Rather, the title is meant to suggest that the songs, all co-written by Ellington, are among his best-known. Though most of them date from the 1930s as compositions, these ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.25!
25 view cover	DMP Big Band Salutes Duke Ellington [Dmp] (1997) more music like this by DMP Big Band This tribute to Duke Ellington by the DMP Big Band is perfectly done. While the 15 songs are all familiar, the arrangements are not necessarily of the original recordings but sometimes are later versions from Duke's band. All of the key Ellington soloists are represented by similar-sounding modern players with most of the solos not being note-for ... see all copies from $14.72! new only from $14.72!
