1	The Original Guitar Wizard (2005) more music like this by Lonnie Johnson Lonnie Johnson was best known for his tonally beautiful guitar playing, but he was also a fine singer and songwriter, and pretty adept on violin, piano, banjo, mandolin, harmonium, and bass as well. Equally at home in the blues or the jazz world (he worked with artists as raw as Texas Alexander and as polished as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington ... see all copies from $11.36! new only from $11.36!
2	The New York Sessions 1926-1935 (2003) more music like this by Eddie Lang & Joe Venuti The recordings of master jazz duo Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti have been compiled many times and in many ways, but never before as easily as JSP's four-disc box set The New York Sessions 1926-1935. While Mosaic still deserves pride of place for its massive set The Classic Columbia and OKeh Sessions (which doubles the number of discs), this set earns ... see all copies from $25.71! new only from $25.71!
3	Stringing the Blues (1963) more music like this by Eddie Lang & Joe Venuti This two-LP set (reissued on CD by Koch in 2000) contains a definitive cross-section of the recordings of violinist Joe Venuti and guitarist Eddie Lang. The 32 performances include everything from duets and a few of Lang's meetings with fellow guitarist Lonnie Johnson to examples of Joe Venuti's Blue Four and guest appearances with singer Annette ... see all copies from $19.00! new only from $22.76!
4	A Handful of Riffs (1927) more music like this by Eddie Lang Almost always presented in tandem reissues with violinist Joe Venuti, early jazz guitar virtuoso Eddie Lang here receives an outstanding and well-deserved tribute: 21 chronologically arrayed classic jazz and blues recordings made between 1927 and 1929 without a trace of Venuti but featuring a number of gifted musicians. Lang is heard by himself on ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
5	Happy Rhythm: New York Columbia Recordings, Vol. 1 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Happy Rhythm compiles a raft of performances from eight New York jazz bands of the late '20s and early '30s, most never heard on CD before (and a few not on LP either). Best known are Leroy Tibbs & His Connie's Inn Orchestra and Andy Preer and the Cotton Club Orchestra; the latter was resident band at the famous club from 1923 to 1927, until Preer ... see all copies from $7.91! new only from $16.79!
6	Complete Recorded Works (1925-1932), Vol. 4: 1928-1929 (1991) more music like this by Lonnie Johnson The period of time covered in the fourth of seven Lonnie Johnson Document CDs found the guitarist/singer being well-featured as a leader in many settings. He is heard on three two-part double-entendre performances with singer Victoria Spivey ("New Black Snake Blues," "Toothache Blues," and "Furniture Man Blues"); on five guitar duets with the ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
7	Playing with the Strings [JSP] (1994) more music like this by Lonnie Johnson Maybe because his singing was more powerful than raw and his superb guitar-playing straddled jazz and blues, Johnson is vastly underrated. Yet aside from his fine solo recordings and his partnership with Eddie Lang, he recorded with jazzmen from Oliver through Armstrong to Duke Ellington. All are present here along with his brilliant fiddle and ... see all copies from $20.65! new only from $20.65!

10	Blue Guitars, Vols. 1 & 2 (1998) more music like this by Eddie Lang/Lonnie Johnson Two virtuoso guitarists are featured alone, together and with a small cast of supporting players on the 1998 BGO double-album reissue compilation Blue Guitars, Vols. 1 & 2. Philadelphia native Salvatore Massara, known professionally as Eddie Lang (1902-1933) and New Orleans' own Alonzo Johnson, who worked under the name Lonnie Johnson (1899-1970) ... see all copies from $20.00! new only from $25.15!
