4	The Complete Clef/Verve Count Basie Fifties Studio Recordings (2005) more music like this by Count Basie The eight CDs that make up this collection document the second rise of Count Basie's big band.

7	Portraits [Bonus Tracks] (1988) more music like this by Clark Terry Flugelhornist Clark Terry recorded quite frequently in the 1980s, and his consistency was very impressive.

10	Oscar Peterson Plays Count Basie (1955) more music like this by Oscar Peterson On the face of it, pianist Oscar Peterson (whose virtuosity always allowed him to play an infinite amount of notes) and Count Basie (who made inventive use of silence and space by emphasizing single rhythmic sounds) would seem to have had little in common. However they both swing, and there was a definite overlapping in their repertoire. Peterson ... see all copies from $7.68! new only from $7.68!

17 view cover	Meets Manhattan Swing in a Basie Mood (2004) more music like this by Donnie O'Brien Drummer Donnie O'Brien could have played it safe. He could've easily picked lesser-known Basie standards and done the whole project by the numbers.

19 view cover	Digital Big Band Bash! (1983) more music like this by Various Artists This ten-track set not only has a slightly odd title, it also includes a slightly random group of selections, and while it is nice to hear the Glenn Miller Orchestra's "In the Mood," the Duke Ellington Orchestra's "Do Nothin' Till You Hear from Me," and Quincy Jones' "Walkin'," one can't help but wonder exactly what the connection is, especially ... see all copies from $1.99!
